Title: TWC using old openers in "Weather Channel Mobile"
Post by: G2003 on August 05, 2007, 01:39:09 PM

I've seen several old openers used in the commercial for Weather Channel Mobile, including the Weekly Planner 2002 opener with the
lady and the PDA. :)

Yeah, TWC does tend to re-use their old clips in newer openers/promos. :) For example, in the current (winter) Weather Center opener, they use the clip with the guy waiting on a train, which was also used on the winter 03-05 PM Edition opener. :yes:

I wouldn't consider THAT to be old. :P

Yeah that isn't exactly what I'd refer to as old either. I don't think I'd call anything after 03 old.

To me, OLD would reffer to a time prior to a/the relaunch.

And 2005 does not fit that qualification.

To put it in simpler terms, an old opener would be one that isnt used anymore, was from a previous "state" of TWC.

The one they are using now wasn't being used anymore. It hadn't been for nearly two years.

Not anymore. :no: Ever since they changed the master controlled hour of PM Edition Weekend format to the new format, they no longer air that opener.

I call almost anything seen on TWC for a good while old.
