NBC Weather Plus had much less exposure than TWC. Keeping it around at all didn't make sense business-wise.

OVERLOAD!

At least it will go away. TWC should think about starting a TWC2...NBCU has the capacity and capability to do that.

...but not the money...

Yeah, besides, NBC already layed off so many jobs over at TWC due to the down ecomony. Prior to this resession, NBC already shut down their radio network (a.k.a. the NBC Red Network) back in 2003.

This was even before when they bought out Universal and of course TWC. ABC and CBS meanwhile still have their radio networks alive today, even Fox! I hope TWC doesn't shut down their radio network. Besides, why would NBCU want a second Weather Channel? I think it would be a waste of money.
 
Speaking of which, will anyone be watching Storm Stories this month?

What about a second NBC weather channel? They shut down Weather Plus after buying TWC.

So this basically means I won't be seeing him outside of recordings anymore; I only catch about 10 minutes of YWT about three days a week, and that's it.

Oh well, maybe I'll just be recording YWT more often.

I'm sure she did the morning National forecast on there.

If you're trying to confirm if it's really her Twitter account, it is. She told us about it during the show yesterday.

It's key wall time for all the key wall fans out there...

They've also turned the studio to the PME colors at the top of the hour. O_o

Well, I guess their current key walls are backlit, so the lighting could fail on them. >_<

Yeah, after further examination, that seems to be just what they did. Will they ever get this thing fixed?!?

It looks like TWC is pushing their OCMs to Twitter now. A&B has opened up their Twitter account:

They still haven't fixed it. FO is using the zoomed in cameras at the projector wall still.
