I've noticed this week that TWC is now using the AMHQ areas of the HD studio during WCL.

I noticed TWC is using the small studio 1C  for the 2pm hour.
They had stopped using studio 1C when it became the temporary expert area as TWC was remodeling the Global Forecast Center into The Lab.

Why can't they do this show at 2pm after WCL?

TWC is preempting for live coverage in the mid atlantic and north east however I have no live coverage on FiOS for the NYC area.

The FiOS guide shows TWC live to 2pm Friday though if the storm is still active I doubt they would go to long form programming.

TWC has preempted long-form as of 8pm ET due to severe weather.

TWC was running the promo about preempting regularly schedule programming so I believe they planned to be live to at least 11pm.
 
In the 11pm hour the video is full screen on the national HD feed so I'm guessing the is extra coverage in place of long form shows.

Do Abrams and Bettes still host together at all? Only asking since I haven't watched mornings in forever.

Yes they both do the show from NYC.

TWC was doing extended overage nationwide with Mark and Dr. Forbes in the smaller studio Wednesday.
I noticed today they took the desk out of the smaller studio 1c and turned it into a expert area.

Noticed today TWC is doing the storm specialists segments from the expert area in the studio instead of the GFC.

They keep putting captions on screen for the "Cold Water Captains" show as if people can't understand english being spoken with a Canadian accent.

"Cold Water Captains" is not a new produced for TWC show either.
It's a Discovery Canada show "Cold Water Cowboys" that finished its first season on April 25th.

Are they able to determine in the TWC ratings for shows what are actually are coming from the people getting the main feed and people getting storm coverage on the alternate feed?

Have to believe there are may people in the mid west getting storm coverage and not the non weather reality shows.

Both shows do not belong on The Weather Channel.
