I'll probably get slapped for saying this, but anyone think of emulating this?

My TV Guide still shows Day Planner, Weekend View, Weekend Now and First Forecast/On The Radar. When will TWC update there TV Listings?

My opinion about the Relaunch:
On-Air Graphics: C+.  Maps are way too simple. Are they still using TruVu? I already miss the old graphics. I do somehow like the new show openers. No one has uploaded the new WCL/WUWA/MR openers yet. These graphics will eventually be outdated in about 2 years.
Intellistar Graphics: A-. The IS really needed new graphics to replace the outdated 2007 graphics. I like it. I'm astonished that the IS could display those graphics.
Schedule: F. You already know.
LDL: B. The LDL should of displayed the Current Temperature at all times, Almanac and ID should of return. I like how the LDL is displayed 24/7 except for Local Inserts. The HD LDL needs to be displayed during Long-Form.
Set: A-

Saw this happen yesterday:

White squares instead if icons (in some instances):
New Intellistar 2 HD with bad icons


Then the IS2 displayed the local weather, but without a local background:
Local Intellistar 2 over National video


After that, the national Lot8s was shown:
National Local on the 8s


I'm left to assume there was a software update and a reboot of some kind.

At 2:18 ET there was no LOT8s, but instead a live weather update with the LDL. I'm guessing this will be a weekend-only thing?  :dunno:

I apologize if this isn't something new but it looked different to me...

I just saw a Weather Channel map on NBC Nightly News and the map wasn't all white... There's a gold/brown color on the top that fades to white toward the bottom. I wonder if this is exclusive to NBC, who maybe thought the all-white map is too plain, or something else.

Strange how some people are getting a transparent LDL during programming, here I'm getting the blue one.

SD gets the blue bar, HD is transparent.

That makes sense, since it allows the widescreen program to not be letterboxed in the classic sense while still maintaining proportion.  On the other hand, it doesn't look so pretty.  :(

I really don't care for the graphics.  Too generic looking.

If anyone from twc actually reads these forums...

They mentioned they will be having live severe weather coverage from 4:30 am to 9:30 pm at least, will this be national or just regional with the dual feed? I tried asking on twitter.. no response.

By the tweets I've seen, I think TWC will go national which is what they should do.  BTW, nice Red Mode WCL Open at 5AM CT!

red mode looks great, except for the blue background on the L bar.. I thought in the previews it was supposed to turn black/gray. would look a lot better. maybe It'll change during the day once they get into breaking weather mode.
