According to my Zap2it guide there's some major schedule changes on the way starting March 1st. I checked the Zap2it.com website to try to confirm the changes but unfortunately the listings don't go out that far. However, I checked TV Guide.com and it confirms these changes so they seem legit to me.
Weekends
8-9PM - Storm Stories
10PM-12AM - PM Edition Weekend
1-4AM - PM Edition Weekend
Weekdays
2-3PM - It Could Happen Tomorrow
3-4PM - Full Force Nature
4-7PM - PM Edition
7-9PM - Weather Center
-
As I said in the General TWC thread, ICHT/FFN will supposedly air on 2-4 PM weekends too, I just saw a commercial for that.
-
That explains that mysterious "Weather Center with Abrams and Bettes" logo.
-
What's going to happen to Evening Edition??? :dunno:
And, what's this, PM Edition in the AMs? What is TWC thinking? :wacko:
Do you possibly have the new schedule for all of the day? :unsure: This is a MAJOR change, and I don't like it one bit. :thumbdown:
-

Apparently EE is no longer going to exist on the weekends.

-
Can't they put normal programming (so we can hear the primetime playlist) from 9pm to 12am and then put WWCH from 12-1am?
-
This schedule is messed up. A&B was one of TWC's most popular live shows. Tacking on additional long-form programming might be needed for the excessive layoffs, but it feels like there is way too much of it.
I can't believe people still watch Full Force Nature and IT Could Happen Tomorrow. Are they recycling the same few episodes or did they magically air first-runs?
-
*Pulls all hair out*
*Screams*
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Ok guys, time to riot at the TWC HQ.
-
This explains the WC-A&B logo.
-
This explains the WC-A&B logo.
Already been said. ;)
That explains that mysterious "Weather Center with Abrams and Bettes" logo.
-
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww man, I hope they keep the A&B music for WC-A&B.... That's their best music package! If they don't it looksl ike I have to do some recording for memory's sake :(
-
This schedule is messed up. A&B was one of TWC's most popular live shows.
Apparently it wasn't; the ratings were relatively low. (in 2007, at least)
-
I think now would be a good time to throw a little reminder out. We are an extremely small segment of TWC's viewership. Our likes and dislikes around here are not necessarily representative of the bigger picture. Those who go throwing statements out about this or that show being the most popular, or this or that OCM being most popular, or any other such statement ought to take that into consideration (or at least back up what they say).
-
BTW, where do you get these Zap2It guides for times so far in the future? Obviously the guide on their site only goes forward two weeks.
-
O.M.G. what the hell?
PM Edition at 2am??? their graphics were definitely not meant for the evening, oh my god. (i know its just for the weekends, but still)
-
It would work if the color scheme for PME Weekend would change for the evening hours. I think the 2AM showing of PME Weekend is a reprise from earlier at night, so they may or may not have a live PM Edition in the AM.
-
I think the 2AM showing of PME Weekend is a reprise from earlier at night, so they may or may not have a live PM Edition in the AM.
Correct, it would work exactly how EEWC works now, with the 1 AM ET hour live and repeats at 2 and 3 AM ET, only now it'll be PMEWC.
-
Of course, it could be a big mistake, and it might really be EE Weekend. We'll see.
-
Does PMEWC stand for PM Edition West Coast? Or, if Adam Berg were to be anchoring then, he'd call it PM Edition After Dark.
-

PMEWC = PM Edition West Coast, as it'll still be PM on the west coast until the 3am repeat showing
-

that could very well be the case too...i remember on twcmediakit they had a show listing as "PM Evening Edition" :P

I get it from the TV Guide on my cable box.

