IMO, they have way to many shows already. I'm not even that familiar with Impact TV or Tornado Road, etc, etc, etc... :faint: But I know it's all about the ratings, attracting cable companies, blah, blah... :sleeping:

Shows you how bureaucratic TWC has become. Its like the government. Shows get caught up in focus testing, etc rather than getting actual air time to prove itself.

And LDA frozen city of the day is...(drum roll, please)...Indianapolis!! :dance: :P

TWC seriously needs to do something about this, because it could eventually burn an image into a plasma TV screen.

Sometime yesterday or Sunday, the LDL on the SD Feed was frozen on Dallas Ft. Wort (yea, the LDL was in the middle of transitioning) for over 30 minutes.

Is Day Planner being hosted from the old studio/expert area today? Both segments I've seen thus far, they've been sourcing all graphics full screen, and both Carl and Heather have been in the expert area.
My super-awesome website!

Well I don't know about today but this happened on DP once before. Everything except for the Weekly Planner was done from the Expert Desk in the old studio, and I don't know why. :no:

This morning I was watching Your Weather Today, and I heard Mike Bettes mention "Taking a look at 'Live Action Radar'" SEVERAL time (almost to the point where it was too much).  I did not understand why he was calling it by that name.  Apparently that is what they are now calling it, because during PM Edition, a graphic with a "woosh" popped up with "Live Action Radar" on the graphic.  Kind of interesting they are calling the Radar by that.

TWC needs to realize its doing this and just get rid of the darn thing. <_< What good is the LDA to even the average viewer if it is stuck on a city EVERY day. :angry: The only people who will love are the people living in the city it is stuck on.

Yes, that was announced months ago.
