As of today, all long-form shows have the LDL on throughout whole show segments instead of just at :08, :28, :38, etc. Not sure if this a new change or it's just a temporary thing for this week only.

Now that's a change I approve of. Wx info all the time

Really! It used to be this way! I just hope It's not just a change for Thanksgiving as TWC has longform all PM right after DP on Thurs. Even if it's for Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving Travel, It's nice to see!!  Anyone know why weather.com is gone from the LDLs?

Why would Day Planner get a new set when all shows from Atlanta use the same studio?

My guess is Day Planner is going to be replaced with the new talk show format in 2013.
They have the Digital Media Center studio with the couch and chairs they can use.

I think he meant a new set of graphics

I'll check the DVR and post pics from the AM shows.
Day Planner has the new lower third and Live & City name bug.
As you said the rest of the graphics package is old.

I wonder why DP gets to keep their original graphics after all these years.  Is DP getting a new name next year?  I also found it odd that stepf only did an hour of morning rush.

The graphics are nice!  I don't know what to think about the Lower 3rds, I like them but I hope they won't be red all the time. I wonder how long we'll have the LDL, because under the names in the Lower 3rds, they the TWC Logo, TWC Mobile Logo and the weather.com Logo. It looks really nice!  You only see it when the LDL goes off, and I wonder why they would want to cover that up?  I wonder if we'll see new intros for all shows?

I don't know where to put this so I'll start here....   I didn't watch TWC a lot this morning but I just saw YWT End/1:00 LO8/WUWA Start with no commercials. Is that new?  Is it because of the mess in the NE? Part of the new schedule?  I don't know when the last YWT segment came on, TWC was on as I was walking by and thought it was odd that YWT was still on at 8:57AM CST.

Everything Else TWC / Re: Why The Weather Channel is Naming Winter Storms

« on: November 08, 2012, 06:22:40 PM »

The Weather Channel is their channel, not the National Weather Service's channel. If they want to name their storms, let them. Who are we to say they can't?

Indeed , and if naming storms is the only way to keep longform OFF TWC during the day, so be it.  I can't remember the last time I saw longform during the day. I also can't believe TWC's Studio is still red. Is TWC breaking any of their 2005 records? TWC didn't have a red studio in 05 but they did have Storm Alert a few times. Seemed like forever after Kat.

Just checked TV Guide.com, and Zap 2 It.com and The new schedule is gone for now.  Is that because of Sandy? However, Longform is still there, in the old time slots. Has anyone heard any thing??????

I could be wrong, but I got the notion that this new line-up wasn't going to start until early next year.   How far in the future are you looking?

Part of the line up was going to start Monday but its not there anymore.

8:47AM CT, nothing yet but I did see something that caught my eye, When Maria was doing the intro for the CNBC Segment, I saw what looked like a newer version of The TWC Logo on the touch screen. It spun around a few times, and it looked very classy. Has that always been on the touch screen when they’re not using it, or is it new?

Also, I forgot to mention this earlier but it seems like TWC has a little interference going on this morning. It’s not all the time but, you do notice it. Is that any clue?

looks like it didn't have anything to do with TWC after all

Oh well, that’s disappointing!! I wish Mike would have been clearer in his tweet as to what he was referring to.  Has anyone heard news or rumors of any update is coming to TWC? Aren’t we supposed to have a new Local Forecast by the end of the year or did I make that up?

Any idea what this means?

Mike Seidel ‏@mikeseidel
Tune in on Thursday morning in the 9 AM hour ET as we make a change to weather history on The Weather Channel.

Maybe a relaunch? that's the only thing i could get from "we make a change to weather history."

Well, I don't notice anything different yet. Maybe it will be later within the hour?

I don’t either and I’ve been watching TWC ever since I found this at 6:50 CT this morning.  I haven’t heard a thing about it on TWC which gives me a feeling that it’s either going to be a new LDL or Local forecast?  The only thing is, why would TWC pick the last hour of YWT to do this?
Another interesting thing is, the vocal music has not returned to the local forecast, and the men still have their coats off.

I have Dish so, if anyone who has TWC on cable sees something, tell us!

The background of the HD LDL is still blue yes, but the templates that display the weather info is dark red and has been since Thursday as I mentioned.

Concerning you question about Storm Alert, technically they already are in that mode if the studio is lit red, they just aren't using the music.

could you or someone else post a pic? I'm not following you but that could just be me

The studio is now red as of when I just tuned in at 5:54 ET.

Only thing left is to get the LDL in red mode

Which LDL? The HD LDL has already been red for a couple of days now.

Where have you been???? Both LDL's have been dark blue since TWC has been worried about Isaac.  The LDL's should be red I think. Dark blue mode is fine for Holiday Travel but, not for this kind of weather! 

Is STORM ALERT coming?  7PM???

You have Dish Network and Weathernation? On what channel?! I think they have a FB page. You should contact them on FB, they always reply to comments and suggestions and keep their page well maintained.

We just got Weathernation OTA on Monday. We now have 3 local weather channels! plus TWC!!!  Nice!!

Who runs the LDL's Weathernation itsself? or the center on Fond du Lac?
