There was a recent TWC survey on what people liked and did not like on AMHQ.
Maybe the feedback causes them to make the show more about weather. Especially in the 9am hour.

Noticed that TWC is back to using the main studio for WCL 11am-2pm.
Studio 1C is only used for the 4am WCL.

Interesting that the IS1 & IS2 LF have the patriotic theme background yet the National LF does not have that today. Unless they are waiting for Monday?

TWC is live in storm mode at 8pm.

On the national feed Video is full screen and the national LDL is on screen on top of the WCL logo.


On the SD IS feed the local LDL is on top of the national LDL.


After commercials the wing on the right was turned on however the video is still full frame.

They switched to red radar icon and "Severe Storm Central" name. The "Central" is a lighter blue on the TV in the GFC.
In the studio it is more of a light gray "Central" on that TV.

The Weather Channel is running promos that they are doing storm coverage all day.
Graphics are not in storm mode.

TWC has gone live in all areas for storm coverage. Kim and Nick are on.
The video is full screen and the show that would have been on still has its logo on the bottom right.
TWC went to long form at 8pm while storms are still active.
Friend in KS not getting storm coverage on TWC.
TWC is back live at 8:30pm in storm areas.

Guessing from this tweet those who don't have the IS2 on TWC HD do not get the live coverage,

TWC still live at 11pm ET and using storm mode music.  Wonder why they switched out of the storm mode graphics?

Checked the 9am hour of AMHQ and it was all weather. The show should be like this every day.

TWC is promoting a Special Edition of AMHQ on Monday. Apparently Monday's show is going to be mostly weather.

Good question. I don't get it either what determines when they turn the storm mode graphics on.
If they are on all day to cover storms you would believe they would turn the storm graphics on.


TWC is running a video today with Mike Bettes talking about the changes they are making to their storm chasing to be safer during storms.

The Weather Channel free app has been updated. I don't like how there is no menu to directly access sections.
Now you have to swipe down to other sections of the app and then swipe up to go back.
