In January, WXIA rebranded the channel "11Alive Weather" and kept the "L-Bar" with weather information from The Weather Channel, but shifted the remainder of the content to a local radar loop, and eliminated the [[background music]] that aired with it. It was later rebranded as the "11Alive Weather Information Zone" or "WIZ" in 2010, along with the weather segments during [[newscast]]s on the main channel. This service was also carried on [[digital cable]] in the Atlanta area through [[Charter Spectrum]] and [[Xfinity|Comcast]]. In early December 2010, the WIZ was moved to WATL, and aired on channel 36.2, while 11.2 continued to air a static message graphic directing [[Terrestrial television|over-the-air]] viewers to [[ATSC tuner|tune]] there and re-[[channel memory|scan]] if necessary. One month later, on January 10, the channel was removed completely from WXIA, and 11.3 became 11.2, before being reversed the following day. In 2011, Atlanta-based [[Bounce TV]] launched on September 26 with WATL 36.2 as its ''de facto'' [[flagship station|flagship]] affiliate, with the WIZ channel being restored two weeks later on 36.3. In early October, 11.2 again became [[Universal Sports]] and 11.3 was deleted and was reversed again a week later, with WIZ bounced back to its original channel 11.2. In November 2011, 11.3 was deleted leaving 36.3 as the sole channel for Universal Sports until it became a cable channel in 2012. Eventually, WIZ was converted from being presented using internal station weather computers to presentation and programming from [[The Local AccuWeather Channel]]. But an agreement with WAGA-TV and AccuWeather has made WXIA switch its programming and presentation to [[WeatherNation TV]]. The station added Universal Sports at the beginning of May 2009 on channel 11.3, added it to 36.3 in October 2011, and then deleted it from 11.3 in November 2011. However, it used severe [[video data compression]], which left very obvious [[compression artifact|blurriness and pixelation]] during [[high-motion]] scenes common in [[broadcasting of sports events|sports]]. This low-[[bitrate]] sacrifice protects the quality of the main HD channel and is unavoidable because Universal Sports transmits its programming via [[satellite television|satellite]] in this highly compressed form (4.48Mbit/s). It was therefore not originally transmitted on [[sister station]] WATL (virtual channel 36.3, digital channel 25) because it would look the same there, and that station's bandwidth is being used for [[mobile television]] ([[ATSC-M/H]]), including WXIA's mobile channels. Additionally, [[mobile communications]] work better on higher UHF [[TV channel]]s than on low VHF ones. In early 2018, the station added new network [[Quest (American TV network)|Quest]] on new subchannel 11.4, taking over many of WXIA-DT2's cable slots and leaving that station for the most part exclusive to over-the-air customers. In February 2020, WeatherNation TV was replaced by a VHF simulcast of WATL on subchannel 11.2. The simulcast ended on April 5, 2021, when it was replaced with [[Twist (TV network)|Twist]] after the network launched.
