I just saw a "From The Edge" promo on Discovery Channel.  :blink:
Not surprising. Ever since NBC took over, the number of cross-network promos for TWC has increased.

Hasn't it been like that for awhile now? :dunno: Anyways, I really like this idea :thumbsup: (although it's surprising that they wouldn't want to show the ads the whole time).

The only live show was WxCenter and the long form shows had it, but today was the first day I saw it on WUWA/DP

Quite a few things to note from my eyes this morning...

• 4:57 AM-ish i saw the CC hours bumper :blink: havent seen that since 2009 :o but Idk if the music changed due to my TV being muted :P

• New Spring ID is identical to the 2010/2009 one, but isnt as defocused on the flower

• 4:58 AM ET LF  - blue LOT8s bug made a comeback

• 5:58 AM ET LF used Rock steady by the whisperers from the primetime list

Yea I thoughts thats been occurring for a while. My guess is the ads are harder to sell than they thought. It has to be specially made and doesn't show much information. Showing the show names is ok I guess but I wish they would improve on the quality of the graphic. I find them to be a bit lacking

Now this looks a bit more like 3D as compared to that other crap that was used for the "Top 5." It's still not as good as the clip Tyler posted, though. :no:

Their graphics team is probably working on more stuff, so we might see more of this being used in the future.

Personally, I think the 3D stuff is pretty neat (if it looks more 3D-like than just an extended chroma key). :yes: Now is it absolutely necessary? Well, probably not. But I wouldn't say it's a complete waste of money.

I doubt this costs them much since its just VIZ, which they already have, and they just added green paint or cloth.

Hmm, with this snowstorm that will be developing in the NE, I wonder if TWC will preempt programming tonight... :P  :hammer:

Doubt it. They've been hyping this Peter Lik guy for weeks now. They didn't preempt last night when most of Florida was doused with rain and thunderstorms.  <_<
