Programming and Graphics / Re: TWC going all long-form on Thanksgiving Day

« Last post by crazybangles on November 14, 2025, 12:18:02 PM »

As much as I normally hate TWC's stupid decisions, this one isn't entirely surprising. If they're seriously resorting to having no live programming on Thanksgiving, then viewership in the last couple years has likely been very low. Cable TV’s viewership as a whole continues to decline, and while there will be plenty of people watching TWC on the days leading up to and after Thanksgiving, nobody is really watching on Thanksgiving day itself.

I wouldn’t be surprised if other channels start doing this as well in the future. People these days are looking to save money wherever they can, and if they can do so by not paying meteorologists to work on a day with a very limited audience, they will do that. As much as I hate to say this, I’m surprised they didn’t start doing this years ago.  On the other hand, if Thanksgiving ends up being a highly active weather day and they don’t cover it, that’ll be a different story and one to be upset about. If the day ends up quiet, I see little reason to be upset about this. TWC has been on the air for us on the daily for decades, and missing one day so most of the staff can spend time with their families I don't think is much to be angry about.

Does anybody on here remember TWC's plan to have nothing but long-form on Christmas Day way back in 2008? Well, as it turns out, this is 2 weeks from becoming reality. On Thanksgiving Day, TWC is going to have a marathon of "The Earth Unlocked" from 6am et on Thanksgiving morning right until Black Friday morning at 5am et. This means TWC will have a record 32 hours straight of long-form starting on Wednesday night (before Thanksgiving) at 10pm et until Black Friday morning at 6am et.

TWC  knows Better!!!!!! If TWC misses a Big Story.....I WILL NOT defend them!!!!!  Long-form IS NOT TWC 's Legacy!!!!!!

This is a new low even for TWC, an entire day without live weather. On one hand, it's nice for the OCMs they get to have the day off, but on another, you know having to work on a big holiday is a possibility when you take a job like this. This is certainly unprecedented. Now, I have to wonder if they'll do this on Christmas and/or New Year's or not.

Realistically what’s the point of renaming it to weather unfiltered though?

How much does gasoline cost in your area?

Most gas stations here in NJ are $2.71, and is dropping.

I know this is probably 16+ years late from the original post BUTTT For reference gas prices in my area are averaging 2.60&$ now

Everything Else TWC / Re: TWC Being Bought By Comedian and Mogul Byron Allen

« Last post by wsimaxloverr on October 26, 2025, 04:14:36 AM »

Some of you may have heard of comedian and mogul Byron Allen and his Entertainment Studios company, some of you haven't. Today, Allen has announced his intent to purchase The Weather Channel.

At least the channel itself will soon be off the hands of the NBCUniversal/Blackstone/Bain consortium. Will we see some improvements like the return of live 24/7 weather?

Link to Article

doubt it’ll return to the 24/7 live weather

I bet you can love the Tri-State Weather original intro from 1986.

That's the same video that the original poster posted.
