An inside source at TWC told me that Good Morning America Weather Anchor Sam Champion is leaving GMA and heading over to The Weather Channel! I have always liked Sam Champion he presents his weather forecast very good! I'm glad to see he is coming to TWC!!!! Stay tuned for more info...Please tell me that his is replacing Al!
My Comcast TV Guide says WCL will return to 10pm ET and 1am ET on Monday 12/2.No, but I did see on Zap2it that TWC is done next Thurs and Fri at 2PM ET!
Is anyone else's TV guides showing the same results?
Getting a chance to check out clips of the new IS2 LOT8's,Sounds like Prospect and Freaks is a maybe for tonight if there's not severe weather.
framing the new IS2 local forecast for 4:3 is a step backwards when the finally frame their video and maps for 16:9.
Unless this is just the initial version and a change to full frame is going to happen.
For those wondering, while the studio is already in red mode the national LDL and the wing on the right are still regular colors.
TWC is not going to be live all day as they are already promoting Prospectors for 9pm ET.
red mode looks great, except for the blue background on the L bar.. I thought in the previews it was supposed to turn black/gray. would look a lot better. maybe It'll change during the day once they get into breaking weather mode.In the preview videos, didn't the L Bar and the LDL look transparent? I haven't seen that since the relaunch during live programing, so maybe that wasn't the best look.
If anyone from twc actually reads these forums...By the tweets I've seen, I think TWC will go national which is what they should do. BTW, nice Red Mode WCL Open at 5AM CT!
They mentioned they will be having live severe weather coverage from 4:30 am to 9:30 pm at least, will this be national or just regional with the dual feed? I tried asking on twitter.. no response.
TWC is talking about severe weather for a big part of the mid west on Sunday so it might be the first use of the dual feed or extended live coverage.I'll take that over the dual feed. Now, maybe I'm in the minority because I have DISH, don't think I've seen dual feed, don't know if DISH qualifies for dual feed. However, I am in WI so Sunday should be very interesting.
Just so you're both aware, they did that last Thanksgiving if I recall correctly. They would have done it last Christmas also, but the Plains was being affected by a snowstorm. It was that "D" storm, but I don't remember the name of it.True and I couldn't remember last year. Heck, I can't even remember the cutting of longform at Christmas last year! Hopefully they'll do that again, however this duel feed talk worries me a little.
The only way they'll reconsider (just like this past Christmas) is if another major winter storm is brewing during that time.
EDIT: Even folks at TWC deserve to be at home w/ family on Turkey Day if the weather across the country is calm and quiet don't ya think?
Although this might be off topic TWC is pre-empting Live Weather Coverage after 2pm on Thanksgiving day and Black Friday (11/28-11/29). Hope they reconsiderI don't remember the schedule in other years but they should reconsider! They're going to get into hot water. If their not already are.
"Our first objective is to ensure our fans get their weather, all the time, on our screen, even during commercial breaks and when watching our shows."
Except if you have a cable system that does not have an IS2 and you get nothing on screen during longform and the longform commercial breaks. I get why it's not on screen, technically it's not weather all the time.
"Weather Center Live starts at 10 a.m. ET giving you all the weather stories around our globe and hosted by the most talented meteorologists today."
Huh? A rebroadcast of "Wake Up With Al" was on at 10am ET Tuesday.
"Starting at 8 p.m. ET and throughout the night, every night, we will provide our fans the most engaging stories of real people tackling the natural drama of lives lived in the elements. Shows in November and December at night include Prospectors at 9 p.m. ET and Freaks of Nature at 10 p.m. ET every Sunday."
BS! Prospectors has nothing to do with weather and should be on another channel.
I am happy though that other non weather reality shows are no longer on the schedule.
TWC still does not have a set OCM schedule. Jen was on 4am Tuesday with Alex Walice and today Julie is on with Alex at 4am.
Same music is back under all forecast segments

Forgot to mention they gave a local on the 8s at 8:50 CDT And it was silent, but I heard the chime and narrations. Weird.same thing happened this afternoon during longform.
Thanks, I was so pumped for this relaunch! One of the reasons was I was hoping it would make longform a little better to watch and when nothing changed i got nervous!So, are you saying TWC can't show anything on Satellite?
Dish and Direct TV can use their own Stars to overlay their Stars' output over the national LDL, as in the past. There's bound to some difficulty at first.
The whole system has had a few hiccups, but has otherwise been pretty successful for a flash-cut at 4:00 this morning, and with, apparently, rather little preparation time. (The worst blooper I saw was at 5:00 this afternoon when the squeezeback didn't happen and the LDL/sidebar just got switched off after a few minutes.)
Just give it a little time. Once things get ironed out, you might see some improvements.
Still no LDL as of 7:20PM CT during longform! Could someone let TWC know so they can look in to this? This isn't Weather All The Time. Why should DISH and DTV?? be left out?The blank LDL Is for the IS2. That's where the mini ldl shows weather all the time. Since they can't make them both run each other, one has to go.
If they're still having problems I apologize, but how do we know?
