Everything Else TWC / Re: General TWC Discussion

While I like Chris abd Crystal, I'd rather see Kelly and Paul.

Me too! Chris does a pretty good job, but from the times I have watched Crystal, I feel like she has no personality. As I mentioned earlier, I really miss the Paul/Alex pair for EE.

Really? I feel they both lack personality. I never liked Chris Warren, he looks so uncomfortable on camera and his facial expressions and emotions feel "forced" to me.

While I like Chris abd Crystal, I'd rather see Kelly and Paul.

Yeah, I agree. BTW, what happened to Sam? 

I'm getting a little concerned myself, I don't like for OCMs to go M.I.A for too long given TWC/NBC's history these past few years.

I don't like Crystal or Chris either, then again I don't care for most the new OCM's anyways.

As for Sam, how long has she been M.I.A. for? I imagine it's less then 2 weeks then she is probably on vacation

OK, so all this copyrighted stuff seems like a big issue lately. People's accounts are getting strikes, closed, etc... Are companies creating stricter rules, is YouTube really starting to crack down, or are people just oblivious to these copyright rules? Not to be rude, but I don't understand what's so hard about it.

It's not always the companies its more like the artists targeting people for using their music in playlist test clips and emulations.

The economy. People (artists) are more than ever hungry for money, so they will do whatever they can to make a profit in these times

I notice on my SD feed the TWC logo on the L bar does not line up with the logo on the TWC feed.
It's showing to the left and top behind the logo on the L Bar.
Is this how it normally is?

Wow, you have the same Intellistar that I have. The headend is from Newark, though, I don't think Teterboro has their own Fios headend. Does your intellistar look like this? And yes, I saw this a few weeks ago and it was out of place. Not only that,but the local forecast keeps kicking in 5 seconds late.

Newark Intellistar 3/3 8-8-11

Everything Else Classic TWC / Re: Dan Chandler outside of TWC

You won't beleve this, but I found Dan Chandler (with his face shown) doing an educational special on trains. He hosts this made-for-video presientation from 1994 called Railroads of North America.
Railroads of North America
I'm not sure whether or not if this was his only non-TWC voice-over spots or not. I think he should come back to TWC! 

I know another voice-over he has done recently, though I'm not sure if I should disclose it.

I do agree with your list but Kiss of Life isn't on primetime, I think you mean Aperture. They erroneously labeled Aperture as Kiss of Life on Primetime.

I couldn't sleep as I've been thinking about a lot of things, so I listened to this entire playlist and ranked my top ten songs from it:

• Whisper to Me - 7and5
• Aperture - Ryan Farish
• Breath In - 7and5
• Villa by the Sea - Russ Freeman
• I'm Waiting for You - Jackiem Joyner
• Exotica - Paul Taylor
• Down by the Ocean - Chris Geith
• Never Look Back - 7and5
• Distanza - Greg Minnick
• Who Now Do You Love - Shaun Brock

Once again, I feel like my view of music is so different compared to everyone else.  I couldn't find a single song that I liked on the primetime and overnight lists, yet you all could.  Furthermore, I think this playlist is worse overall than the last one, but you all think the opposite.  In some ways, the beginning of my #1 song really describes how I feel about this matter and my life sometimes.  Am I really that weird when it comes to musical tastes?

Nah, it's no big deal. Everyone has different musical tastes.    Here is my revised favorites and worsts list:

Where is it?

The only way i could see the :08 and :38 2 minutes coming back is if Tru View Max Traffic is added. about the LBar i was told it was a test and viewer input was needed to either (keep it or remove it by the testing group) so anything other than that is pure speculation.

Your source? We should go by confirmation, not what one sees

I will find out and check myself..I am skeptical that the reversion back to full screen locals is permanent. Something just doesn't seem right here.

Don't you love how you're taking an exam, and all of a sudden you panic and blank out? As a result, you forget the questions when you knew how to do them before in class and/or in the homework. I have such terrible test anxiety, taking exams has been difficult for me now. It's not really the time that's the cause but just the whole exam setting. I can't seem to handle it anymore.

Have you considered talking to your professor about a specialized test-taking environment, or an extended test-taking time period? That could really help you out.

Yeah, this happened while I was taking my sociology and algebra exams. I did take them under extended test-taking but I have terrible anxiety where I just can't look at exams. I failed all my exams in all my classes so far, but I am doing very well with the quizzes and homework, so I really want to fix that. :/

So if the L-Bar forecast is gone, does this mean regular locals are returning. TWC needs to make up their minds on what they are going to do unless they are still "testing" whatever the heck they were testing.

I'll tell you what they were testing... they were testing a loaded baked potato hock-loogie Mariokart Wii cheddar cheese and sour cream beef dog corn  .

The locals are already back. I just wish they would make the :38 and :08 flavors back to 2 minutes. Doubt they'll do it but it doesn't hurt with viewer feedback.

Well I hope that's the case. And twc didn't listen to our changes in regard to jazz music. There is still primetime, morning and overnight we have to deal with. I'm sure if twc listened, we would be having 35 song jazz playlists back now
