Hope for the best but prepare/assume the worst....it IS NBC  <_<
I'm skeptical of anything that disrupts the well formatted morning shows...especially my First Outlook  :thumbdown:

Would be great if every show got pushed forward an hour and we had one less hour of non-weather programming

Yeah, I can see YWT being aired from 8-11AM. The Today Show airs until 11AM anyway.

I think that would be a good idea. If YWT gets pushed back one hour, could Day Planner be shortened? I think four hours is too much.

I dont think any live TWC programming needs to be shortened.  :no:

Yeah, Day Planner can just air from 11-3. Or better yet, have DP air 11-2, long-form 2-3, then bring back either daytime Weather Center or Afternoon Outlook to air from 3-5. The first choice is more reasonable, though.

Ok, I know it's easy to get upset over a programming change such as this, especially considering A&B is up in the air.

But look at it, this way.

At least they picked Al Roker to co-host, and not Kathie Lee Gifford.

If you read Frank Batton's book, you might recall that NBC was interested in purchasing TWC in the mid 80s. TWC, however, wisely turned them down b/c they didn't agree with NBC's ideas for the channel. Now here we are with NBC having complete control over TWC. I don't have any proof, but I really believe that changes like this will continue. NBC "laid off" a bunch of people, so they could hire their own. And as for future programming changes, watch MSNBC to get an idea. I imagine that's where TWC is headed. "Personality" driven shows and long-form programming that has nothing to do with weather.

I read that book, and he was right  :yes:
MSNBC is such an abject failure...you know that when you hear people who helped jumpstart it say "If I knew what I know now I never would've jumped onto the movement." TWC is heading down the same road I believe, driven by NBC it can only lead into nothingness...and as for A&B, someone talking about it being up in the air, I found an image, which is shown in another thread, or Steph and Mike in front of a YWT graphic background. So I'm led to assume that they will take over the morning YWT shift...in that case, I can now call YWT dead, as its style has changed completely  :cry3:
