A break from those annoying WWCH lf openers!!
« on: February 15, 2008, 06:56:57 PM »
And now they're showing those simple "Now, from The Weather Channel, here's your Local on the 8's" bumpers from the August 2005 relaunch.

I've seen three so far.  The nighttime one where a man walks out of a thunderstorm and into sun, the one where the woman walks out of a nice spring day and through a snowstorm, and the sunset one where a man walks through a storm.

I've gotten quite tired of those "When Weather Changed History" openers, which have been running since mid-November.  Because of this, there was no "Happy Holidays" bumper this past Christmas.  WWCH is one of TWC's most popular series ever.  I think all this promoting played a role in that, too.

Enjoy the classic bumpers while you still can!

Well, those classic LF openers didn't last long  :(

Those annoying WWCH bumpers are back.

It was fun while it lasted.

Why do they keep showing the WWCH openers? If ratings for that show are high, there's no need to keep showing them.
