All of the green ads you've been seeing on TWC since yesterday aren't random; this year, TWC is going to be a part of NBC's Green Week, and as a result, TWC is going to be promoting environmental friendliness like crazy next week, according to the ads that launched today, and they will also be airing special weekday episodes of Forecast Earth (it better be during current long-form slots is all I'm saying). Like the rest of the NBC family, they might even turn the TWC logo green. (if they update the Intellistars to do this)
-
More Forecast Earth? JUST WHAT I WANTED!
-
...TWC is going to be promoting environmental friendliness like crazy next week...
And this is different from any other week because....? :lol:
-
It looks like the extra Forecast Earth episodes will be airing at 2PM Eastern in place of the ICHT hour.

NBC's Green website (greenisuniversal.com) is now sporting the TWC logo underneath it's NBCU "Green Sites," except for one thing - the TWC logo turns gray upon a rollover, not green like the other logos. MY question is, why not? I think the TWC logo looks good green (or on the commercials, at least).
-
Let's just say a certain someone told me that the TWC logo (Istar LDL logo) WILL be green, as well as "other things" (he couldn't confirm what that meant, though). :biggrin:
-
Flippin SWEET.
-
I was looking at the list of sites and I saw Maury and Jerry Springer... haha. What, is someone gonna have a problem with driving their gas-guzzling car and they need to go to Maury about it?! :p
-
Still nothing as of the "new day" that started at 5 AM ET. I wonder when they're going too implement it. I was expecting a special top-of-the-hour bumper and everything, but no dice.
-
I saw a Local on the 8's opener with the green TWC logo, and the mention of NBCU..don't know if this is old or not.. :P

My guess is this will only happen during the week, therefore starting Monday.
-
Yeah, I think everything starts tomorrow.
-
All IntelliSTARs now have green logo. Its ugly on the blue LDL. Maybe they should make the whole LDL green as well. Weatherscans also have green logo as well All background colors stayed.

What!? Could you get a screenshot of Weatherscan?
-
Dont have a Tuner. Like i said, its just the TWC Square Box that changed green on Weatherscan, everything else stayed the same color.
-
Very first video of the green logo appearing on the local forecast: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhlvEBzxUbI
-
Here's a logo I made: :sing:
-
Man I wish NBC didn't acquire TWC.
Can someone provide a screencap of Weatherscan w/ the green logo? I don't have it on basic cable here. I'll take a camera pic or from a tuner.
-
Man I wish NBC didn't acquire TWC.
...because they're changing the logo color to green for a week? I think the NBC purchase has been good thus far, and I foresee a better future for TWC. :twothumbs:

couldn't get my slingbox working, so here you go. Taken with my cell phone... unusual quality, but good to go :biggrin:

Here it is with a crawl...

Thanks Jesse. I wasn't expecting Weatherscan to get this update. This marks the first graphical update in nearly two years.
They should probably change the Weatherscan logo green too. It looks kinda awkward the way it is now.

They changed the logo on the crawls, too? Now that's surprising.
-
as long as its only temporary as Tyler says, I can live with it. :yes:
-
all TWC has to really do is upload a new TWC logo, that's pretty much it. No coding changes whatsoever, so crawls, LDL, weatherscan, etc... simple change. I don't know if the XL, 4000, or the Satellite was updated.
-
Looks like weather.com is going green too. They're using this year's Earth Day banner. :yes:
But why is Green Week during November??? :blink: Shouldn't be in the spring around Earth Day, or do they want it as far away from that event as possible?
-
Might have something to do with NBC wanting to promote it during Sunday Night Football... :noexpression:

In that case, I've modified the Warning Crawls with the TWC Green Logo.

WeatherPlus' logo hasn't changed. I'm not surprised though seeing that channel will be gone soon.

Ewwwww. No thank you. :lol: :P :sick:

You mean hot and sexy, right? :biggrin:

For the colorblind, perhaps. :P :rofl:

Try this.

Better, but still not something I'd put on the site. :D
-
Gary, can your "source" tell you an exact time when the green is universal campaign is going to end? I need to know so I can record my Weatherscan rebooting.
-
I would expect the same time it started: 8 PM ET, possibly 7 PM ET since that's when Football Night in America begins. Be ready around either time, IMO.
-
I would heed Steve's advice. I have not seen Patrick (my source) yet today and don't know if I will since its Sunday. If I do get in touch with him, though, I'll be sure to ask and let you know.
-
It might be overnight, green logo still on past 8 pm.
-
No, NBC & MSNBC are back to normal as of 8PM E.

He was talking about TWC (TWC's logo is still green). ;)
-
Hmm, then I guess TWC's logo will be green until 4AM. I have my VCR programmed to record at 3AM and 4AM on Weatherscan just in case this was going to happen at those times.
-
back to blue at Midnight ET!
