I hate to be rude, but IMO there's too much "junk" on the screen while watching live TWC now. :thumbdown: I didn't realize the blue bar at the bottom that shows conditions for certain places or explains stuff was always going to be present. :no: In addition, if you watch TWC in HD, there's that darn LDA on the side too. I guess it may be helpful to some people, but the blue bar and LDA are very distracting. :wacko:

* Anistorm raises her hand that she agrees with Andy.

There are some pointless stuff on the LDA that don't mean to be there.

Oh no worries, you are not being rude to anyone at all. In fact, I too agree with you. While I like how the Blue LDL integrates all that information together, I am just fine with the SD daze and the black bar. I am glad I don't get the LDA, and the Blue Bar is WAY too much for me.

*Felix agreed with Andy* I don't watch live TWC anymore unless of that BBOD goes away. I never like it. 30 seconds is enough, but more than a minutes of showing it is too much. What a stupid idea to add those pieces of crap.

What's this? TWC is actually playing "Colortones", a daytime song, at 3:59. What happened to primetime music?

Primetime started a bit early I believe? :thinking:

Well, TWC always plays primetime music at :59 past during long form (during the day). This case though, they didn't :blink:

WTF...Jeff Morrow pulled a double shift today and did this morning's weather.com video forecasts as well. I guess TWC is shorthanded on a WEDNESDAY of all days, when the most OCMs are working out of all of the days of the week. Kim Perez, who would normally do that morning forecast, is still off. Todd and/or Samantha should have been available, but I'm assuming one of them is going to be filling in for Alexandra still tonight.

Bill Keneely is doing the evening weather.com forecasts for tonight.

It's not as bad as "WEATHER DOT .COM 24/8" or the fact they sometimes say "15 POINT 8" instead of "15.8"

Lots of typos keep showing up on those lower third graphics for some reason. :hmm:
