So I looked at my TV Guide tonight, and starting at 4:30 am, a new show called Sunrise Weather is suppose to start on The Weather Channel. It's a 30 minute show. Anyone know anything about this? :thinking:
-
There's discussion about this in the "New Schedule to come June 2nd" thread under Programming. It was supposed to start last week, but Hanna prevented that. Now Ike is doing the same this weekend. It's quite reminiscent of what Ophelia and Rita did to Weekend View in 2005, pushing that debut back two weeks.
-
It's weird that they're starting a 30 minute show on the weekend early in the morning.
They should cancel Weekend Outlook.
-
Ya think they're going to show "Sunrise Weather" Sunday morning, or will they be in full Ike mode?
-
I'm going to record just in case. I think whether or not they do long-form overnight will be a good indicator of whether or not there's a chance of Sunrise Weather starting. If there's no long-form, it will probably just be a three-hour WO with two anchors for the whole thing, just like last weekend.
-
From the way things look at this point, Sunrise Weather will start Saturday.
Eventually I think they'll cancel weekend outlook and have sunrise weather as their "early morning show" for the weekends.
kind of sounds like the name of a weather channel segment if you ask me. :yes:
-
I can't see TWC having Sunrise Weather on weekends. Doesn't make sense. The sun rises during the week too, not just on weekends...
-
true, and the sun doesn't rise at 4:30. :lol:
-
Well, today, Sunrise Weather opener at 4:30, yet with Weekend Outlook graphics, theme, and set colors with Ray Stagich hosting... interesting...
ps: I know I'm bumping a thread, but it's relevant! I swear! :yes:
-
It's not bumping unless it's done solely for attention.
Anyway, the opener graphic is pretty interesting; it would be nice to see an entire show spun out of this, but logistically, it seems quite odd.
-
Unless they were to air this on weekdays too, this show is pointless. As I said in an earlier post, the sun doesn't rise just on weekends, plus in most areas the sun doesn't rise until after 5AM even during the summer, and after 6-7AM during the winter. Thus, it makes no sense to air such a show at 4:30 am on weekends only.
-
That sure looks like an interesting open. But, I doubt we'll see a whole show come out of this. As others have said, it just makes no sense.
-
I like it. :)
does anyone have a video?

I like it. :)
does anyone have a video?
pick a weekend outlook 4:30am broadcast. That's pretty much what it is right now.

Here's the opener:

Here's the opener:
I LOVE THAT MUSIC! :D Hopefully later, we can get a longer cut. :yes:
Thanks for posting the opener, Billy! :)
-
I'm thinking it's just production music; they've used a different music track every single day so SW so far
(SW = Sunrise Weather, finally a new show abbreviation! :P)
-
Can anyone ID the music?
-
anyone else think the opener would've fit in well with the 2003-2005 weekend graphic package?
the line going through "sunrise" kinda reminds me of that era.
-
It's most likely unavailable production music, just like the themes to the other shows in the current era.
That theme is okay, but it does not go good with the opener, nor does it sound that "morningy" like the other morning shows do.
-
1. Yeah, I was thinking the same thing about it seeming fresh out of the 2003-2005 era.
2. That's doubtfully the actual theme music; it seems like production music.
-
Why is this in TWC|HD anyways? Is this show available in HD only?

No, it should probably be moved to the Everything Else TWC board or the Programming board.
-
Done and done. :biggrin:
-
Power of the mini-admin. Absolutely NONE!
-
It seems they changed the theme for Sunrise Weather yet again...
EDIT (4:41am): They just played the music for First Outlook as a segment opener for Sunrise Weather :club:
-
Yeah, for the opener, they used the slow, light version of the weekend morning theme. Today also saw the use of the transitional effects going to and from break. The wall divider graphic also looks pretty sweet - better than the Weekend Outlook theme, IMO. HD videos to come when I find the time.
The graphics are honestly nice enough for a high quality show; I really wish they would find some direction and maybe do something with the show; its current timeslot makes no sense.
(Giving it actual consistent theme music would help, as well.)

Okay, here we go with the clips...

Hopefully the file names speak for themselves. ;)

If, for some reason, First Outlook were to go down the drain, I could definitely see Sunrise Weather taking it's place. :yes:
