Program History
Day Planner was added in 2003 as one of the last programs to be added to The Weather Channel's morning programming block. For all intents and purposes, its format is similar to Your Weather Today, but the primary focus for the show is towards Middle America and the West Coast. While the show originally aired from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. Eastern when it premiered, its schedule has shifted to 11 a.m.-2 p.m. ET; this time shifting puts Day Planner into the morning hours for the regions. In the event an ongoing significant weather event occurs (e.g., severe weather outbreak, winter storm, hurricane threatening the United States), Day Planner may be extended by one hour, preempting long-form programming during the 2 p.m.-3 p.m. eastern timeslot.
A major shift in The Weather Channel's schedule began on September 27, 2010. With this change, Day Planner began airing from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. ET (11 a.m.-7 p.m., if there is a special coverage).
Another major shift occurred to Day Planner on March 26, 2012. Day Planner stopped airing from 2:00pm-5:00pm, with long-form programming replacing it from 2:00pm-4:00pm and an afternoon edition of Weather Center Live was added from 4:00pm-5:00pm . Nick Walker and Vivian Brown, who hosted Day Planner from 2:00pm-5:00pm moved to 11:00am-2:00pm edition of day planner replacing Heather Tesch and Carl Parker, Heather moved to Weekend Now and the weekend afternoon edition of Weather Center Live and Carl became the Storm Specialist providing the tropical weather updates during Day Planner and Weather Center Live as well as a fill-in host.) If there is extended coverage, Day Planner with Nick and Vivian will air from 11:00am-3:00pm.

Famous quotes containing the words program and/or history:
“When I saw it I was so glad I could not speak. My eyes seemed too little to see it all.... I was a long time without speaking to my friend. To see me always looking and never speaking he thought I had lost my mind. I could not understand where all this could come from.”
—For the State of Maine, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“The history of progress is written in the blood of men and women who have dared to espouse an unpopular cause, as, for instance, the black man’s right to his body, or woman’s right to her soul.”
