Local Forecast / Re: General LF Discussion

UPDATE: A completely different glitch occured on the 7:58 PM LF; this one was even stranger than the 7:28 PM error. The LF worked properly for about 2 or 3 seconds, and then the area on top of the LDL turned black, and then turned gray. A national map (seen on 1-minute LFs) then appeared, and the LDL froze at the same time. About a half second later, Trammell cut in - and it stayed on the Trammell feed for the rest of the LF. I wonder what the hell is going on with the HD LF.

For a few seconds after the initial trigger of Trammell at this LF, the HD LF returned again (frozen on one of the spinning-globe transitions), but only for a split second before Trammell came back.

Also, this is the 7:48 error

HD Local Forecast Glitch - November 29, 2011 - 7:48 PM ET

Zach, how were you able to get your clip of First Snow unmuted? I see it got tagged at least but they muted my clip of it.

Did anyone catch the strange glitch on the 7:28 PM HD LF? The LF started out properly, but just as the NE region radar was transitioning into the weather for tomorrow, the radar froze; and the LF remained stuck at that screen for most of the local forecast (with the exception of the LDL, which was working properly)

It happens occassionally.

Local Forecast / Re: November/December 2011 playlist

Personally, I didn't see a problem in playing a couple Christmas-associated songs at the beginning of November.  It kind of gets you in the mood for the holiday season. I'm surprised that it apparently created such an uproar that TWC would take it off the playlist, and Eric would tweet about it.  I guess some people don't want to be in the holiday spirit yet.

I'm surprised that it only played for one day  until TWC took it off

I thought I heard it play for a few days.

I heard the Home Alone theme along with Carol of the Bells at the beginning of the playlist.

Carol of the Bells is not on the playlist.

The Bunny the Bear song, for some miracle, was playing on WUWA during the 2 minute LF's all last week. I was able to catch one of the clips since this song never plays during the 2 mins on primetime. Also, has anyone heard "White Water" by Matthew Shuman on the 2 min LF during the morning hours? I have not heard it at once. Perhaps this may explain:

Hi Victor,

 

There is no reasoning for that song to miss the 2 minute locals – it is just the luck of the draw. The new Sourcebook plays through the entire set of 10 songs in order, then re-shuffles and plays them in order again.  The old sourcebook re-picked from the pool of 10 songs for every local, so the same track would often repeat back to back.     

 

Each song only plays about 2 or 3 times every night, and since there are fewer 2 minute locals during prime time (the :28 and :58s in Prime are usually 1 minute).  Just for fun, our team pulled today’s programming log – and the song in question (02332 below) is playing at the 6:58 PM local. So you will be hearing it.

 

Thanks,

Melissa

Tough year, like I said there were a lot of good playlists. I'd say Jan/Feb would be my favorite one though, followed by the May/June playlist.

I am happy to announce that I completed my first solo flight today in Grand Forks. It was cold, and there was ice around the airport, but three landings and it was done.

You can fly aircraft?

I heard Explosions in the Sky by Your Hand in Mine

I think you got the title/artist mixed up.

Anyways, while I was driving in traffic today in driver's ed, I heard "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol on WMTX 100.7

LOL, they play that and Nickelback's "Far Away" all the time in Brower COmmons
