nathannah 2401 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Has anyone seemed to lose their local weather conditions lately on the channel? My Spectrum system has local SD conditions but no HD equipment, and through the Spectrum app they have been carrying the Milwaukee conditions in HD, but in the last week they've disappeared and been replaced with the national feed only. Hoping this isn't Allen cheaping out; I know they really want to stop the local on the 8s but this is the worst way to withdraw it. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18577-the-weather-channel/page/9/#findComment-304094 Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.L. Hughes 881 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) In advance of the expected tornado outbreak impacting portions of the Deep South (which some atmospheric analogues suggest could be under similar conditions to those that caused the 2011 Super Outbreak that struck the same region), TWC has announced schedule changes for Saturday (March 15). According to TitanTV and OnTVTonight, AMHQ will be extended by one hour until 10:00 a.m. ET, accordingly shifting Weekend Recharge one hour later (pushing it to 10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m., preempting Pattrn). Long-form programming reruns will be preempted for extended storm coverage through at least 10:00 p.m. ET. (Barring that the event busts, Frozen Gold reruns still scheduled from 10:00 p.m.-1:00 a.m. ET will likely be preempted as well.) Edited March 14 by T.L.

nathannah 2401 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I know it's just a break but I think I'd just stay on-air rather than putting reality as the priority on the Weather Channel during a weather event. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18577-the-weather-channel/page/9/#findComment-304366 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They actually did a double box like this while going back to regular programming for a bit, while there were active confirmed tornadoes, then going back full on coverage "when needed". I was kind of perplexed & disappointed. 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18577-the-weather-channel/page/9/#findComment-304367 Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.L. Hughes 881 Posted Monday at 02:18 AM Share Posted Monday at 02:18 AM After more than 15 years at TWC, Chris Warren has left the network (as confirmed by the well-wishes by colleagues like Jim Cantore, Mike Bettes and Charles Peek in the comments of this Twitter post).

nathannah 2401 Posted Tuesday at 09:12 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:12 PM So are they just hiring the Weatherology Voicebot 4000 to do Allen station weather hits? It feels like they should be adding staff rather than subtracting from it, and hiring cheaper and younger inexperienced talent (God forbid the worst of young WeatherTwitter) just puts them in the same boat. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18577-the-weather-channel/page/9/#findComment-304822 Share on other sites More sharing options...