Update: It looks like Evening Edition is cancelled. Here's the new weekday evening schedule
7-10PM Weather Center

2-3AM Weather Center
3-4AM Weather Center

(http://img159.imageshack.us/img159/9759/picardbv6rw9.jpg)
That sums it up....I thought EE was the most popular show?
-
Are you sure that's not the 1999 schedule? :blink:
At least there's no evening long-form in that schedule.
-
I'm not buying it just yet. Program guides usually aren't dependable that far in advance. :no:

I would love this schedule if I actually believed it. I doubt they're going back to the old format from the late 90's.

EE is a very popular show. I just don't see it going anywhere :wacko:

Welcome to 1998! :wave:
-
EE is a very popular show. I just don't see it going anywhere :wacko:
Maybe they'll use the same hosts for "Weather Center" I mean, if EE is popular, it has to be because of the hosts I would assume? I mean, the gfx/music can't be why it's popular, I wouldn't think:?
-
Nice! I can hear the primetime playlist more often now! :happy:
-
They're BLOWING OUT the evening for Weather Center! YEAH, let's do THAT!
Update: TV Guide is showing the PM Edition Weekend change for March 1. Expect tomorrow to hold those big changes too.

evening edition is one of the highest rated shows on TWC, are they trying to lose their viewers?

Welcome to 1998! :wave:
Great! Let's revert back to the 1998-2006 icons and use the first edition of the XL... and see some former OCM's present the weather.
*This isn't to be taken literally*
-
I'm pretty sure they won't have Weather Center for nine hours straight. Could be wrong though. :blink:
But I STILL don't understand why PM Edition Weekend goes into the AM hours. Maybe they should have an AM Edition Weekend. Things aren't making sense. :wacko:

Seem like 1998 because my Comcast Guide says the same schedule :thinking:
If this ends up being true i get to have a better chance to record the overnight list in one night :o

Weather Center:With Abrams and Bettes, that is so :censored: crazy!! A&B has to stay just as A&B!! OMG I hope they keep it that way!!!!!!! :censored: :club:

What you don't seem to get is that that schedule is extremely unreliable this far out.
-
I've said it before, and I'll say it again - The Weather Channel is DEAD!
-
I'm not getting my hopes up for this schedule. We'll know for sure the changes to the schedule by Friday the 27th, at the earliest.
-
I understand...but I was clarifying what I had said earlier, Gary. Sorry.

Blah...I knew my senses were tingling. There was something about that logo I saw at that other thread. This year in terms of TWC is starting to die. And what the freak is with PM Edition in the AM? :furious: Can't they just change it to AM Edition or something??
A&B won't be the same anymore. Well, I know Steph and Mike will be working together still (:)), but I guess the name and possibly the music package won't be the same (I have the song recorded up on my computer and on my cellphone!) Dang...I'm starting to hate the new schedule. And what's up...I don't see Evening Edition??? Now this is bad.
Oh, man... first the layoffs, then the schedule change, what's the next bad thing now? No! don't tell me! :run:

I dont understand why TWC is doing this. Could somebody fill me in as to how this is helpful for TWC overall? The current schedule made each show seem unique. To me I would think that would be a good thing since each time the average person would look at TWC it would seem like new or different programming.
-
My friend is not gonna like this, and me neither.
It's not helpful at all. Now my TV viewing at 4:00 my time isn't the same anymore.
:run:
-
I just emailed Jeff Meilcarz, I wanna make sure these changes are true, I'll see what happens.
They need to keep A&B and Evening Edition to make The Weather Channel worth while, or at least create a new evening show.
This is ridiculous, I'll let everyone know what he says, If he is even allowed to give out the information.
-
According to my contact - TWC employees haven't been notified of the specific changes yet, only that "something" is going to change.

