TheRolyPoly 2441 Posted September 23, 2024 Share Posted September 23, 2024 For the first time in years (albeit online-only), TWC has a SiriusXM presence once again. When severe weather is impacting any part of the country, tune to Alerts from The Weather Channel for a live simulcast of The Weather Channel for the latest information to keep you safe and informed. Alerts from The Weather Channel on SiriusXM 799. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18577-the-weather-channel/page/8/#findComment-300486 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBC 5 Chicago 191 Posted October 26, 2024 Author Share Posted October 26, 2024 Schedule shakeup: Beginning Monday 10/28/24: AMHQ: 6am-2pm The Weather Channel Live: 2pm-6pm Weather Unfiltered: 6pm-10pm Storm Center is no more as confirmed by Jacqui Jeras Facebook post. I'm excited they are expanding weather into primetime again and moving Weather Unfiltered there. I've always loved that show and it makes sense to move it to primetime. One thing that does not make sense is AMHQ going into the afternoon. It is a morning show. They should just do The Weather Channel live or better yet bring back Weather Center: Live. We'll have to see on Monday what The Weather Channel Live will be and who is going to be the meteorologists. But the best news is we're getting more Live Weather Channel hours regularly for the first time in YEARS. 2 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18577-the-weather-channel/page/8/#findComment-301219 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking back to like 2020-2021 when Weather Center Live still existed, the program guide called the show "The Weather Channel LIVE" using the exact same show description, so I'm definitely curious to see if this show will be Weather Center Live or something brand new. I'm curious to see if Jacqui and/or the two Chris's will be hosting this afternoon show. But yeah, live programming until 10pm ET? When's the last time that was on TWC's regular schedule? 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18577-the-weather-channel/page/8/#findComment-301220 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would've split America's Morning Headquarters into two 4-hour shows instead of having it run a whole 8 hours under one singular name, but maybe that's just me. Have AMHQ be from 6-10am (5-9am Central) while re-titling the 10am-2pm (9am-1pm Central) block as "Daily Recharge" (a weekday version of Weekend Recharge). 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18577-the-weather-channel/page/8/#findComment-301221 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels like they're afraid to stray from the AMHQ branding (for ratings purposes, idk?), but having the show end at 2pm ET is just silly at this point. I remember back in like 2021, if Jen and Alex's show ever extended past 12pm ET due to severe weather/hurricane coverage, the 12pm ET hour would be run as an unbranded hour instead of AMHQ, because they refused to push the AMHQ brand into the afternoon. Funny how that's all out the window now. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18577-the-weather-channel/page/8/#findComment-301223 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRolyPoly 2441 Posted October 26, 2024 Share Posted October 26, 2024 This was expected, somewhat, as a site I can't name here reported that as part of the TWC layoffs, most if not all of the Storm Center staff got whacked, so the writing was on the wall for that program.

So whatever "The Weather Channel LIVE" ends up being, would we expect it to be a very low-staff program, perhaps something that originates from The Lab like the old "Weather Center Live"? 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18577-the-weather-channel/page/8/#findComment-301235 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm not mistaken, that studio was used by The Weather Company for their web/mobile video forecasts, back in their IBM-owned days. I don't believe the TV network has made use of it, outside of the malware incident that you referenced.

NBC 5 Chicago 191 Posted October 28, 2024 Author Share Posted October 28, 2024 (edited) So, it is Weather Channel Live. No open or anything. But they have a live now bug on the bottom right corner. It is originating from The Lab. Chris Bruin and Felicia Combs are the meteorologists. Felicia posted on Facebook that she and Bruin will be there all week. Not sure if they are every week or if this will be a weekly revolving door of meteorologists during this block.

Hmm, the "LIVE NOW" bug is something we used to see on the live break-in coverage that would air during long form programming. Similarly, this show is not using any lower thirds other than those identifying the meteorologists. This seems to suggest that this is a very paired-down broadcast, as we suspected. I wonder if Chris Warren and Jacqui Jeras are still with TWC, or if this is the end for them.

Megatron81 263 Posted October 28, 2024 Share Posted October 28, 2024 I didn't think that Weather Channel would be live until 10PM outside of severe weather outbreack or cane coverage. I think their rivals Fox Weather goes until 9PM then it's Fox Weather At Night on a loop from 9PM to 5AM.

Spring Rubber 705 Posted October 29, 2024 Share Posted October 29, 2024 Both yesterday and today, Carl Parker has had a presence on The Weather Channel LIVE. Yesterday, he was live with Chris and Felicia in The Lab. Today, he's featured in pre-recorded hits from what currently serves as the TWC En Español studio. This studio previously served as the COVID isolation studio in 2020-2021, and from 2015-2019 as the Weather Underground studio. On another note, apparently the height differential between Chris and Felicia was too great. They now begin the show seated. They actually made this adjustment somewhere in the middle of yesterday's program. Also during the middle of yesterday's show and continuing today, the LIVE NOW bug was replaced with a standard bug that appears during other programming.

It looks like this is a very old page from back when she was newer at TWC and was still per diem. http://web.archive.org/web/20190318013952/http://www.jacquijeras.com/when-to-see-me.html I found a copy of this page on the web archive from March 2019. I suspect given the dates of the weekend shows (Nov 10th, 11th, 17th, 18th) that this page is from November 2018. That's the only year since 2012 that had weekends on those exact dates.

Spring Rubber 705 Posted November 1, 2024 Share Posted November 1, 2024 Chris Bruin and Felicia Combs ended up not being paired together the entire week. Thursday's show featured Chris Bruin and Carl Parker. Today's show features Felicia Combs and Chris Warren (still with TWC in some capacity, I take it).

(Felicia co-hosted Mon-Wed) I wonder if Chris Warren and Jacqui Jeras are both per diem at this point, or what the deal is.

Thanks for sharing. Another thing I've noticed lately is that if one of the AMHQ Weekend hosts is off, TWC is sliding Molly up from Weekend Recharge to host the AMHQ shift, rather than calling someone else in to host, as was the norm in the past. They're doing anything they can to slash costs right now.

nathannah 2436 Posted November 26, 2024 Share Posted November 26, 2024 (edited) Did it ever really launch though? One day I found it on Spectrum and I've never seen any live programming on the network outside a map loop in Spanish. I've seen terrible half-assed 'launched to satisfy regulators and Latino groups' networks like HGTV Hogar before, but at least they had translated content...I barely saw anything live from this network at all.
