Still long form programming at 1 PM CT on weekends.
Doesn't bother me. I have more things to do on weekends that I don't have as much time to watch TWC. Plus, it makes sense to have more long-form on weekends anyway.

I think Chris Hoitsma is smoking something (kidding) because I just got sent this out of nowhere yesterday despite not having contacted TWC since last week.
Quote
I will forward your email message, expressing your frustrations with the lack
of severe weather coverage due to the airing of our long-form programming to
our producers and programming directors. When there are widespread outbreaks
of inclement or severe weather, our producers are given the option of
pre-empting any scheduled programming features or going live to Dr. Forbes in
our storm center. Hopefully, they will choose the later option more often in
the future!
- Hide quoted text -

We are always happy to hear from our viewers and hope you will continue to
watch The Weather Channel for many years to come.

Sincerely,

Chris Hoitsma
Solutions Center/TWC

As you can see, it's the same old canned response. I wonder if it was somehow accidentally sent out automatically.

 :) Last week, they took out the ICHT/FFN Hour at 2 PM EDT for weekdays only.

At 7:28am EDT I saw the ad for the ICHT/FFN 2-hour block. It looks like the afternoon long-form block is back. <_<

Perhaps Nick and Vivian are heading into final rehearsals for HD? They ran the long-form block the last time they had to rehearse.

Wait, I thought people disliked the long-form block at 2-4PM? I hope it's only temporarily. Why couldn't they have Bill and Kelly do Weather Center like they did early last month?

Because Bill was out in the field for Edouard coverage (he's probably heading back to Atlanta right about now), and Kelly was hosting Day Planner today. ;)

At the end of the 1 PM ET hour of Day Planner, Mike Seidel said ICHT would be next.

Like, this new schedule gives me a chance to sit here in, like, my favorite pair of shorts and watch Full Force Nature. It was like so freakin' cool. It was awesome.

:rolleyes:

I'm ready to send another Customer Service form saying how much better the three hours of Weather Center was and that I certainly hope this is a temporary change. I'm also going to mention how old and stale all this long-form programming is. I don't know if anyone else wants to also do so.
