The whole staying home thing is BS. I understand the seriousness of the virus, but shutting the country down for a month is insane. Millions have already lost their job and business are having to close permanently (kind of hard to stay open with no money coming in). I hope every politician that supported this loses their job in November.

This is awesome! I've never seen some of these BTF and segment backdrops.

I still vividly remember the day TWC lost power back in the mid 2000s. There was a thread on my now defunct message board that had 10 pages of posts the evening it happened. When I checked it out the next morning, it had exploded to 60 pages! I guess you could say that that thread went "viral" before "going viral" was a thing.

Unfortunately, it seems like a lot of fans of the past have moved on to other things. I still post new content to TWCC almost every week, though!

Based on the user name, you can probably listen to the full version of many of their other songs.

Local Forecast / Re: "December Snow" by Dover

« on: April 12, 2019, 07:20:24 PM »

I managed to get a hold of Timothy Bright, the artist behind Dover, on this site.  Long story short, he lost the masters to his two songs that played in 1998 many years ago. So I guess we can add them to the "never to be found" list, like "Hello There" and many others during that time frame.

Dang! I've always liked the Christmas one.

OCMs & Personalities / Bill Evans

Does anyone know who Bill Evans is? I got an email from someone asking about his whereabouts. Not being familiar with the name, I assume he joined TWC in recent years.

It's only been used for one day so far. It went back the normal playlist very next day. It was the same vocal Christmas music that has been used before.

That's weird. Must have been a test or mistake.

Wow, this has to be a record! Any idea what songs they're playing? (I don't subscribe to TWC.)

I also just think, frankly, that they're realizing that there's little point (generally beyond this group) in having a full local forecast every ten minutes during live coverage when you can get the exact same thing (and more) on the phone, tablet, or laptop in front of you.

...unless you're someone like my step-dad who almost never uses the internet, but always needs weather information because of his job.

Curious, is the cutoff year for TWCC 2005 now, seeing the playlists section has been updated? If so I could provide you with my clips from 2002-05... let me know.

Yes, there is no official cutoff year anymore. I'll just post whatever I find worth sharing. So if you have clips of any songs I'm missing, I could definitely use them. Thanks!

I have found the 2005 Hurricane Season Theme. There was already a full track somewhere on YouTube, however it's from VideoHelper - Lawrence Of Astoria - VH012

Woah, for a second there I thought you had found the "Alert Mode" theme.