i disagree, AB needs to go...EE was a well rated program...and clearly NBC is retarded. just throwing that out there.
-
Oh, well hopefully he'll give a response to this.
wikipedia says this:
February 2009 started with layoffs of four OCMs at the channel; midway through the month, it was discovered by members to a TWC fan forum and a leak on the TWC media kit that The Weather Channel was shaking up the schedule radically, including canceling Evening Edition, Abrams & Bettes: Beyond the Forecast, Forecast Earth, and Sunrise Weather, dramatically changing Weather Center and turning sections of it over to Abrams & Bettes, and replacing the overnight hour on weekends with one branded as PM Edition between February 21 and March 1. It had already been announced that Storm Stories was to return as part of a Tornado Week. The program changes are some of the most far-reaching since 2003, which saw the creation of programs such as Day Planner and Weekend Outlook.
-
I'm starting to see the end of A&B now. :cry3:

No, everything past 7 ET hasn't been propagated yet; those fields are blank.

Maybe A&B are taking over the 7-10pm block, and Paul, Jim, and Alex are taking over the 10pm-1am block... This also has me thinking.... Could there be a new slogan or a relaunch in the works too? :thinking: Again, this is PURE SPECULATION, NOT FACT!

It worked for me. Try this one. It kinda shows you the video in full screen.
We shall also mourn the incoming end of A&B as well... :cry3: The Grand Finale, I should say is on February 27th (or at least that's what wikipedia says. I don't trust that too much.)
-
The only reason to why I think the weather channel may relaunch is because they haven't shown their "weather never looked so good" slogan since August....
Thats what happened whenever the "bringing weather to life" slogan switched over, they took the whole slogan itself off air for months prior to the HD relaunch.
-

They just relaunched last June. They're not going to have another relaunch until at least several years from now. :no:
-
Jeff replied saying that he can't release info until it becomes known to the public....I figured that would be the case. :pinch:
He said however that we'd know soon.

Yeah I didn't even know that slogan was the actual one. I kept on thinking it was Bringing Weather To Life

Its funny the "weather never looked so good" was kinda ripped off from Viz Weather.

Well, if anything they should split the 2 shows and cancel day planner
go straight from ywt to weather center, then evening edition.

EXACTLY. :itsok:

Yeah pretty much.
Out of all the shows they should axe, it should be day planner, and pm edition.
keep Abrams and Bettes, and Evening Edition.
so yeah basically 2003 again, except with Abrams and Bettes.

I don't even think it's that
I don't think people understand viewers. Just because you like the show, does not mean the other 80 million+ viewers like it. I think Gary just recently mentioned that earlier in this thread, or in another one. People have to understand that we are a small percentage...VERY SMALL percentage, of all TWC viewers.
I don't know why they'd change Evening Edition. But, we'll just have to wait and see what these changed will bring.

Zap2It is listing EE on March 1. However, the Weather Center takes over on Monday.
-
zap2it isn't going past 3/2 7pm yet afaik. We have to wait and see.
-
zap2it isn't going past 3/2 7pm yet afaik. We have to wait and see.
It'l probably say it next week...because right now it's a little early to tell.
-
Now Zap2It is showing WC with A&B as being a three-hour program until 10 PM ET, after which regular Weather Center runs for the entire night until First Outlook. There's no long-form at night shown whatsoever.
I'm still finding this hard to believe; we'll see if it changes over the next two weeks.
-
They should at least call the 10pm-12a show "weather center tonight" :lol:
cuz i think of weather center being an afternoon show.

:rolleyes: hahaha I'm used to the eastern times.
-
Well, First Outlook starts at 1am on the West Coast.
Thats ridiculously early. Think about Hawaii, they're 5 hours behind!
Your Weather Today starts at 2am there. lol, and First Outlook starts around 11pm the previous night.
And to answer anybodies question, Yes Hawaii does have the weather channel among some customers. :yes:
there is no possible time to support show names with the times they play without everyone being affected in some sort of way, yah know?

