More news in evening hours

Morning is network's most watched viewing period

YWT with A&B? Is that an error?

A new look that will keep viewers informed on weather news coming this fall

"...the network will produce Breaking News Specials that will air within 10 days of major U.S. weather events to reveal how people prepared for and survive natural forces, according to the network."

yep the A&B thing is right they are starting on YWT June 22nd,

"Weatherproof, in which weather testers put everyday items through extraordinary weather conditions; America’s Worst Weather: Caught On Camera, which showcases amateur camera footage of some of the dangerous storms to hit the U.S.; and Tornado Chasers, which embeds viewers among scientists who chase major storms."

"In addition, the network will produce Breaking News Specials that will air within 10 days of major U.S. weather events to reveal how people prepared for and survive natural forces, according to the network."

That description sounds like another "Storm Stories" where it's updated more quickly.  Even when they come up with new long-form programming ideas, they're all still the same things as before. :rolleyes:
