I went through Zap2it.com and the guide took me through Tuesday the 12 only up until 8pm. After 8pm no programming shows. But for the rest of the day it has Morning Rush starting at 7am, WUWA at 10am,  Day Planner at 11am, long-form starting at 2pm, then WCL at 5pm - 8pm. No new shows names yet. Maybe zap2it will update the show names as the day gets closer. Because I do know some show names are supposed to change.
Can you tell us which shows and the names?

Is Al leaving TWC? Wishful thinking I know, but really, how long is his contract?

Someone on here posted that Mike Bettes said that some live show names are changing. But Mike Bettes didn't say which ones.

4:00am-5:30am - Weather Center (replaces First Forecast and On The Radar)
5:30am-7:00am - Wake up with Al
7:00am-11:00am - Morning Rush (4th hour added from 10-11:00am, Wake up With Al repeat no longer airs)
11:00am-8:00pm - Weather Center (Day Planner and Afternoon long-form no longer air)
8:00pm-2:00am - Long-form programming

8:00pm-2:00am - Long-form programming
I hope that schedule's true! Sounds like a good trade off. I wont miss WUWA at 9/10AM! The only thing I'll miss is sometimes I would stop by WCL at 9/10PM but not every night. More so now because of the upcoming changes. If the schedule is true I don't think this is a big increase in longform. TWC may get more viewers at 2PM than at WCL at 12/1AM.

Zap2it doesn't say anything. Neither does my Comcast Channel Lineup? Maybe that hasn't updated yet?

TitianTV has some shows renamed and no extra live hours for the launch on the 12th.
The other guides still have the old show names though the schedule is the same.
Tuesday Nov, 12
4am-5:30am Weather Center.
5:30am-7am Wake Up With Al
7am-11am AM Rush
11am-2pm Weather Center
2pm-5pm taped programming
5pm-8pm Weather Center
8pm-4am taped programming

So we are losing WCL at 10pm and 1am weekdays. Most of the 1am show was a replay of 10pm.
It also appears we are losing WCL at 4pm and 7pm on weekeends.

I wonder what this means for OCMs like Kim and Danielle who were on WCL at 10pm and 1am.
Kim said she was not sure on the new schedule and they are still finding out details.

Honestly, I would be surprised if TWC puts live programming in the afternoon long form slot.  I mean, who is watching the channel then?  Your average viewer is probably at work.  As far as cutting live programming after 8 pm, that really screws over west coast viewers, as live programming now ends at 5 pm pacific time.  However, I think TWC is going to try to compete with other networks by showing series in prime time.  "Catch a new episode of [whatever], weekdays at 9pm!"

Plus, as previously mentioned, if the 1 am WCL was a replay of the 10 pm hour, then what's the point?  BTW, it looks like the renamings have the word "Live" cut from the WC name.

While I get that they want to have a prime time that is all taped programming they should at least do a live show at 1am ET for those up late that want a forecast and for those on west coast.

I also don't like no live weather shows 2pm-10pm on weekends if that is going to be the new weekend schedule.
They should at least do a live show at 5pm and or 7pm.

my Xfinity X1 Guide still says Highway Thru Hell 2pm-5pm on the 12th so i hope the guide update showing the changes comes very soon.

The TWC bug and text on this clip appear to come from the new graphics package and the TWC logo is no longer blue it's more of a green tint.

I wonder how these changes are going to effect the OCM's schedules.
As I mentioned in another thread  David Neal is now being used as an OCM. He has been working at TWC off air since March. Jennifer was on this afternoon and Kyla is on Thursday evening so they are still being used for fill-in shifts.

8:00pm-2:00am - Long-form programming

Well, it looks like this may only be a one day thing. Coast Guard Alaska is in the 2-5pm slot the following day. Perhaps they want to air extra live programming on the launch day to showcase the new set.

Also looks like the weekend of November 9-10 has all longform scheduled from 2 to 10 pm ET both days.

Damn, that's gonna suck.