Hawaii has TWC?? I didn't know that.
And since I live in the west coast, I have seen FO a couple of times...when I stayed up so late until 3 AM at times.
-
Yeah, some of them got TWC last year I believe, either right before or right after they switched to HD. :yes:
And like another example...
sunrise weather starts at 430 ET but west coast time starts at 1:30...
by then the sun isn't rising for another 3 1/2 hours. :bleh:
-
Heck, Sunrise Weather isn't on at sunrise for anyone. (except for the east coast near the summer solstice)

yup...by 7:00 when I wake up for school, Day Planner is on.
-
Hawaii has had TWC for a number of years. Dan once posted videos of Hawaii's 4000 from 1998(ish, sans radar, since at the time they didn't have one).
-
As I understand it, TWC in Hawaii went away during the early part of this decade, but they were brought back at the start of either 2007 or 2008 - can't remember which.

Hawaii has had TWC for a number of years. Dan once posted videos of Hawaii's 4000 from 1998(ish, sans radar, since at the time they didn't have one).
The doppler radar was used for government purposes in Hawaii, right? So, did they have a "Local Radar Unavailable" message in the 4000, or did it have a flavor that did not include the local radar?

Had to had been at least 2007. IIRC, Derek posted pictures of the Hawaii IntelliStar from Summer 2007. The 4000 indeed had no radar, but I'm not sure if that's still the case with the IntelliStar.

Yeah, I'm still having a tough time believing this schedule change.. :no:

If my memory serves me correctly they substituted the radar from Washington (State).
I understand that Steve. My point was, yes they have TWC, and no its not necessarily a recent phenomenon. :biggrin:
-
Gary's right. The 4000's radar came from Washington state.

Any ideas if Paul, Jim and Alexandra will be hosting Weather center at 10? :hmm:

One can only hope. We have to wait and see what they say next Friday.

I highly doubt anyone will be moving from their shifts. Just take A&B, Evening Edition, and slap on the Weather Center graphics. That's all I see happening in this change.
-
they'll most likely change the weather center graphics and give it more of an evening feel.

What the hell? Three straight hours of long-form? <_<
-
I really think one hour a day ought to be a maximum for these long-form shows. One hour a week would be far more desirable like what they did back in the 90's.
-
I agreee. Three hours is nuts. :rolleyes:
-
The Forecast Earth show is gone, so that's one good thing about this schedule.
I can't imagine TWC getting good numbers with excessive reruns of FFN/ICHT/WWCH.
-
Guess what,
Now anyone would bet they would not care to watch TWC long-form block between 2-5 on the weekends
Definitely not me :thumbdown:
-
I really hope they don't touch the weekday morning schedule...if they mess with First Outlook or Your Weather Today I swear to God....and I was just thinking, did TWC make the show opener graphics or did they hire a company? I know HotHaus Creative made the EE opener, so could they possibly be losing money if they scrapped the show openers for A&B, EE, WO, etc?(if they were made outside TWC)
-
More importantly...why the hell is Sunrise Weather still on when the damn sun don't shine?

So there's more or less nothing but long form starting at 8PM. :rolleyes:
-
Looks like TWC lost a long time viewer :censored:
-
there is no way I'm watching The Weather Channel anymore with long form on all the time.... :censored:
-
I'm considering not watching TWC as well! I restarted watching it in June 2 of last year, but now TWC is going downhill
-
I'm considering not watching TWC as well! I restarted watching it in June 2 of last year, but now TWC is going downhill. <_<
I agree with you :yes:, but IMO, it's already went downhill in last October because that stupid lower bar :thumbdown: (NOT the blue LDL) thingy (that display weather conditions) Was added during that time, and I'm still sick of it.
-
What exactly is TWC relying on for their ratings? There's no way even the average viewers can plan their week watching long-form during the primetime hours. That's when people want to know the weather for the next day!
-
TWC might have had no choice. They don't have that many OCM's in the weekend evening slots.
-
I just had the most brilliant idea, maybe if they STOP laying off ocms they won't have to resort to doing this, I know the economy has had some influence in those lay offs, but I think they should have been planned out more effectively. There's no way they are going to have any good ratings on weekends. How do they expect people to know the forecast if they can only see it every 30 minutes with that kind of schedule? I can wait for the local news to show a weather forecast instead. Weatherscan could pull in higher ratings than that schedule and it's not even available to everyone as TWC is.
-
Well, SnowManiac, I'm afraid even the economy left TWC no choice but to starting laying off OCM's. I do agree that some better planning could have been done to prevent this from happening, but it appears to be way too late now. :no:
Here's a thought: If TWC wants to cut back on time with live weather coverage, why not just put in more time for the Local on the 8's and even their normal commercials until they find new OCM's for the weekend slots? I remember local forecasts that lasted longer than three minutes each time. It would make TWC look more like Weatherscan, which may not be great, but it's better than going through 8 1/2 hours of long-form programming per day!
-
An hour of long form programming on weekends is fine, but to show hours of it back to back again and to hear about a boy getting a hole blown into his favorite shorts from lightning doesn't help me figure out when's the next chance for rain is coming.

