It's about time. <_< I hate it how Day Planner and Weekend Now never (until now :P) use their themes but random production music instead. :thumbdown: Did the WN opener have its proper music, too? :unsure:

The one time I wanted to get all 3 of these original show theme music openers and they  actually decide to play it while I don't have my tv tuner hooked up, I heard DP play their original theme music this past Friday at 1:00pm EDT

The only shows that still frequently use its own music on the openers are YWT, PM Edition, and Weather Center. And WC is the only show that still uses it's own bumper music before and after breaks often (PME still does it too, but not often).

Was looking at random files on TWC's image server...

Then there are these:

http://xoap.weather.com/web/common/images/ur_wx_today.jpg - an odd YWT logo
http://xoap.weather.com/web/common/images/map_metars600x405.jpg - METAR stations in the DC area
http://xoap.weather.com/web/common/under_construction.gif - likely from 2000 or 2001 due to its use of Akzidenz-Grotesk Ext.
http://xoap.weather.com/web/common/banners/dennis_alert_mode.jpg - Yes, THAT Hurricane Dennis.
http://xoap.weather.com/web/common/768_banner.jpg - weather.com banner likely from 2000 or 2001
http://xoap.weather.com/web/aboutus/ocms/ - this picture gallery is full of old OCMs - files are mostly by last name here.
clipstreampro.zip and clint.tar.gz - the second is a very large file but worth it - an archive of one of the big directories including One Degree resources. The icons directory has XL icons up to 93x93. Circa 2006. The first is an unworkable Java-based app.
http://xoap.weather.com/web/twc/768_mission_statement.jpg - Irony here anyone?
pdcst_296x218.jpg - an old high-res TWC logo

The apocalypse has landed.... TWC fixes some lights in the studio, another set dies...



hopefully that's just a wiring issue since that's a string of lights, not just one individual one.

DP is in the monitor position! Could we see PME in the maps position?

Perhaps there's something wrong with the city backdrop? :unsure:
