Let's not forget a childrens cartoon weather show, a game show and Law and Order. Maybe some adult late night programming too

Cool, I hope Emily forms! We desperately need the rain ad well, but certainly not the wind damage or storm surges

But why would that matter? They've been doing this for over a decade, so why would they suddenly stop putting the playlists on a monthly basis?

It's been said time and time again...the average viewer doesn't care. And with viewership on a steady decline, music should be the least of their worries.

If the average viewer doesn't care, then maybe they shouldn't have changed the playlists with rock music, a morning daypart and extra songs, then. Could've just left the playlists back to where they used to be..

if TWC ever can't make a playlist due to money issues they should just revert to Network Music Playlists.

Has nothing to do with money... the average viewer doesn't wait every first day of the month for a playlist. We should be grateful that TWC at least puts out a playlist every two months, with songs that we haven't heard in awhile.

But why would that matter? They've been doing this for over a decade, so why would they suddenly stop putting the playlists on a monthly basis? Whether it'd be money or Picard being lazy with his job, there probably has to be a more sensible reason. In all honesty, I just think they're doing random playlists simply because they don't have enough new songs to fill a playlist in one month's time. They're being more selective with music, so it would probably make sense to go monthly only if they brought back the 35 song jazz playlists. Just look at primetime, it's all (primarily) repeats, clearly if they went back to monthlies, the primetime list would be completely composed of repeats, and probably the same for the morning list, too.

OCMs & Personalities / Re: Speaking of salaries

« on: July 27, 2011, 12:29:36 PM »

I really hate to bump this topic, but I have been wondering lately, how much does Jim Cantore make? I would probably imagine he had to take several pay cuts to stay with TWC. Also, what is the average starting salary of a new OCM? I do know that ABC's Sam Champion makes around $1.5 million, would Cantore be paid in the millions?

The Game Room / LF Music Title Game

« on: July 26, 2011, 07:08:01 PM »

This was a game that I originally started in my old game forum. Basically, try to construct a sentence consisting with LF music titles or their artists. Here's an example to start off:

Paul Tegel asks a lot of questions because his moment of truth requires truth, simplicity and love.

Neither, because they both can cause tremendous damage.

Exit 16 or Tee Time by Kenny Carr?

You can't choose neither as an answer - has to be yes or no.

and Walk Don't Run. M Pwered or Back to Basics by Marcus Anderson?