I don't think no one will be watching three straight hours of FFN, ICHT or WWCH. It's either show new episodes or just find new OCMs to fill in the weekend slots. It's all messed up now.
Or here's another thought, they should put the three hours of FFN, ICHT, or WWCH in the overnight hours. My opinion, though. :hmm:

What are storm sessions? Is it Q&A with OCM's or more long-form programming?
-
What are storm sessions? Is it Q&A with OCM's or more long-form programming?
Storm Session this time is a 1 hour program where meteorologists Jim Cantore, Mike Bettes, Stephanie Abrams, and the expert in the subject (this time it's Dr. Greg Forbes) discuss the upcoming tornado season. It is usually aired only for one week. Depending on how you look at it, it's more of a documentary than a long form program.

It's the former Q&A with OCMs. TWC did this a few months ago, before.

It's really good though, and worth watching...especially the hurricanes session. Can't wait for the tornadoes session.

The only reason i will watch TWC again is to record the Overnight list for all of you :thumbsup:
-
ooh ok.
-
Tonight's the final 2 hour weekday edition of Evening Edition. Make sure you all watch! :thumbsup:
-
Why OCM's are getting layed off, and why there is more programming, as stated earlier, is all because of money that TWC obviously doesn't have. It is cheaper to run non-live programming, which is probably why you are seeing a LOT of long form programming. Hiring OCM's will not help the cause one bit. If they just layed off OCM's, why would they hire more? :dunno: It's a shame that this is what it has to come to, but I guess we;ll just have to live with it.
Also, one of you mentioned "How are they going to get viewers with these hours?" Maybe the hours that they have the long form programming, are hours when TWC gets the least amount of viewers? That would be very logic to me, but it could be for other reasons. I would say those slots have low ratings. :yes:

Correct. Natalie Allen is still at The Weather Channel, thus the Eco Update segments will continue.
-
As well, when the economy improves the media will be talking about global warming again, thus Forecast Earth will likely return.

I'm not dismissing global warming as I feel that it's a significant concern, but TWC should just stick to the weather. If there's a major storm coming, do you think anyone wants to tune in only to find Forecast Earth or some Eco Update segment airing at that moment?

I don't expect FE to return. If it does, I'll be very surprised. Have you ever seen any other TV show return after being yanked?

Weekend View is just like what Weekend Now was back in 2001-2003.
I still don't dig Sunrise Weather. Even 1/2 hour of long-form programming is better.

It's been changing a little bit... There's now more personality and such, plus now there's twitter segments! B)
-
Abrams & Bettes didn't need TWC's special segments to make it a good show; after the relaunch, they made the show interesting through their own improv and humor. It actually seems TWC is trying to return the show to it's original format; I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. I hope it doesn't become too forced. :(

I don't know. But I DO know that he works for TWC< and has many insider connections there including the OCM's themselves, and management, as far up the ladder as Deborah Wilson.
Your walking a very fine line Tyler. That perennial chip on our shoulder is starting to bloom again. Your VERY close to being banned AND blocked permanently from this site and forum. I'm trying to leave you out of the issues with TWCC, but your making it increasingly difficult.

