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? <_<
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...

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:

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.

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.

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.
