Local Forecast / Re: General LF Discussion

« on: June 13, 2014, 12:58:45 PM »

Really, TWC?    These graphics scare me more than Friday the 13th! 

Weather Channel SD and HD LOT8s with Friday the 13th graphics

WHY in the world does TWC consider Friday the 13th a holiday?!  It's not!  It was even on their "Holiday countdown" wheel.  Ugh.

Just saw a local forecast, why is this a problem?????? It's looks fine to me.

GLAD that this is over! I wonder how many people reacted to DTV when Sam started and now that Dave is coming back?

I'm also proud of DTV for the fact that WN gets to keep its promontion! Hopefully, this is the start of more than one weather channel, not just one.

As for cutting longform, I saw in one article that this will not affect TWC's Primetime Lineup, Of Course!!!  So, has the cutting been done already? Or, is DTV expecting more?


Hopefully, People are getting good service from WN now. I haven't found much if anything on YT about WN on DTV. Tried to view WN DTV other places, no luck!

OCMs & Personalities / Re: Dave Schwartz Returns

« on: March 14, 2014, 11:34:31 AM »

WOW! I'm shocked! So, where are they going put him On Air??? Or are we going to lose a few OCMs? If not, any more OCMs and They'll have to cut some longform! TWC has been on a roll during the week since DTV lost it. Of course longform was on at 7PM CDT last night. Wonder if DTV or their customers will blink any once news about Dave gets out. Or, is Dave back in order to get DTV back?

I guess Network Weather in dead. Wasn't Dave the founder? If not, I'm mistaken.

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

So now we have two TWC broadcaters who have their own show but don't have an actual meteorology degree. Perfect!  (Sarcasm)

That begs the Question: Why did WABC/GMA & WNBC/Today Hire them?

So, AMHO begins March 17th. Saw it on twitter.  Quick question,  why is David Clark giving us a link to ABC NEWS????  Unable to copy the tweet here, sorry.

For anyone that has DTV, how is WN doing? Asking because in the last 24 hours, my local WN in Milwaukee froze up(and it wasn't the first time!) and this morning, the audio has static in it. It sounds awful! What good is WN if it doesn't work well??? I HOPE WN does not have these problems on DTV!!!!!

It doesn't. This sounds like a station signal issue in Milwaukee but It just runs smooth on DTV.

Thanks! That's good to know since WN is the only one on DTV.

Just looked on zap2it, and it looks like TWC is going back to their schedule before WATT on Monday Jan 27th. Hopefully that happens.

Hopefully we still have DTV customers on here,  I would be interested in How WN is different compared to their website and roku streams. Are there commercials?  Does the Alert LDL stay on all the time if needed? Could someone take video?  Thanks!

The TitanTV Guide and my Comcast TV Guide now shows WCL airing from 11AM-2PM ET for Today, Tomorrow and Friday only.

Does that mean something is changeing next week ?

Just thought of something. Now that WN has DTV, would WN drop their Local channels?

I'm speechless! I'm totally shocked that there's WCL at 2PM!! Good Job TWC! For now.

Now, let's see who's next to drop the channel.  If Dish does it next, then the channel might get back on track for good.  I predict some house cleaning may be done at the channel now, starting with those responsible for the non-weather-related longform. 

Of course, I don't imagine this dispute will be permanent.  The Viacom dispute wasn't.

^ DISH's VOOM dispute was permanent or its still going on. As far as people who leave TWC Al should be the first.  I like him on TODAY but not on TWC. As far as the longform people,  are they from NBC or TWC?

Yep WeatherNation is now on TWC's original spot at Ch362. TWC is live 24/7 again.

It's official, it's WAR between DirecTV and TWC, and I strongly believe DISH will be next to drop because their contract with TWC is set to expire in July according to a source.

I hope not! Just add The 3 others! This would never work with the sports and/or news channels! Why are Weather channels different?!??!


Any guesses on how long TWC will be off DTV? Will this make National or cable news? How will this change WN and TWC, because WN just a big promotion!