A&B confirmed themselves they're going to be 7-10pm starting next week via twitter, so I guess this makes it official. B)

Nothing new though, it was like this for a short time after the June 2nd relaunch too (remember during the week we only had long-form from 2-3PM and 3-4AM).

Oddly enough on their blog they said "Starting Monday, March 2 (this upcoming Monday) Abrams and Bettes is going to 3 hours, 7-10pm ET!" From the way thats worded it sounds like the show name itself was going to those hours. I guess they didnt want to go into details about the name change :hmm:

Vivian Brown :blink: Seriously? :blink: :blink:
its probably an error. For me today, it says "Weather Center" Vivian Brown...etc.., even though Betty and Sam usually host..It's probably just an error in the program that assigns the show names and descriptions in the guides...they still havent removed Marshall from my "Your Weather Today" guide bar lol
-
We have confirmation on the show name now... It's going to be "Weather Center" lol

Cool they responded to my tweet about that :P Shame though WC: With Abrams and Bettes atleast would make it unique.
My TV guide also confirms that "Weather Center" will air next Monday from 7-10 PM with Stephanie Abrams and Mike Bettes. Another 3-hour block of "Weather Center" will air from 10 PM to 1 AM with Vivian Brown. My guide only goes out 7 days, so I can't access Tuesday morning yet. It's nice to know that you heard from the source itself!

It's probably pulling the "Weather Center" usual info, which used to be hosted by Vivian Brown and Nick Walker....

I hate long form.... if we're dealing with a Severe Weather Outbreak, they'll have to switch over more often to off-schedule program. :yes:

That will actually become less common now that we've seen seven OCMs get laid off the past few months.

Yeah true. If anything; they oughta go back to the Severe Weather Update by the STAR system.

My cable guide for Weather Center now has this description - "Tomorrow's forecast; recap of weather stories from around the world."

That's the same description for Weather Center that Tribune Media Services (tvguide, zap2it, tivo, etc) gives for the non-A&B Weather Center now.

That description came from my Comcast guide.

Some boxes are a TV Guide solution, and others might have the ubiquitous TMS service.
For what it's worth, our TMS-supplied guide data has never changed...though EE does show every Wednesday now. It's really wrecked...First Outlook, YWT, WeatherCenter in 3 hour increments (except for EE 9-10 on Wed.), The Weather Classroom. Last updated 2001, I'd think. The Zap2It guide (also a TMS supplied service) is current with long-form shows. (It does have the old logo for the channel logo, though.)
With EE exiting stage left on Sunday, it'll be really out of whack.

My Motorola box uses TV Guide. I have no idea what guide my SA box uses (it has a different, plainer interface). On TWC, my SA just says "Weather Channel" all day. My Motorola shows the actual show titles.
-
I long for the days of my old SA cable box. The Motorola cable boxes and the TV Guide listings are not dependable. The listings on the SA box were almost always accurate.

Alright ladies and germs, tonight is the final Beyond the Forecast branded A&B at 7pm, followed by the last weekday prime time version of Evening Edition at 10pm. Set your DVRs!
-
*cries*
And Mike will be back today.
We shall honor Beyond the Forecast. :worship:
-
The Storm Stories bumper is now saying weekends at 8 which makes you think :thinking:
-
I'll be sure to record this. I'll really miss it.
-
Agreed Ana, we shall honor Beyond the Forecast! :worship:

I just saw a Weather Center preview with Abrams and Bettes. Only thing basically changing in the graphics is the logo, otherwise, I think they're still using the same graphics. From what I can tell by the preview.

