NBC Weather Plus on WCAU

A

Is WCAU 10.2 still local NBC Weather Plus?

I'm watching Verizon channel 460 which used to be CAU local weather. Now it's what appears to be the national feed.

Just wondering as I can't pick up WCAU-DT very well from Dover, DE

Thanks. :D
 
Yes, it is...till they fold the end of the year then "who knows" what they'll put in its place.

Thanks. :) Verizon must have changed it as it no longer says channel 10 or WCAU but just NBC Weather plus. They may have switched to WBAL with them dropping their local coverage. I'll check there next (my aerial can get BAL-DT) :D
 
While some believe this will free up bandwidth for "Universal Sports" (what's left of WCSN), I'm under the school of thought that they will repackage WeatherPlus, albeit with NBC's new acquisition The Weather Channel providing the content.

I just checked and WBAL (11.2) is still running local weather (with local cities reported) :D
while WCAU (10.2) is running the national feed (no channel 10 or WCAU or local cities). ???

Verizon is still running 10.2 on 460 and 6.3 on 465. At least Philly still has local weather from PVI. ;)
 
Yeah, I just checked the TV in the basement that I rarely watch and have hooked up to a DTV converter box...sure enough--CAU is airing the national feed for some reason. Probably because WEATHER PLUS folds next month but don't know why they wouldn't continue to broadcast as usual until then. Wondering now if they'll create a digital to replace WP.

Today I checked channel 460 (CAU 10-2 on Verizon) and I noticed they are once again doing the Philly thing. They have the website nbcphiladelphia.com along with an all-white peacock with the word plus next to it (oh, and the local weather coverage). I can't say how long they've been doing this, but I can't see it lasting far into 09. :D
