I would not be surprised if this new logo goes live for everything. Think FOX News rotating logo.
I would not mind that at all.  It looks nice to me. 
Now if only we knew what happend to the other LDLs

I don't mind it either.   A local station has a rotating logo as well, advertising the website.  I think it is a good idea, because a lot of TWC's promos already promote TWC Mobile and weather.com.  (However, I think the weather.com logo is kind of a waste, but whatever :P )

New animated logo during lHDl locals

The Weather Channel HD Local Forecast: With new Animated Logo

It doesn't say |HD| anymore :blink: :thumbdown: :footinmouth:

But I don't hate it too much, although it reminds of something news channels do by always rotating the logo. :yes:


The only times now it says lHDl is during K flavors (1:30) and Long form (1:00) but don't be surprised if the logo is updated to those flavors as well.

Still not into K flavors or DE flavors yet..

Im starting to wonder if theyre implementing the LOT8s ads into the HD LF now (in phases)  :thinking:

That's what I'm thinking too, as long as the IntelliStar can handle an animation like that. A lot of other news channels, and the Big 3 channels are like this.

That's what I said. :yes: This logo reminds me of a lot of rotating news station logos.

LOT8s sponsors are never done at :18/:48 past nor on 1:00 flavors  :no:

That's what I was thinking....I like the concept here, it's a refreshing idea. However, I personally feel it would look better and less distracting if it did rotate like the FOX News logo.....less distracting.  :yes:

During afternoon long-form, they've been doing periodic weather updates on Tropical Storm Igor from the key wall in the studio with the red light above it.

Who the heck thought it would be a good idea to put a bright red light up there anyway?!

The last (and only, IIRC) time they used the key walls with the red light was during the TWC Outage of January 2008. I don't know why they are using the red light, unless there is another outage, which I find highly unlikely. So, I am confused.

We're talking about the key wall that has the red tally light above it.
