Since I get the schedule a week in advance on DirecTV, I decided to check in on the schedule for June 2nd, and as it turns out, the schedule is looking a little different; apparently long-form is taking a step back and being relegated to FFN/ICHT at 2 PM ET and 3 AM ET. Apparently Abrams & Bettes will become a two hour show from 7-9, EE will run in its usual slot, and Rich & Sharon will "do that" an hour earlier at 11 PM ET. EEWC will still run for two hours and be rebroadcast at 1 AM ET to make way for the aforementioned FFN/ICHT block at 3 AM ET. Apparently nothing will change for the weekends.
TV Guide also confirms this new lineup and shows the same lineup for the week afterward. Why they wouldn't air HD long-form when they're trying to promote TWC|HD, however, is beyond me and also casts a slight shadow of a doubt as to whether or not FFN/ICHT would really air every day.
-
Wow, no primetime long-form programming during the week? That's a plus. So I guess Storm Stories will be discontinued?
-
Unless new episodes of FFN and ICHT were produced, that schedule has to be wrong, IMO. Though, I'm loving how EEWC will air an hour earlier (giving love to west coast viewers), and A&B is being extended. :yes:
-
If this schedule holds true, last night was the final night of weekday long-form programming. They're preempting tonight.

This is bad how........? We've always complained about live weather being cut away for recorded programs, and now that they've (TWC) finally woken up and listened to us, were complaining that the long-form programs are disappearing! I don't get it! :wacko:
Where does Steve say the preemption/new schedule is bad? :huh:

I know Steve didn't say it anywhere. As I read this thread in general, some of the comments are good (in favor of new schedule) and some are bad (not in favor). Sorry, for the nonspecific post....I just deleted it. :blushing:
-
I think we're all in favor of a new schedule with less long form!
Although once the new season of WWCH starts, those episodes will probably air on weekdays again.

Like I said, I miss understood it.
You're probably right though about WWCH. Anything good on TWC only lasts for a short time anyway! :sunglasses:
-
Wow, I am excited! :twothumbs:
-
Yeah, I saw the new schedule on my TV Guide as well. I'm upset that they'll be playing ICHT and FFN more often now. I don't really care for those shows, It's bad enough that Forecast Earth is shown like 5 times a day with the same episode. It'll get old fast. They need to keep Storm Stories if anything...
:unsure:
-
Another minor schedule change on monday, the 2PM airings of ICHT and FFN are being replaced by an additional hour of weather center.
-
Yay!!!!!!!!!!
-

You have got to be kidding me. That's the best news!
-
Sweet!
Aren't they going to need more OCMs to pull off all these hours?
-
You would certainly think so. :unsure:
-

Wow, that's great! :D
As far as the OCM schedule, I'd say it would be the same as it was from 2006-2007.
-
Here's how I'd think it will work.
Team 1: 10am-1pm
Team 2: 1pm-4pm
Team 3: 4pm-7pm
(All times Eastern.)
-

Moving Betty and Sam straight from Studio 1A to the HD studio back to back might be rough, though.
-
Good point. The same thing would happen if Day Planner and Weather Center were to become HD during different times.
Shouldn't Weather Center start at 1PM again? I find no need to have four hours of Day Planner anymore now that the 2PM long-form block is discontinued.
-
They should bring back Afternoon Outlook! (I'm saying this half kidding, half seriously)
Edit: or at the very least, they should revert to the 06-07 schedule with PME being 3 hours...
-

If AO came back, then they WOULD need more OCMs. ;)
-
Now this is REALLY interesting. I just saw a commercial on TWC here at 10:37 AM ET. It showed ICHT at 2 PM ET then FFN at 3 PM ET. Has the afternoon long-form blok been extended to two hours or was the commercial just wrong? <_<
-
Really? I hope this doesn't mean PME starts at 4PM, and Weather Center is gone...

According to Comcast's interactive guide Weather Center is on from 2-5 today. :unsure:
-
All of the guides I've checked also have WC 2-5. We'll just have to wait and see what the schedule really is...
-
The guide on the cable box we have downstairs claims "WeatherCenter" is on TWC 24 hours a day. Apparently it has not been updated in about eight years. And if that's not bad enough, it still shows the old TWC logo.

Sure...

That's exactly the same guide I have on all of my cable boxes (only I have a different color scheme selected). :yes:
-
Cool. Cablevision has that same exact design to their guides too

I just saw this commercial. It looks new, so I'm guessing we won't see Weather Center for 3 hours after all. :(
EDIT: Wait, I just thought of something. It could be possible that the long form blocks are only 30 minutes long, meaning at 2 ET you would see ICHT, and at 2:30 ET you would see Weather Center, and the same thing for the next hour, only with FFN. We'll see how it all plays out in the next couple of hours...
-
I'd say you guys need new cable boxes or something. :blink:

Why? :unsure: I've had the same type of guide for years, even when I switched to a new cable box with DVR a few years ago.

