Everything Else TWC / Re: Didn't TWC use this for something?

« on: April 26, 2015, 11:04:33 AM »

While were on the subject, does anyone know the name of the piece of music that runs from about 0:16 to 0:30 in this clip? And is there any way I can find it? I've been looking for it for sometime now and I just can't seem to find it anywhere.

I was able to identify the second storm alert music from VideoHelper so most likely the song from 0:16 to 0:30 is in their too. Also the Tropical Opener from your video is Anger Pays Off from VH035

This is Alertech II (MAIN) from VH037. Starts at 4:00

In that clip you attached, that 0:16 to 0:30 is in that one too. Right after the Weather Center open. I don't know where it was exactly in the video. I'll say around 4:40-ish. But it was in that clip too.

Tom Nizol is in The Lab. Thought he only did winter weather? And I wonder how much longer he will be in there today. TWC will be on all day and looks to be on all night again.

That's probably why he's there so others like Carl, Mike, and Jim won't be burnt out. I would imagine if they hadn't of canned Kim she would be helping out as well. I remember on a few occasions like the Super Tornado Outbreak of April 2011 for example where they brought in Bryan Norcross to work alongside with Dr. Greg Forbes. Usually, you wouldn't see Norcross outside of hurricane season.

And if my memory serves me right, I think Norcross helped Carl out with the Moore, OK tornado in 2013.

Did TWC do any tributes to her?

I watched most of the 6 and 7pm shows, and saw no tributes.

TWC is such a disappointment! There were Tornado Warnings in Georgia and Eastern Alabama. What did TWC do?
I think it speaks for itself. All taken at the same time.

I thought they had broke into programming a few times.  I remember seeing Carl Parker going through the radars on the air as a possible tornado crossed into Georgia.

They were on from 8 to midnight Thursday night and again from 8 to 10 last night.

Can anyone with Dish Network check during Longform and let me know if the SD channel has the National City Forecasts at the bottom?  The HD is working but was looking for confirmation that the SD is also working.  Thanks.

as of late Thursday night (Feb. 26)/early Friday morning (Feb. 27) at 2:00 AM CT, the SD feed now has the LDL Time and National City Forecast at the bottom.

so now both SD and HD feeds of The Weather Channel now has the time and National weather forecast.

edit: now with photo proof, these pics were taken from my old camera phone that is only being used as a alarm clock/camera.

Its about time. Only took a year lol.

TWC went to Weather Geeks at 12PM ET but went back to WCL at 12:30PM ET.

They're on until 11pm tonight, according to the AMHQ Facebook and Twitter pages.

Programming and Graphics / Re: New Morning Show: "AMHQ with Sam Champion"

"Longtime Weather Channel meteorologists Jim Cantore and Jennifer Delgado will be joining Sam Champion on the network’s 3-hour morning show, “AMHQ. Cantore and Delgado join the show January 26."

I am assuming that they will replace Mike Bettes who is moving to Evenings.

IMHO, Cantore should stay on the evening show. I don't usually watch AMHQ, but I have seen it on occasion, and its not really that bad. Hope they get rid of Anaridis, though. Don't really like her.

On an unrelated note, I'm curious to see how Bettes' show and the LaRosa/Goodloe show turns out.

OCMs & Personalities / Re: Kelly Cass and Nick Walker moved from OCM to Contributor Role

« on: January 10, 2015, 09:47:19 PM »

Well, it was nice knowin' ya Kelly & Nick! I'm afraid contributor is code word for: We're demoting you, which is just one step away from firing you and their days are probably numbered within the next year (at the most). Pfft, Contributor role, please. The folks at TWC in charge of making this decision are as transparent as water.

I'm not a real big Nick Walker fan, but why they couldn't keep him and Vivian together I don't have a clue. But I agree that their days are most likely being numbered. I do like Kelly, though.

Right now, TWC Has one way of fixing this whole mess in 2015 imho. Give the Axe to Long Form for Good.  Whoever is in charge needs to desperately do something.

While they do need to take the the axe to the long form programming, they should rename all their live programming during the day to something other than Weather Center Live. Maybe like Afternoon Outlook or something to that effect.

2. They really should bring Stephanie back down to Atlanta to be his co-host.
3. They better not name it Weather Center Live.

I agree with that first point. If they brought Abrams back to Atlanta, the show would probably get good ratings. And I really hope it doesn't get named WCL.   There's already enough of that on during the day as it is.

Turned TWC on earlier and noticed this. Came as a shock. One thing TWC needs to do is not have WCL on all day, every day. And if they do, they need to name it something other than Weather Center Live, maybe except for the 6-8pm edition.

return either PM Edition of Evening Edition?

If it was me, I'd bring back Evening Edition. But that's my opinion.

My team, the Alabama Crimson Tide, came back to defeat the Auburn Tigers 55-44 last night in a rivalry simply known as the Iron Bowl.

Does anyone have any thoughts about the new contraversal college football playoff system?

IMO, I think it should an 8 team playoff. Not just 4. Would make it interesting.
