What time of day do you guys think TWC will debut the new look?

It does look smaller, and that area where the video wall is has much "warmer" feeling to it.

BTW, did we ever find out what was in the mysterious "Fragile" box???

It really does look a lot smaller than the old one. I normally don't say this but I'm not sure if I like the new set. I guess I will just have to see it in production then make my decision if I like it or not. And as far as I know we still don't know what was in that "Fragile" box. I was trying to look at that 360 view of the new studio and figure out what might have been in that box but I sure as hell can't figure it out lol.

Only 5 more days till WATT!!! I can't wait! I'm off from work that day so I will be watching all day! This is going to be a good change for TWC and in the right direction.

Also Jim Cantore mentioned he liked that you get your local forecast all the time, you don't have to wait for your local on the 8s. Not groundbreaking... just thought provoking.

An LDL, even an always-on and expanded LDL, is still just an LDL.  There's so much more that an actual local forecast segment can provide, assuming TWC gives that segment an appropriate amount of time.  (One minute just does not cut it.)  I sincerely hope that the new LDL isn't seen as a replacement for actual local forecasts and for actual weather programming, but, sadly, I think that's the new direction TWC is going in.

That's not the direction TWC is going in. In the WATT preview video they still had local forecast, weather programming, etc. Not to sound rude but re-watch the WATT video again and you will see they are still going to have those things.

I went through Zap2it.com and the guide took me through Tuesday the 12 only up until 8pm. After 8pm no programming shows. But for the rest of the day it has Morning Rush starting at 7am, WUWA at 10am,  Day Planner at 11am, long-form starting at 2pm, then WCL at 5pm - 8pm. No new shows names yet. Maybe zap2it will update the show names as the day gets closer. Because I do know some show names are supposed to change.

Can you tell us which shows and the names?

Is Al leaving TWC? Wishful thinking I know, but really, how long is his contract?

Someone on here posted that Mike Bettes said that some live show names are changing. But Mike Bettes didn't say which ones.

Ok I thought so. I only asked because I seen the video wall and the desk was in a different position.

I should already know this. But did the area where the OCM's sit rotate?

Yeah they are. I wish I was one of those fans that got to go to TWC Headquarters in Atlanta for the sneak peek of the changes. I'm still wondering how those people got to go see the changes.

I really like the new design of weather.com. It's very clean and organized. Before they relaunched weather.com I kept going to beta.weather.com just to see the redesign. Once again good work TWC!!!!

If this is what the finished GFX are going to look like then I will honestly say I REALLY LIKE THEM!!!!! They are very clean and modern looking. I live in Tallahassee, FL so I wonder how our LOT8s will look being that our city is not that big. I wonder if we will have pictures of our city in the background on our LOT8s like in the example of Boston in the video. I really can't wait till these GFX debut. Oh and having the weather on the right hand side of the screen is perfect! Good work TWC!!!!

Everything Else TWC / Local Weather Always On

« on: October 02, 2013, 07:54:11 PM »

I remember reading about TWC leaving the local weather on all the time even during commercials. I have been watching TWC for the past hour and my local weather is always at the bottom of the screen now. Is anyone else seeing this as well? Maybe it's an Intellistar problem at my head end. But let me know if anyone else is seeing their local weather at the bottom of the screen now during commercials. And by the way it's on my SD channel not my HD channel

Hmmmmm this makes me wonder, what is going to happen. I wonder if it's an annoucement of the new Winter Storm names. Or maybe it's about the new graphics or something along those lines.... We will find out when it's time. I wont be home at 5pm but when I do get back home I will go to weather.com or check out this page....
