New Schedule
« on: September 24, 2010, 10:12:59 AM »
Monday-Thursday

4-6AM: First Outlook
6-7AM: Al
7-10AM: Your Weather Today
10-11AM: Al
11-2PM, 2-5PM: Day Planner
5-7PM: 4 Storm Stories
7-8PM, 8-10PM, 10-11PM, 11-1AM, 1-2AM, 2-4AM: Weather Center

Friday:
Same until 7PM
7-8PM: Weather Center
8-9PM: When Nature Strikes Back
9-10PM: Tornado
---this three hour block repeats until 4AM Saturday

Weekend:
4AM: Weather Classroom
4:30AM: Sunrise Weather
5-7AM, 7-9AM, 9-11AM: Weekend View
11-2PM: Weekend Now
2PM: Storm Riders
2:30PM: Storm Stories
3PM: Sea Tek
3:30PM: Cantore Stories
4-5PM: PM Edition
--- the whole 2-5 PM block repeats until 4AM, except that Weatherproof replaces Sea Tek at 8PM (and repeats with the block) and Weather Center replaces PM Edition at 10PM and also repeats with the block

I think this is a very good schedule...especially the weekday.  5-7PM I would think that most people would get their weather on their local newcasts, so why bother with live programming then?

It makes alot of sense to put longform on 5-7pm Monday - Friday because thats when local news is on and that's what most viewers are watching between that time.

I honestly think this was a wise decision on TWC's part. We shall see how this pans out.

It is a good schedule change. Makes sense to put longform 5-7pm, because local news is going on then. They still could have shown more weather reports on the weekends, IMO.

Things that I noticed:

No PME on weekdays...?  :noexpression:

Day Planner on until 5PM....? It's DAY Planner, not EVENING Planner...

Where you have that DP will be on at 11-2 and 2-5, does this mean it will be recorded and replayed at 5? Same thing for Weather Center.


The least thing they need to do is make some show name changes to fit the schedule.
PM Edition could be Weekend Edition, or something like that.
Day Planner's 2nd show (if it is not going to be pre recorded) could be Evening Planner

Overall, I like the change :)

Could this be the answer from that question Nicole asked earlier? She mentioned "program changes" which got me thinking...

Overall, I am a bit satisfied on the schedule. Longform from 5-7 pm et? Love it. Most viewers are watching the news during those hours.

I like this schedule, especially weekdays. Although a six hour Day Planner is a little too much... not to mention its bright yellow and blue graphics are too bright for the latter half. With no more midday programming, this would be a great idea to move Weather Center back to middays. PME can then air from 7-10pm, then another show title for Paul and Nicole from 10pm-4am. :yes:

It's also nice now to only have as much as two straight hours of long-form programming at a time now. It hasn't been like this since the beginning of last year.

You know what this schedule also means? More exposure to the smooth jazz daytime playlist! :D Live programming airs during the entire daytime part on weekdays, and we also have another hour of live programming on weekends.

OK, from what Zach and Mike said, "Day Planner" from 2 PM to 5 PM is just not going to work out. :thumbdown: :nono: They need to have that segment be PM Edition. Once again, TWC is being dumb, but I guess the two-hour longform slot is alright for the average viewer (although I tend to watch TWC during that time. <_<)

The weekday format didn't bother me that much, it was the weekend format that drove me up the wall with the strings of pointless long form programming regardless of whether or not weather doesn't happen on the weekends according to TWC.  :P It's nice to see they added a little more live programming for the weekend and I gotta agree with Andy about the 2-5pm edition of DP, that should be PM edition, it's gonna be the same hosts anyway, it'll just be on 2 hours earlier.

Based on how news-oriented TWC has become (WUWA, of course), I'm surprised TWC hasn't tried competing with the local newscasts. I guess people want LOCAL news instead of national, and maybe NBC can't compete with itself. :thinking: :unsure:
