Oh, I am sure it will probably be during the morning show.  Morning Rush or Weather Center or whatever it's going to be called now.

What time of day do you guys think TWC will debut the new look?

My guess would be during Wake Up With Al at either 5:30am or 6am, other times to look at is during First Forecast at 4:30am and On The Radar at 5am or as Andy posted Morning Rush

A new broadcast day always starts at 4am for TWC, so I'm sure it's definitely around then. Back in 2010 when the last major update happened, the update was rolled out at around 3:45am ET.

Will WeatherScan's Icons remain unchanged?

Will WeatherScan's Icons remain unchanged?

Probably won't.

What I would do is show WATT during longform today and tomorrow, since longform is extended now, and go full out Monday at 8PM ET. There won't be any more Live Programing after WCL until First Forecast(are those still the right names?) Tues morn. I understand if the set and the in house graphics aren't show ready, but WATT must be ready by now!

Do y'all think the new LF will debut on the 12th too?

Well, TWC has already announced that is will be unveiling the new graphics on the 12th (which is Tuesday), so I think they're going to stick to that.

Do y'all think the new LF will debut on the 12th too?

I would think (and hope) so.  It would make sense to unveil everything at the same time.

Has TWC made any official comments on the new schedule starting on the 12th and the reason for the reduction of live hours and or has anyone written about them?
It started today as WCL is not on at 4pm or 7pm. They are still doing live shows at 10pm and 1am this weekend.

I can understand not doing shows at 10pm and 1am but I still think they are making a mistake having no live shows after 2pm on weekends.

Getting back on topic.
Kelly posted a photo on Friday and the large circular thing to the left of the video wall is going to display video.

Is that desk that guy is sitting at giving a thumbs up the new anchor desk, or some "side desk"?  I thought I remember Jen saying that the anchor desk was going to be in the middle of the studio again (perhaps the same desk), but I don't think it's been installed yet, has it?

From the 360 photo posted, http://360.io/77WuQp,  it seems like that desk is the main desk and is going to always have the video wall behind it. There is going to be a side desk to right for the experts and guests.

I've not seen any changes to the left and right side walls and wonder if they are going to stay that way?
The area to the right of the green screen with the tropical background seems to have not changed.

The new WCL Opener/Graphics looks similar to the old Weather Center opener/graphics from the early 2000s if you look very closely.

Here's a response from Kim on FB about her new schedule, "I will still be seen during the week 7-8pm during the week and part of the local severe weather team on weekends and after 8pm."

I'm guessing "the local severe weather team on weekends and after 8pm" means that if there is a severe storm in a regional area after 8pm weekdays or 2pm weekends that TWC goes live to those areas on a alternate feed while everyone else stays on long form.
I hope this alternate feed does not require the IS2 to switch it on because my cable system does not have the IS2.
