Title: 1 Minute 30 Second Flavors
Post by: LFMusicRocks on November 15, 2007, 01:57:43 AM
Do you all like the 1 Minute and 30 second flavors in which the commercials pop up after the Local Forecast? I certainly don't

You said you didn't like it, but didn't provide a reason why. That's why I said "What's wrong with it?"

It's just that the commercials are just annoying and I liked the 2 minute flavors at that time. Plus I need to see the temperature on my Satellite Black bar for San Francisco and it shouldn't stop at Portland, OR, but the usual way the 2 minute flavor goes stops at Alberquerque and Atlanta

I want the two minute forecasts back at :18/:48 so I can see my regional maps again.

I have the same problem. Do you occasionally get the regional maps at :28/:58? I sometimes do.

Regional maps? That only comes during the 1 minute flavor.

Usually after that show 100 Biggest Weather Moments, the commute for cities comes and the regional thing comes and it is a 1 minute 30 second flavor

Oh yeah. I forgot about that.

I was refering to the regional forecast map. I only see it if my traffic products aren't working, which is a very rare occurence. The regional conditions showing during one minute flavors isn't enough.

I see the regional forecast when the marine forecast isn't working, which has only happened once. See here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNUtfYALM_o

They should at least edit the 1:30 forecast to show regional maps. I think they should also remove the traffic segments on that forecast to make way for more weather related screens on this short flavor.

A lineup like this would be good:

Current Conditions
Regional Conditions
Regional Doppler
Local Doppler (when necessary)
Air Quality Forecast**
Daypart Forecast*
Today's/Tonight's Metro Forecast*
Today's/Tonight's Regional Forecast
Tonight's/Tomorrow's Regional Forecast
24-36 Hour Forecast
3-day Forecast

* These screens would be replaced with the local doppler when precipitation is present.
** If the Star doesn't have air quality screen, outdoor activity/schoolday forecast would show instead.

To my perspective on Satellite they should use the usual stuff, but should not use the radar/ satellite past 3 hours image that looks like the one that is played :28 and :58 on. The :18 and :48 should use the radar/ satellite image which actually goes through the  2 minute flavor used at :08 and :38 flavor.

Have you contacted TWC on that?
