That sounds like their emergency feed music. I heard it a couple weeks ago, the feed during live programming failed, and it switched to the emergency feed (satellite LF & music) for a few minutes. It just kept playing production music for the different TWC shows.

On another note, I seriously wonder and hope that TWC brings back jazz music to the LF.

Fun game to play during the 7pm ET hour of Weather Center Live: count the number of times Chris Warren says the words "right now!"
Better game: Count how many times Chris Warren interrupts someone else in the 7PM time block. Lol

Carl Parker and Jennifer Lopez was another great pairing on PM Edition several years back.

OCMs & Personalities / Re: "The Front" thank you gift

Last evening, I received a package in the mail from TWC. I opened it, and found a thank you card from TWC and a supposedly autographed picture of Jim Cantore. Being a Cantore fan, I was excited, however, it turns out that Jim Cantore did not autograph each photo, as you can tell in the photos below. There is a 100% match in every detail between the two autographs; therefore each picture was copied from the original, and the autograph is not authentic. If TWC is going to send out an "autographed" picture, they should at least make sure they're authentic!

The first photo is of my Cantore pic, and the second one is of another TWCT member (Eric's) photo. You can clearly see that there are no subtle differences between the autographs.

Jim Cantore did not really sign each individual picture. I also got one in the mail, and comparing mine to yours, every single detail of the "autograph" is identical. They're just copies. Smooth move TWC...  :oops:

It's interesting that TWC recycled footage from the 2002 baseball-themed Weather Center opener to a 2011 LF opener.

Dave Rexroth, the popular and well-liked chief meteorologist for Channel 7 WXYZ-TV in Detroit lost his eye in a serious fireworks accident Friday Night. I really hope he recovers well from the injury!

Good, many people (myself included) like the topographic maps better than the plain gray maps.

When are they gonna change the LOT8s music??
I contacted @freddyflaxman and as of yesterday they're still investigating. No Timeline as of yet.
He's been saying that for months, and it's getting annoying.

Looks like someone doesn't know how to spell one of the most familiar faces in meteorology...and the most familiar face and meteorologist at TWC. Just goes to show the carelessness TWC has toward its OCM's.

Programming and Graphics / Re: New TWC show: Fat Guys in the Woods

I actually hope a major cable or satellite provider would drop TWC. Dish Network did for a short time I believe in 2010, and DirecTV dropped them for a while earlier this year. Hopefully the third time would be the charm in terms of getting rid unnecessary longform programming.
