There will be a special report from 7-11. I'm glad they're coming on for prime time, but you'd think that with an event of this magnitude they would have all hands on deck and be on all day. I mean, this is why TWC exists, isn't it?You would think. I heard on CNN that this is like a Cat 5 Trop. Storm. Now whether that's true of just CNN hype, IDK. If that's really true, TWC needs a talking too by someone! I don't know who.
It will be very interesting to see what happens tomorrow. Given what's about to go down in the northeast, they picked the perfect day for the debut of the new cast, since they'll certainly get a huge audience. Normally, I think Jim and Sam would be sent out in the field to cover the storm, but I wonder if they'll stay in studio for this one since it's the first day of the new AMHQ.Nope: https://twitter.com/TWCChrisWarren/status/559455940676943872

"Longtime Weather Channel meteorologists Jim Cantore and Jennifer Delgado will be joining Sam Champion on the network’s 3-hour morning show, “AMHQ. Cantore and Delgado join the show January 26."
I am assuming that they will replace Mike Bettes who is moving to Evenings.
I smell a carriage dispute coming again...By who? Because of Mike's new show? It's just taking the place of WCL those two hours. I'm assuming It's a TWC run show so it will have LO8, LDL, WATT, etc.
Any talk of TWC working with DTV/DISH to get WATT during longform?I don't like the conecpt of dual feed. TWC says they'll only cut into longform programming for areas that are impacted by severe weather; but that only works for people who have cable and are served by a local Intellistar/Intellistar 2 JR/IntelliStar 2. What about those who have satellite, and may have limited or no internet access, and cannot view the live stream on Youtube? I would definitely change the channel to a more credible local station if that were the case. There are too many flaws with the dual feed system; and the severe weather cut-ins should be aired nationwide.From what I hear: work is being done with Sattelite providers to provide this local dual feed.
TWC is officially done and their credibility. They can have their reality shows and AMHQ garbage. I stopped watching a long time ago but would tune in for the severe weather coverage like today. Well today after 5 min I tuned out. The OCM had no idea the town the tornado warning was in but not even the state. And this has happened in the past but let it slide because I though well your mind is trying to get this info out and mistakes happen. Well I'm sorry but it is happening way too often. And it's about how people look on camera and not about the product. I can't even name these awful OCMs. I have to stop living in the past and realize TWC will never be the same and is a lost cause. But it's sad I can't watch what's going on in other parts of the country weather wise or severe weather. Locally I'll gune to my local news during a big storm.
I thought we were using that word last week when we were discussing this last week in the LF thread. I'm wondering more about the timeframe. Still middle of Oct?Any more news on the relaunch?
Not that I can say publicly, but stay tuned. Relaunch is a strong word.
Just got confirmation that a relaunch is set for mid October. From George Lott SVP of Television.So, around October 13th then? How big will this relaunch be?
