Inevitably, the merger of NBC on-air meteorologists began in May 2009. Former NBC Weather Plus meteorologist Todd Santos joined the Weather Channel on May 2 of that year. [[Al Roker]] of NBC's ''[[Today (U.S.American TV program)|Today]]'' began hosting a one-hour morning program called ''[[Wake Up With Al]]'', alongside meteorologist Stephanie Abrams later in the summer.

Weather forecast programming made up TWC's entire schedule prior to its incorporation of weather-related original programming – referred in network promotional materials and press releases as "long-form programming"–in – in 2000 (with few breakaways from its forecast programs prior to then, outside of educational program ''[[The Weather Classroom]]'', an original program produced as part of the cable television industry's [[Cable in the Classroom]] initiative). The number of hours devoted to TWC's in-studio forecast programs havehas steadily eroded since then. The network's live studio programs are aired regularly from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on weekdays and from 6:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time on weekends and holidays. ''[[America's Morning Headquarters]]'' airs weekdays between 6:00 a.m. and noon1:00 p.m. Eastern Time, followed by ''Pattrn,'' which airs from noon to 1:00 p.m. Eastern, ''Weather UndergroundUnfiltered'', which airs from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern followed by the network's drivetime program, ''[[Storm Center]]'', which airs from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern. On weekends, ''America's Weekend Headquarters'' from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., followed by ''Weekend Recharge'' from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., followed by ''Pattrn'' from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

The Weather Channel also broadcastbroadcasts original weather-related documentary/entertainment series and [[television special|specials]]. These programs ran throughout the rest of the schedule. During severe weather events affecting portions of the United States, the Weather Channel may preempt original programming in favor of airing extended coverage under the umbrella title ''Weather Center Live'' (which changes the color of the word "LIVE" from blue to red) to provide long-form coverage and analysis until its aftermath; in some events, the on-air graphics (including Lower Display Line) can go black-and-red (similar to colors that WCL uses); pre-emptions vary between local (isolated to viewers in the region affected by a particular weather event) and nationwide, depending upon the impact of the weather phenomenon/story and if a local provider utilizes a later model WeatherStar unit that allows the use of dual feeds that can substitute programming with long-form weather coverage in a given area. TWC normally utilizes a different music theme for these events, dubbed "Storm Alert Mode", used for both WCL and LOT8's.

In response, the [[National Weather Service]] announced on November 7, 2012, that it would not recognize the Weather Channel's names for winter storms, stating in a press release that it "does not use the name of winter storms in its products."<ref name="Samenow2012"/><ref name="FNC2012"/><ref>{{cite web|title=Winter Storm Athena Forecast Impacts|url=http://www.weather.com/news/weather-winter/noreaster-post-sandy-20121105|publisher=The Weather Channel|access-date=November 7, 2012|archive-date=November 7, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121107010156/http://www.weather.com/news/weather-winter/noreaster-post-sandy-20121105|url-status=dead}}</ref> Some commentators have suggested that naming winter storms may give them undue importance in the public eye by drawing parallels to official names given by the National Weather Service to [[Tropical cyclone|tropical storms]], which are significantly more severe and devastating than winter storms.<ref>Archived at [https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/qMGn9T37eR8 Ghostarchive]{{cbignore}} and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20191031045041/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMGn9T37eR8 Wayback Machine]{{cbignore}}: {{Citation|title=Weather: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)| date=October 13, 2019 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMGn9T37eR8|language=en|access-date=February 20, 2020}}{{cbignore}} starting from 7:05</ref> References to the names are generally limited on TWC-provided forecasts seen on NBC's [[NBC News|news programs]].