As crazy as that seems, that could be the case. I remember in early 2007 when Epic Conditions premiered, they'd show Epic Conditions at 2:00 PM ET or 3:00 PM ET then have a half hour of Weather Center at :30.
-
Nick Walker just said they'll be back at 4:00 ET for Weather Center. Only 1 hour of Weather Center a day?!? <_< I hope this isn't permanent. :no:
-
No WC on now ...
Bullcrap if you ask me.
-
No WC on now ...
Bullcrap if you ask me.
Yeah, the afternoon longform programming has apparently been extended to 2 hours now, leaving only one hour of Weather Center. Unless this is only a Monday thing...
-
This is complete bullcrap. Complete bullcrap.
...and to think the accuracy of the schedule change on June 2nd led us to believe that this one would be just as good.
-
Whoa, I'm confused. :blink: So what is this new schedule? And only one hour of Weather Center? :unsure: Terrible! :whateva:
-
Now The Weather Channel's Ratings are starting to plummet as we speak due to the recent weather center changes :o
-
I can't believe this. :angry:
Would this affect the overnight programming too? (I don't think so)
I need to record overnight playlist clips and cannot wait 2 hours to watch some crappy show...
-

No, they'd rise. Apparently the average viewer doesn't like "hard weather" like what Weather Center provides. They like live reports like what Evening Edition provides. Thus why WC is shortening.
-
http://www.weather.com/interact/contactus/cableprogramming.html?from=contactus
I think everyone here owes it to themselves to ***** up a storm by using the assistance request form there. TWC needs to at least know that their changes aren't universally popular, especially considering that TWC is now essentially off the air during two big severe weather hours of the day.
-
I actually called TWC and left a message as to when WC airs. It makes no sense to have long-form programming air during this time of day.
-
*****
I'd like to buy a vowel. :lol:
Maybe this is just until everything gets moved into HD.
-
It could be permanent. remember we're not average viewers. The average viewer could care less if WC was 1 hour short or longer.
-
I don't really watch WC
-
Weather Center sure has shortened a lot over the years. It was not even five years ago when WC aired up to 13 hours a day, and now apparently it airs just one hour a day (at least during the week).

Done.
Dear The Weather Channel,
The addition of the 3 PM ET block of long-form programming on weekdays is a terrible decision. Having two straight hours with no live weather on The Weather Channel is just an absolutely horrible mistake.
People want to see the weather LIVE, not what would happen if a tornado struck some city or hear about some kid getting struck by lightning in his favorite pair of shorts.
Please remove at least one of the two afternoon hours of long-form programming.
Billy Miller
Was I too nice?
-
I like it. It's demanding, yet kind at the same time.
-
Good message Billy. :yes:
So let me get the new (terrible) schedule straight for the afternoon. All times are eastern.
2 PM to 3 PM: It Could Happen Tomorrow (two thirty-minute episodes)
3 PM to 4 PM: Full Force Nature (two thirty-minute episodes)
4 PM to 5 PM: Weather Center (only one hour)
5 PM to 7 PM: PM Edition
Is this correct? :unsure:
-

FFN has like 6 episodes, why show it OVER AND OVER AGAIN
-

Because they don't want to show Storm Stories or Forecast Earth.
-
Can't they show any older shows like Atmosphere?
-

Does Storm Stories even exist anymore? :unsure:
-
nope they took it off air...
-
Is TWC still considering syndicating Storm Stories?
-

I was thinking they'd bring Atmospheres back on the air after seeing how they put clips of the show on TWC's Bluebox website, but I guess not.
-
I just have a feeling that we may not be seeing that second hour of crap tomorrow. Lets hope enough people complained. Hey, it worked on May 7, 2007.
-
What happened on 5/7/07?
-
What happened on 5/7/07?
Vocal music on the local forecasts. :sick:
-
Did it last one night? /i thought it lasted for the first week of May.
-
Did it last one night? /i thought it lasted for the first week of May.
yeah. it lasted just a couple of hours.
-
I wish the two hour block would be used for local forecast purposes, but i bet that won't come true :hmm:
-
They have Wxscan. I don't think having a looping LF would be a possibility on TWC.
-

