Programming and Graphics / Re: New Graphics coming to TWC
« on: November 09, 2013, 08:41:45 PM »Here's a response from Kim on FB about her new schedule, "I will still be seen during the week 7-8pm during the week and part of the local severe weather team on weekends and after 8pm."Intresting. What about DISH and DTV?, are they separated into regions? Would they go live to the whole country for a Nor Easter/East Cost Storm, Blizzard, or Tropical? I'm assuming this team will do the regular weather updates? What about Afternoon longform?
I'm guessing "the local severe weather team on weekends and after 8pm" means that if there is a severe storm in a regional area TWC goes live to those areas on a alternate feed while everyone else stays on long form.
I hope this alternate feed does not require the IS2 to switch it on because my cable system does not have the IS2.

« on: November 09, 2013, 01:18:41 PM »What time of day do you guys think TWC will debut the new look?What I would do is show WATT during longform today and tomorrow, since longform is extended now, and go full out Monday at 8PM ET. There won't be any more Live Programing after WCL until First Forecast(are those still the right names?) Tues morn. I understand if the set and the in house graphics aren't show ready, but WATT must be ready by now!

« on: November 09, 2013, 10:52:31 AM »LOVE the weather ticker during longform.YES! Finally! Although, the ticker/LDL almost blends in with the longform. No L bar during longform, oh well. I'm dying to see where the LO8/Live Updates/extended coverage fits in with longform. I was hoping that snow storm would hold true for next week but it doesn't look like it today. I'm also dying to see what DISH and DTV gets.
As for TWC Before And After, the only new footage is the ticker/LDL over longform. That commercial ran 1:15. Would TWC be able to show that on air?

This is off topic but still very interesting! WeatherNation debuted a new LDL yesterday (they call it a banner) and last night, at least my station in Milwaukee WI, squeezed back the commercials and kept the LDL up! Those of you who have WN may want to check it out. Competition perhaps? Or does TWC have a hit on their hands that others want to follow? I would love to see that new tool debut before the new set!

Only 6 Days to go! I'm surprised they havent tested the LDL/L Bar during DP like they used ti do with the 33% LDL long ago when they used it for longform. There's also been no commercials yet. They did commercials for the June 2008 HD Launch and the 33% LDL longform
As of right now, no promos today and no GFC.

The Weather Channel studio right now. It's been totally ripped out for a brand new look that launches in under 10 days. I've seen the plans, looks pretty awesome.

I hope TWC knows what it's getting into! There's not much time to put that studio back together. I also hope TWC has the real schedule. The schedules I've seen don't match up and look a little scary on weekends after 2PM ET/11AM PT!.
I hope TWC doesn't lose that drive to cut longform for severe weather like they did on Halloween.

« on: November 02, 2013, 09:46:34 PM »Did you find another YouTube vid?now we know where the phrase "Weather All The Time" came fromWell after seeing a youtube of the ocm announcing changes coming in november they were talking about lot8s. Weather all time also most likely means frequent local on the 8s also. There advertising getting your weather 24/7. So maybe ocm's will cut in for maybe a winter weather update or things like that. It seems unethical to put all info in one L Bar. Plus radar is needed too. So I would calm down just a little bit as 8 hours of no local on the 8s is not ethical. Again it might seem repetitive me but crossing my fingers for Jazz and instrumentals.

« on: November 02, 2013, 01:48:34 PM »9PM Central. SorrySince when did WCL start at 9? I thought it was always at 10 after longform :huhIt looks like TWC's cutting back even more on weekends. Starting November 16th, they'll be no live programming at all after 2PM.Not even a 9PM show? Or, is it too far out? Either way, don't over due longform TWC! I don't want you in another Dish dispute and almost lose you again! Unless, Weather All The Time fills our longform needs. We won't know that until it starts.
On the other hand, watched the end of 9PM WCL last night and Chris was doing the regluar longform intro, then he said weather updates will be at least every 30 min. So maybe the updates will be more frequent when needed?

« on: October 30, 2013, 09:53:55 AM »My channel guide has updated and is showing more changes for the 12th. Here's the new schedule:I hope that schedule's true! Sounds like a good trade off. I wont miss WUWA at 9/10AM! The only thing I'll miss is sometimes I would stop by WCL at 9/10PM but not every night. More so now because of the upcoming changes. If the schedule is true I don't think this is a big increase in longform. TWC may get more viewers at 2PM than at WCL at 12/1AM.
4:00am-5:30am - Weather Center (replaces First Forecast and On The Radar)
5:30am-7:00am - Wake up with Al
7:00am-11:00am - Morning Rush (4th hour added from 10-11:00am, Wake up With Al repeat no longer airs)
11:00am-8:00pm - Weather Center (Day Planner and Afternoon long-form no longer air)
8:00pm-2:00am - Long-form programming

« on: October 29, 2013, 10:19:45 PM »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?

I wonder how many commericals TWC needs to show? Would be intresting if TWC could do a live update every brake. Would make longform easier to watch.
