OCMs & Personalities / Re: 2012 Layoffs

« on: November 23, 2012, 04:23:19 AM »

Trying to keep track of the OCM changes this month. If I'm correct,
Kelly Cass and Paul Goodloe are OCMs for WCL 5pm-7pm M-F.
Reynolds Wolf is now the regular OCM for First Outlook.
Alex Wallace and Kim Cunningham are now the OCMs for Weather Center Live Sat and Sun at 7pm and 10pm.
Alex and Kim contribute to some of the weekday WCL shows at 10pm and are OCMs for the live segments at 1am.
Not sure who the regular weekend OCMs are for Weekend Now 11am-2pm and WCL 4pm.

Even with two OCMs on at 1am tonight it's the same format with only two live segments and the rest full rebroadcasts of blocks of the 10pm show.
Also there is no live weather programming 2pm Thursday to 4am Friday.

Map graphics are starting to change to match the intro and lower thirds.
The Max Radar graphic is updated on all shows except Day Planner that was using the old graphics.

Other maps also have the new format,

The SD IntelliStar LDL on FiOS has Weather.com below the logo. The national HD LDL does not have weather.com below the logo.

Do they check reporter names before broadcasting reports?
Michelle Franzen was called Stephanie Franzen and the L3rd was wrong to.


They fixed it for the 10pm show.

The 1am WCL weekends is following the same format as weekdays.
1am and 1:30am blocks live. 1:10am, 1:20am. 1:40am and 1:50am blocks from the 10pm show.
The taped blocks are being shown letterboxed again. 

I know most people don't even notice most of show is not live still this is beyond stupid to have an OCM come in to do one show and only 2 of the 6 blocks are live.
Even more embarrassing are 3 hour outdated maps from the 10pm forecast segments.

I have no problem with the show blocks having tape segments in them, however either do the show with live forecast segments or go to taped programming at 1am.

If someone wants to make the arguement it's a costs savings to replay most of the 10pm show at 1am,
they still have the al crew there as parts of the 1am show are live right? What happens if they have a problem with playback of the recorded segments?

Taped segments are full screen for the 1am WCL.
They need to consider a name change for the 1am show since 75% of it is not live.

The national HD LDL is back into storm mode today and they added airport travel delays on the left where the show name usually is.

The taped segments on the 1am WCL are still letterboxing on the SD channel.

Is there a place on Weather.com or a e-mail address where we can complain to TWC about the changes to the 1am WCL?
I only found the feedback section.