Yes, that's true. The formula of the show also looks to be reverting to something like it was in 2006 with all the special features and whatnot.
-
Grr they took the good shows out! :club:
However after seeing this http://www.weather.com/tv/schedule/?from=secondarynav#weekly (http://www.weather.com/tv/schedule/?from=secondarynav#weekly), i feel better. However, I have that feeling they didn't update this yet.
Hopefully the TVG screwed up.

unfortunately I think it is the TWC page that is screwed up, like you said, I have a feeling they didn't update it. I don't like it either, EE and A&B were great shows...even if A&B was getting poor ratings why make such a drastic change?
-
Heather Tesch will be doing Sunrise Weather and Weekend Outlook tomorrow (Sunday)! Make sure to record and watch! :yes: :yes: Any of all support for her is welcome.
-
As someone who is forced into watching WO (which still cuts off the K FWIW), this will be a MUCH needed facelift for my morning.
/7AM work call sucks.
-
According to the Zap2It guide, this will be the last Weekend Outlook, to be replaced by an early edition of Weekend View next weekend.
-
My guide shows 5am, 7am, and a 9am 2 hour Weekend View blocks for next weekend... :dunno: :dunno:

My TiVo has Full Force Nature on Wednesday (3/4) at 3:30 listed as new, with an original airdate of 3/4/2009... :blink: I'm curious to know if it's new... Here's the info it gives me:
"Hurricane" Weather (2009) A man rides out Hurricane Katrina; commercial fishermen face the fury of Hurricane Claudette."

I remember before the days of Weekend View when it was just the old version of Weekend Now which lasted from 2000 to 2003. Then it changed to Weekend Planner from 2003 to 2005. During the old version of Weekend View (2000-2003) when they had 4 meteorologists, the overall shift was from 5AM-11AM. The way they broke the 4-meteorologist team down was one pair from 5AM-7AM, another pair from 7AM-9AM, and the pair from the 5AM-7AM shift would eventually come back from 9AM-11AM.

Hope everyone enjoys evening edition for the last time tonight :)

So, Jim Cantore is now on YWT.
Which makes me believe Paul and Alexandra are still on Evening Weather Center

yep, most likely they'll do the show without him tonight, as he's doing field work today...
-
Jim Cantore is a part of the YWT team now, he's gone from the shift formerly known as Evening Edition.

A&B is now overriding EE!! :yes: :no:
That TVG could get a Phd in screwing up TWC's listings!

My extreme o meter comment was on weather center tonight,
only got a few second clip of what was a little longer than 20.
if anyone has video, i'd love to have that part :)
thank you

I wouldn't be surprised if these segments phase out over the next year or so. Look at what happened to Weekend View - that started falling apart after Stephanie left. A&B also started going downhill in early 2008 when they got rid of many segments such as the Audience Barometer, etc. First Outlook also had a lot of individuality (including it's own professional set!) but a lot of its special features were gone not long before the HD relaunch. It was even more unique before 2003. Same with Weekend Now. The list goes on...
It seems that a show always starts out great and unique, but then it just starts falling apart. Go figure.
-
To tell yall the truth, I think A&B had an upgrade!!! I am lovin all the segments. Especially the Weather Stumper and the Extreme-o-Meter. Mike thinks 8 1/2 is high. Whatever, dude. :P

well I mean, like I said, nothing in the show has realy changed, cut the "presentation" I think seems to have changed, or at least the quality....and the anchor changes dont help either....I dont like it nearly as much without Marshall and soon, Heather....I just like the Your Weather Today from 2000-2006 much better is all...I didnt explain too well the first time :happy:
-
I really like the new change especially to A&B. I'm glad they brought a lot of segments back, because I missed the audience barometer after they took that off, so this deffinetly makes up for that. :D

But no planner and forecast segments = fail.

Don't apologize Patrick. Al had no right to cock an attitude like that. Sometimes he really rubs me the wrong way.

Weather Center really started in 1998. I'm guessing they took that concept from ESPN's Sportscenter.