I know but if at least with the emergency feed with trammell starks on twc? because weatherscan is getting boring with the same MUSIC over and over change the playlist for once :furious:
-
Not to mention that not everyone gets Weatherscan.
-
I think that would send TWC down the tubes quicker than a two hour block of long form programming. :rolleyes:

Got a reply from Chris Hoitsma.
Hello Mr. Miller,
Thank you for contacting The Weather Channel Interactive.
I will forward your email message, expressing your disappointment with the
recent increase in long-form programming features on the network to our
producers and programming directors. Needless to say, it greatly concerns us
that this addition to our weekday afternoon programming line-up have
negatively impacted your TWC viewing experience.
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

Kind of seems like an automated/scripted reply to me.
-
Odd. I didn't get a response. :unsure:
-
Nah, that's probably an actual response. He was probably told to keep in constructive like that.
-
I'm torn on that response. On the one hand it DOES seem a bit scripted, but on the other hand it seems a bit better than some of the other responses you guys have posted around here. :P
-
Directv still shows WC running for 3 hours
-
Well, ICHT is on right now. Let's hope no long-form airs at 3PM, but I doubt.
-
Well, we have another episode of ICHT at 2:30 PM ET.
-
At least they don't show any more long-form until 3:00am. The evening hours are all live weather broadcasts.
-
Suggestion: Place "weather update" segments at the top and bottom of each hour of long form programming, like they did a few years ago after Atmospheres or Storm Stories (I think).
-
They did weather updates in times of severe weather during Storm Stories a few years ago.
-
FFN plays at 3 PM ET. <_<
-
Suggestion: Place "weather update" segments at the top and bottom of each hour of long form programming, like they did a few years ago after Atmospheres or Storm Stories (I think).
Yeah, I liked it when they did that. They showed a brief one minute national update, followed by a 1:30 LF. I believe they stopped doing this in June 2003, and instead displayed only a one minute LF.
-
I didn't get a response, either. I think Chris is honestly sick of me.
-

Let's use the L-Bar! :twothumbs: It could show both national and local information. :yes:
-
Yeah, they did updates at the top and bottum of the hour on Atmospheres.
-
Yeah, they did updates at the top and bottum of the hour on Atmospheres.
They also did it for StormWeek. I'm not 100% sure if they did it for Storm Stories though. I know for sure they did not do OCM updates after the XL's one minute flavors were modified in June 2003, but I'm not sure if they did the updates before that, though.

You're right. I forgot about Storm Week. Yea, I don't think they did it for Storm Stories. They just showed the Local On the 8's..and that's it... unless there was severe weather (IIRC).
-
No ICHT today at 2 PM ET. Instead we get Weather Center using the Day Planner lower thirds.
-
Bright move on TWC's part. :twothumbs:
-
I guess they responded to our complaints.
-
There might have been more complaints. Are they covering severe weather to pre-empt ICHT or are they putting in those two hours of WC?
-
They might just be pre-empting the long-form today. We'll see how it goes in the days to come, though.
-
Just got a reply from Chris. I think he misunderstood me. I told them about getting rid of the 3PM long-form, not just pre-empting it more often.
Hello Mike,
Thank you for contacting The Weather Channel.
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!
We are always happy to hear from our viewers and hope you will continue to
watch The Weather Channel for many years to come.

Now Betty and Samantha are hosting the 2 PM CT hour of Weather Center. Looks like we're seeing a schedule similar to pre-September 2006, where the Weather Center OCMs would host the first 2 hours of Weather Center, then the AO OCMs would take over for the 3rd hour, and the WC OCMs would return for the 4th hour.
-
Hmm, maybe they did remove the long-form programming. Usually if they were to pre-empt long-form, the PM Edition team wouldn't step in until 4PM ET.
-
Mike, that was definitely a canned message you got there; I got the exact same message verbatim during a severe weather outbreak in May. Here's what I got today...
Hello Steve,
Thank you for contacting The Weather Channel Interactive.

-
Weather Center is back on today at 1 PM CT, and there's no severe weather, either. (Yet I'm scared to get my hopes up)

If it is, then raising hell DOES get you somewhere. :whistling:
-
Whoa! Weather Center is on at 2 PM CT! :twothumbs: It looks like we're getting three hours of WC Center today! :cool3:
My only question: If Betty Davis and Kristen Dodd are doing Weather Center as of 2 PM, who's doing PM Edition? :unsure: Guess we'll just have to see!
-

It should be Betty and Kristin again. Nick and Vivian should be back for the 3 PM CT hour of Weather Center. This schedule is much like what Rich and Jeanetta & Jeff and Vivian used to do with Weather Center and Afternoon Outlook, just replace AO with PME and shift the schedule forward an hour.

