TWC's Retro 8s Live

Not surprised they decided to take it off, rumor has it this was not intended to be a long term thing.

Actually, I think it lasted longer than TWC planned. Still a Loss in my Book though.

Definitely not surprised. First rumor I heard was that it was meant to stop airing at the end of July.

Why wouldn't they want to expand on it & do it maybe earlier in the night 3-5am? Is this abt seperating themselves from old school TWC? NBC did enough of that.

Unfortunate that they got rid of it.

Looks like in celebration for National Retro Day (as of posting, that is today), The Weather Channel has brought back Retro 8's Live!

From what I have observed, this has been airing all-day right either before commercial breaks or at the end of programming, rather than dedicating an entire hour-long timeslot to it. The English version of Twilight has also made a return (as mentioned in a post below this one), which is also pretty interesting to hear.

I'm not sure if this will last for just today or if there are plans to have it continue airing in the future (although I highly doubt it, maybe unless it's another Retro Day), but regardless it's quite interesting to see it (and Twilight) again, especially at much earlier times! (9:05 PM EDIT: Going off the wording of this tweet made earlier today, it sounds like Retro 8's Live has finished airing. I do wonder if it will return in the future though.)

I am wondering if this has been airing all day today. I didn't see it at all until about a half hour ago.

There's really no reason TWC can't bring this back!  They already use the Twilight Live software as they go to Commercial in the Afternoon.   TWC just needs to commit to Retro 8s and Twilight Live!


I barely watched TWC today! I didn't even know it was National Retro Day!

Just saw it cue again. Very brief and seems to only happen before commercial breaks. I saw a PM Snow Showers icon used, which as far as I know was never used during the original 2023 run.
