Are you saying I'm wrong for saying false headlines? Maybe I should have said misleading. Because they are. I agree with that article.I think what's going on is that some people don't like the headlines that try to capture the viewers attention, they have a problem with it? So what. Everybody has an opinion, not worth fighting about.
So news is more important than a tornado warning? this happened yesterday on WUWAThat show is very complicated to produce. They have to make sure that the taped parts are taped properly, and if they despensed with the headlines there would have been a gap in playback.
Al Roker:" We're going to get to that tornado warning that's just west of Washington, DC but i want you to get quickly caught up with this morning's headlines"
I guess you think News headlines are more important than people's lives TWC
Dumping a taped segment is hardly a chore, having done it numerous times. You fill time on-air with the warning update, advice and analysis.

I don't like the conecpt of dual feed. TWC says they'll only cut into longform programming for areas that are impacted by severe weather; but that only works for people who have cable and are served by a local Intellistar/Intellistar 2 JR/IntelliStar 2. What about those who have satellite, and may have limited or no internet access, and cannot view the live stream on Youtube? I would definitely change the channel to a more credible local station if that were the case. There are too many flaws with the dual feed system; and the severe weather cut-ins should be aired nationwide.From what I hear: work is being done with Sattelite providers to provide this local dual feed.
Yea that was a concern raised before that wall was even debuted. There are ways the graphic team has that make this look great. You should see it before that is done, everyone would notice, so even though you may nto see it, it's actually an improvement
- There will be a push to make TWC more interactive, eventually completely removing the utilization of Chroma walls and using more walls monitors ad plasma's, as seen in the recent Severe coverage by using the large AMHQ video wall for the MAX weather graphics.
The only problem I have with that is the large video wall would work better as one screen, not a group of smaller screens. I find the lines distracting - and sometimes you can see how one screen isn't quite calibrated with the next, leading to some color variations.
But this is nit-picking, I imagine many viewers don't even notice.
TWC seem to be taking a good interest in Typhoon Hudhud, even forecasting it...Who knows? Maybe viewers may have family there, major weather is covered no matter where it is.
Oh well, it seems to be the only exciting weather event right now.
I thought we were using that word last week when we were discussing this last week in the LF thread. I'm wondering more about the timeframe. Still middle of Oct?Any more news on the relaunch?
Not that I can say publicly, but stay tuned. Relaunch is a strong word.
Any more news on the relaunch?
Well this could be interesting. The article says that the TV network could be sold separately from the weather data side of the business. I wonder what this means.
Maybe the weather channel could become a franchise...
When the UK had it's own weather channel (Yep, we did, with British OCM's and forecasts the lot) it was a franchise, the station wasn't produced by NBC or back then TWC itself, but the IPW, the commercial arm of the Met Office.
I need to do more research into the UK version. Apparently it too was meant to have local forecasts. Not quite sure how that would work as it was a satellite service... Plus we only have 3 or 4 cable providers nationally...
Oh well...
It sounds like you can't give details which is fine, I don't want you in trouble. However can you at least tell us how close we are to that logo?Really like this version of the TWC logoThat is a sign of things to come, but that's about all I can say. I like it too.
