TWC in 2050: Like, what?! :rofl2: They probably haven't seen Back to the Future II, TWC was even spoofed in that film. :rofl2:

I've noticed this week that TWC is now using the AMHQ areas of the HD studio during WCL.

Yep! That's part of a new plan to make the shows more interactive.  Looks good, doesn't it!?

Yes it's much better now that they are using all of the studio.
I had been wondering when the full studio would be in use by AMHQ and WCL.
There must have been some logistics and adding of cameras they had to do.

I got an advanced screener of this, it was really cool! The design team spent a long time on that set, ;)

@SamRichardson92 Sorry if this seems a little pushy, but what is the weather channel going to do with LO8s music? Are they staying with the production songs, bringing back jazz or vocals? I tried tweeting @freddyflaxman but unfortunately no response. If you cannot answer this question then just say so.

In a world where music rights are skyrocketing I think production music is the cheapest solution in order to still provide local on the 8s. Just my opinion but I think it's lucky the brand (local on the 8s) has survived this long.

Weather Channel Talks to Banks on Options Including Sale

Oh great, here we go again. Now let's see who decides to buy TWC. Either they'll screw it up even more or maybe end the NBC hiatus.

Doubt it would happen but ABC is dropping its "Live Well" digital subchannel next year, maybe a purchase and a change to an OTA channel?

TWC is preempting all programming for Odile Coverage. Sidebar is blank, with Hurricane trivia.

The upper half of the sidebar has been such a waste 95% of the time.