Whoa, that's a confusing schedule. :wacko: So Nick and Vivian are on Day Planner from 12 PM CT to 1 PM CT then on for Weather Center at 1 PM CT until 2 PM then take a one-hour break. From 2 PM CT to 3 PM, Betty Davis and now Kristin Dodd are on. Then from 3 PM CT to 4 PM, Nick and Vivian are on again. And FINALLY, at 4 PM, the PME crew is on. Is that right?

Correct. It's not really confusing at all. The schedule is done that way so that both the WC and PME crew work 3 hours, and so that the WC don't have to work all 3 hours of Weather Center + the final hour of Day Planner. :yes:
-
At the end of Day Planner, Vivian reminded us that "Of course, it's not over. We're back at the top of the hour with Weather Center."
-
So I guess the long form has indeed been discontinued. If this is the case, then shouldn't Weather Center start at 1PM again? This way Nick and Vivian wouldn't have to host two shows, which is kind of odd IMO.
-
Still long form programming at 1 PM CT on weekends. <_<
-
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.

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.
<_<
-Chris
-
Yeah we're aware of that. :unsure:
-
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.
-
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. <_<
Oh great not again i can't stand those shows they should take off all long form programming all together and I'll fill in as the Meteorologist for those hours
-
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?
-
Yeah they're bringing back ICHT and FFN on 2 and 3pm. :sick:
-
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.
-

I'm with you on that...
-
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.

I already did earlier at around 3pm but im already on the ignore list as said by Kyle
-
I just saw an ad for the afternoon long-form block again today. Looks like we won't be getting three hours of Weather Center HD after all. :furious:
-
I think we need to send emails to TWC again. I don't see why we will just get one hour of Weather Center every weekday. To make matters worse, 3PM is when people get ready to leave work, and they want to know what the weather forecast is, not about the kid having his favorite shorts get ruined.
-
I think we need to send emails to TWC again. I don't see why we will just get one hour of Weather Center every weekday.
That's not going to work. Having a couple dozen people send eMails is not going to do any good. It would just be a waste of your time, unless "normal" (for lack of a better word) viewers are upset and decide to do the same.

I agree. And receiving letters over and over from the same people is probably going to upset them eventually.
-
We should all get proxies and pretend to be other people. :P
Although from talking to a few other folks, we're thinking (and hoping) that either Nick needs to rehearse more (since he's still shaky with the projector wall) or that the Weekend Outlook people need to rehearse. I guess we'll find out in the coming weeks. Of course, next week, we've got reruns of the special program Storm Session Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday at 2 PM ET, so maybe we'll see one hour of that followed by two hours of WC. Hopefully we'll get all three hours Monday and Wednesday, but again, you never know what to expect with TWC. :P
-
It looks like we're going to see some changes in the early morning hours next weekend.
The most significant change in the addition of a new show called ''Sunrise Weather'' at 4:30AM on Saturdays and Sundays. Does anyone have any info on this show? This is the first I've heard of it.
Also, it looks like half-hour episodes of When Weather Changed History will air at 4AM.

WTF more episodes of When Weather Bored Me to Death? Gosh, it'll be useless to record the overnight playlist then.

The most significant change in the addition of a new show called ''Sunrise Weather'' at 4:30AM on Saturdays and Sundays. Does anyone have any info on this show? This is the first I've heard of it.
Also, it looks like half-hour episodes of When Weather Changed History will air at 4AM.
Interesting. I just checked it out in zap2it.com. I can't say I've heard of "Sunrise Weather" before. I wonder if it will be a live program? And I wonder how the half-hour blocks of WWCH will work. Half the episode on Saturday, the other half on Sunday? :thinking:
Something about this just seems strange... :blink:
Edit: Just checked TV Guide, and it has WWCH running for an hour at 4 AM ET, then Weekend Outlook starting at 5 AM ET.
-
DirecTV's guide is also showing the half-hour WWCH in that timeslot with the 3:30 - 4 AM CT block currently blank; my guess is that Sunrise Weather will appear in that block on the guide before long. I wonder what the thinking behind this move is - yet another low-rated, poorly produced show?
-
Question: The sun absolutely does not rise at 4:30AM. Why would they name a show that airs at that time that name?
-
Hmm, that would be interesting. I figured they would keep the 4:30 timeslot for the apprentice OCM's to host solely.
-
Sunrise Weather has now popped up in the DirecTV program guide, but it doesn't show as being in HD.
-
So I take it there was no "Sunrise Weather" this morning?
-
Nope, just three hours of First Outlook branded as Weekend Outlook. I wonder if we'll see anything special Sunday morning with the main Hannah threat being out of the way.
-
Looks like "Sunrise Weather" could get delayed yet another week as Ike approaches this weekend.
-
Yeah, it looks like a Storm Alert weekend this time. :P
-
Nope, no Sunrise Weather. I wonder if the show is even real...
-

