Weather Center cut back, will appear on weekends; New LOT8s squeezeback

[Localonthe8s]

Can someone PLEASE explain to me why the average viewer prefers long-form over live weather? I just for the life of me don't understand it.

It's the corporations' way of dumbing down Americans. It's terrible that people in this country prefer this garbage over educational, informative shows that TWC showed back in the 90's. TWN up in Canada is nowhere near this bad in terms of the longform and the content the viewers want to see.

Thank goodness for public broadcasting.  Granted, that won't fill the niche that cable networks once had (in the far distant past by this point), but, still, PBS, NPR, and PRI are generally very good at avoiding the "dumbing down" process.  I think kids' programs on PBS were a LOT better 20-something years ago, but maybe I'm biased.

I'd laugh if TWC had to preempt regular programming the day TWC Primetime premieres.

Or the first week. That'd be nice.

It's amazing how Americans have completely different point of views than canadians.

Canada is lucky to have a channel like the weather network. Which they would cover united states weather as well.

[Eric]

Actually, The Weather Network does cover the United States in its reports.  Not as in-depth as for Canada, however, and the most emphasis is placed on cities near the Canadian border.

This is the schedule http://www.weather.com/tv/programs/Primetime.html

According to the new schedule, Full Force Nature is back, and there will be two new shows: Weather Caught on Camera and Impact TV.

Hmmm, a new show called "Weather Caught on Camera". And it looks like Cantore Stories may get new graphics on its theme.

Not looking forward to these changes, but, we will have to accept them.

Impact TV is not new...

Impact TV isn't that new because Adam Berg was hosting it months ago.

I knew Impact TV was on TWC. I never watched it though, so I forgot about it.

So how is it new?

Anyways, i dont mind the schedule.. honestly if i wanted an LF so badly I can open up after effects its good to see shows like FFN back  at least it isnt repeats on FE or climate code.. but I would like to see ICHT on as well, very interesting stories

I don't mind the more 2003-2007 type shows, (except for FE), but I'm really interested to see what Weather Caught on Camera is all about. Of course though, live programming is my priority.
