I think WCL is in a good spot. I watched WCL at 4/3 Central today, and the first thing they said after the opening graphics, was: it’s 4:00 and that’s the time that a forecast update comes out from the Global Forecast Center. So, we’ve now got 2 very good OCMs plus Storm Tracker Cantore telling the latest information. I think that works. When there is severe weather, when TWC “decides to cover it outside of the regular WCL block”, I wonder if TWC will get better ratings? I often wondered what the ratings would do if TWC put a big name at 4PM, like A and/or B, Cantore, now Chris, Crystal and Cantore. Don’t get me wrong, Nick and Viv are great. I just wonder if a bigger name would pull in higher ratings when severe weather hits in late PM into evening and overnight.
WCL at 1pm in CA???? That is odd!!! I don’t know how to fix that issue!
We all have our opinions, and I'm not trying to attack you here, but I really don't think Chris and Crystal are the best OCMs out there, if you are referring to them in this post. I highly wish someone like Paul Goodloe was back on the early primetime slot, rather than the much later one.
In response to Mike's post: I can't believe TWC is showing programs like
that.
IMO, that's going
way downhill.
And finally, in response to Christina's post: Obviously TWC's ratings aren't doing too poor, if they are able to add all this long-form. Unfortunately, they always seem to "win" because they know when to pre-empt and earn tremendously high ratings during severe weather/hurricanes.

They're kind of similar.