I'm thinking it's not real. Just checked TWCMediaKit, and there's no mention of it.
-
Yeah it's probably just a typo or something, much like how the schedule at weather.com had "Weekend Overnight" shown in the 4:30 AM timeslot awhile back.
-
Long-form today from 2-4P.
-
What now? Are they filming a special or something, or is it because the tropics are dead, and this will be the new norm during quiet tropical weather?
-
I bet it's to give people a break.
-
They should just put Betty and Sam on for four hours; they were off for the whole Storm Alert.
-
Indeed, Sunrise Weather does NOT exist. Weekend Outlook with Ray Stagich is on right now.

Dear TWC,
Every time the Challenger goes up, it blows up. Please show something else. Epic Conditions. WeatherVentures. Dave Schwartz dancing the riverdance. Just something else.
Thanks,

-
hahahahaha.
Dave Schwartz doing a rive dance, could you imagine??? :lol:
-

ROFL. Watching Dave do the riverdance would make my day. :rofl2: :rofl2:
-
Well, the two-hour long form block will continue this afternoon. <_<
-
More bad news, Next week When Weather Changed History will start airing 7 days a week at 9PM and 12AM Eastern. As A result, Evening Edition will now start at 8PM Eastern every day and Abrams And Bettes and PM Edition weekend will now air for just an hour.
-
what the heck is TWC thinking? :rolleyes:
-
so time out, so Evening Edition will be 8pm then stop for WWCH and then EE at 10 and 11 again? thats weird. :no:
-
Why have WWCH at 9PM and 12AM on weekdays? Those are the times when people plan their next day! 8PM and 11PM are better times IMO, since it's right after the national news and game show programming. I can't believe the "average viewers" can stand all of this.
-
Wow, this is a really silly setup. What the heck are they thinking?
-
They're not thinking. That has to be it. :P
-
They're not thinking. That has to be it. :P
Damn, I was going to quote you saying that :P.. Oh well.
But yes, that is stupid. So, only one hour of PM Edition AND Abrams and Bettes? :thumbdown:
-
PM Edition is still two hours long, from 5-7 PM. A&B however is back to being a one hour show.
-
Damn, I was going to quote you saying that :P.. Oh well.
But yes, that is stupid. So, only one hour of PM Edition AND Abrams and Bettes? :thumbdown:
Only one hour of PM Edition Weekend. Meaning PME on weekdays will not change from it's 2 hour slot. ;)

Gotchya.
I think A&B should stay two hours. That doesn't give Abrams and Betes much airtime at all.
-
Wow, this makes no sense at all? Is it possible that the schedule is wrong? I mean, we haven't seen "Sunrise Weather" the past few weekends even though it is on most schedules, and there have been a few other schedule errors in the past, too.
-
Nope, I'd say this is permanent. TWC's official schedule has WWCH at 9PM and 12AM. :( However, the schedule says the 3AM long-form block will be discontinued (both weekdays and weekends), as well as the 11PM and 1AM blocks on weekends. This means EE will air 8-9, 10-12, & 1-4 ET weekdays, and 10-12 & 1-4 ET on weekends (PME will still air at 8PM on weekends). I wonder if Steph and Mike will host the 8PM hour of weekday EE then? :unsure:
As for weekends, we may end up seeing three shifts of OCM's working from 2PM-4AM now instead of two because of the discontinuation of overnight long-form programming. Looks like this means we'll see various OCM pairings on Weather Center just like how it was pre-2005.
There's also no mentioning of ICHT and FFN from 2-4 PM weekdays, so that long-form block can't be permanent.
-
They already started preparing this weekend by having three shifts, with the WWC shift being random, so yeah, that might be what happens.
-
Sunrise Weather is just a part of Weekend Outlook.
-
I'm posting this in two spots so kill me...
Well, today, Sunrise Weather opener at 4:30, yet with Weekend Outlook graphics, theme, and set colors with Ray Stagich hosting... interesting...
-
The style of the logo with the horizon makes me feel like I'm in 2003-2005 all over again... :wacko:
-
So....Sunrise Weather is essentially the first half-hour of Weekend Outlook?
-
Sunrise Weather thus far is basically the opener of the first half hour of Weekend Outlook, nothing more.

No kidding. :itsok:
