I agree - that would be the best solution.  One can only speculate why that hasn't yet happened, other than TWC's dwindling interest in actually showing weather reports.

Did anyone get to go to their sneak peak event today?

what event?

As of this morning, TWC's Logo is Orange. It's not Orange yet on the LO8. What's the occasion? If it's for fall, It's a nice touch!

The SD IntelliStar LDL on FiOS has Weather.com below the logo. The national HD LDL does not have weather.com below the logo.

How did FiOS get so lucky???  DISH has no weather.com on both SD and HD.

Wait a minute, I just reread your post.  You have a SD Local don't you?  Do Local LDLs come with their own weather logo?

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?
