Blah, more "big names" to add to their lineup just to broaden their advertising and casual attention.
Could someone also change the topic title to make it more descriptive? Someone had to tell me about this story off-site. I never would have thought to check this topic.
I know this May sound harsh but I got to say I absolutely hate these changes to The Weather Channel.
First off I hate the schedule changes. I want weather after 2pm on weekends and later in the evening on weekdays.
2nd I don't like the new graphs/maps at all they look so cheap looking,they looked like they were designed by a bunch of high schoolers in a power point class.
3rd When severe weather breaks out in parts of the country only there going to get break ins what Bullsh-- I want to see the coverage also and not stupid non weather related programming..
4th I don't like the new local on the 8's.
5th. Really don't like that every show after Morning Rush is named WCL. So much for the shows having a different identity with anchor changes.
I see that the weather channel on there facebook page wanted to hear viewers feedback and respond to comments but they never do answer questions on the negative questions or comments that were posted.
Thank god for weather app on my phone this was the final straw for me when it comes to watching the weather channel.
Wonder when we will about the layoffs coming cause it's going to happen.

I'm pretty impressed by the new graphics. Very clean and modern.
Verizon FiOS on Long Island is not letterboxing the SD feed. I was hoping they would.
I'm not a huge fan of the Local on the 8s music... It's too bland and repetitive and easy to get tired of if you watch for a half hour or so. And I don't like the "welcome" text at the beginning... Here's a sample:
New York City, you did something to your hair, right?
New York City, we're from the future. (Not really, but we can predict it.)
New York City, now you can break the ice.
New York City, by the way, how'd that meeting go?
New York City, forget pork bellies, we've got weather futures.
New York City, we got you.
New York City, that's a great color on you.
New York City, we're going to make you an offer you can't refuse.
On the bottom of the screen, I keep getting forecasts for New York City and Hartsdale (Westchester County). I'm on Long Island. I think I used to get the NYC and Islip forecasts, which made more sense.
My thoughts on the changes it's definitely fast paced i love the addition of the cities next to the radar map plus the jokes near the time clock absolutely funny although i will miss the narrations that to me was the staple of TWC for many years love the colors on the radar weather bar graph perfect & it looks like the vocals have been pushed to the end segments after each story or forecast overall a solid A for me good job WC crew.
has it been determined if its just intellistar 2 that will update or will intellistar update too?
My question is how are all of the Intellistars going change at once if they are at our cable headends? Is there some kind of button at the TWC HQ's they push and it sends the new GFX to the Intellistars all at once?From what I understand and based on previous large-scale updates (August 15, 2005; October 23, 2007; June 2, 2008; and March 11, 2010), the update is downloaded by the STAR ahead of time and then TWC sends a reboot/reset command to the STAR a few minutes before the changeover is set to happen which triggers the change.
Many of you seem confused as to why they would do a face lift to the set if there's a decrease in air time, and I get it. But here's a question: why do local television stations change their sets when they have less than 7 hours (give or take) of news broadcasting each day?With all the long form programming TWC has, do they really need a big set?I am also surprised they are updating the studio. Going along with what Eric said, if they are increasing long-form, what is the purpose of even remodeling the studio? However, I wonder if they are trying to confine the studio to a smaller space now, and they will be filling the excess space with something else we don’t know about yet?
I'm surprised they are even getting a new studio. The other one was pretty spiffy.
I compare it to that. Always room for a face lift/image rebrand.
You bring up a good point, Andy. Perhaps they are filling excess space with something else, whether it's behind the scenes stuff or stuff we'll see eventually.
And I'm going to stick with what I said earlier...these pictures are underwhelming (in my opinion). Very anxious for the final result tomorrow!
