PhillyWatch 239 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 20 hours ago, Wildish said: The fact that they actively promote fox news shows is a turn off. I didn’t care to see Jesse Watters promoting his show while watching storm coverage. They should have kept it separate. This. I was looking forward to checking out their coverage of this storm, but I got to the the first commercial break yesterday and decided I'd seen enough. I could deal with the FOX Nation commercials, but I can't deal with seeing Hannity, Tucker, and the rest during every break. 4 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18085-fox-weather/page/10/#findComment-269701 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillyWatch 239 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 FWX has been added to YouTube TV, making it the only weather channel currently available on the platform (Byron Allen recently signed a deal to get TWC onto YTTV, but it still hasn't been added yet) Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18085-fox-weather/page/10/#findComment-269842 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillyWatch 239 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 I welcome the addition of another weather subchannel. I don't really understand why so many came & went, particularly the O&O based ones; they seemed like perfect companions to news-focused "trust us with your weather" presentations (and yes, I get that weather is available on demand on any internet-connected device). Seeing how so many are now gone (save for the sporadic carriage of WeatherNation), FWX may well have the market all to itself in most areas. Also of note, it seems the commercial load on the YouTube TV version of FWX is different than that on Tubi. I'm assuming the Tubi feed is coming from a FOX News-integrated backend that populates the same commercials you'd get on any other FOX News-originating stream (hence all the commercials for FOX Nation and Jesse Waters). On YouTube TV, I haven't seen any of those. Just a lot of "Hi, I'm Joe Namath!" and finance app ads.

Spring Rubber 705 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Looks like another schedule change is on the way, and again, more programming cutbacks? Looks like the live program known as America's Weather Center will be no more, as America's Weather Now moves to 3pm ET, and it looks like Fox Weather Wild returns full time at the new time of 7pm ET, further eroding live weather programming in the evening hours. Not good to see. Not sure if America's Weather Center will be kept as the name of the automated afternoon loop or what. Also not sure what happens to the on-air afternoon shift, as this change will surely eliminate the need for having 3 afternoon meteorologist shifts.

Briella 234 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 This is such a joke. Please make the same mistakes as the weather channel, but MUCH WORSE. If this is what they’re doing, it won’t last. It’s amazing how AccuWeather and weather nation do it right. Why can’t fox weather?

Spring Rubber 705 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 "Welcome to our great new weather channel! We proudly present to you 6 live hours of programming on weekday mornings, 4 live hours of programming on weekday afternoons, and 6 live hours of programming on weekend mornings! Any other time you tune in, we'll be happy to present either long form programming or an automated loop that doesn't present a whole lot of actual weather information!" I've noticed that TWC blew Fox Weather out of the water in terms of live hours of programming during this past week's winter storm. TWC was live until 1 AM ET each night, while Fox Weather was calling it quits around 9 or 10 pm ET every night. Ever since the December 10-11 tornado outbreak where Fox Weather went all in on the overnight coverage, it's all been downhill from there with a constant reduction in live programming hours every couple of weeks since then. It feels like they didn't like the (presumably low) amount of viewership they got from that overnight coverage, and some exec said, "You know what, we're done with all this live programming. We're only going to be live during peek hours, and those are the only timeslots where it's valuable to be live." In other words, the same logic TWC execs used on their current programming strategy, but somehow even WORSE. If they continue down this path, there's no bright future ahead for Fox Weather. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18085-fox-weather/page/10/#findComment-269980 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring Rubber 705 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) Side note: the program at 3pm ET is still America's Weather Center as of today. I guess the folks making the schedule graphic weren't aware of which program to list at which time. I can confirm that as of Friday, normal weather programming ended at 7pm ET, and Fox Weather Wild aired at that time, followed by long form programming afterward. EDIT: Their current answer to what to do with all of the on-air staff was to merge the two late shifts together into a 4-host program. America's Weather Now is now hosted by Nick, Marissa, Ian, and Brigit all at the same time. As to whether this holds up over time...we'll see...

mightynine 290 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 More distribution for Fox Weather: Amazon News, FuboTV, The Roku Channel and more. https://thestreamable.com/news/fox-weather-adds-the-roku-channel-youtube-tv-fubotv-and-more-as-distribution-partners Is this simulcast info new (bolded)? Quote For those of you with over-the-air antennas, FOX Weather will now be accessible across FTS’ Diginet multicast channels in New York, Seattle, and San Francisco, with plans to expand to the station group’s remaining 14 markets. The streaming service will also simulcast one hour per weekday and two hours on weekends on FTS’s 11 duopoly stations in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Dallas, San Francisco, Houston, Seattle, Phoenix, Minneapolis, and Orlando.

PhillyWatch 239 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Is an hour of FWX really any different than an hour of "Better" or "Daily Blast Live"? It's in-house content that's one less timeslot to have to worry about for syndication. FWX has now been added to the Roku's lineup of free streaming channels. Flipping through, Accuweatner NOW is airing a feature on the Superbowl into a Superbowl/West Coast forecast, Weathernation is airing their typical rotating weathermaps and forecasts, and FWX is airing a canned weather special. Granted there was a brief weather update when they returned from commercial, but it's funny that FWX is the most "Weather Channel" option of those three choices right now... 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18085-fox-weather/page/10/#findComment-270185 Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, I believe these simulcasts are being added on the second station in most, if not all markets – not the primary one. The hour is being added on KICU, not KTVU, and KICU's programming lineup in the middle of the day is a wasteland anyway and has been for a long time. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18085-fox-weather/page/10/#findComment-270207 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillyWatch 239 Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Noticed this morning (EARLY morning here on the west coast) that FOX O&O sister station KCOP is also simulcasting America's Weather Weekend in addition to the weekday hour. I wonder if the aforementioned stations running the weekday hour are also airing this as well. KCOP does seem to be in a programming world of it's own- less syndie content, a lot of Decades simulcasting and FOX Soul shows.
