Complete change of TWC hourly program schedule
« on: May 18, 2009, 01:17:14 PM »
Not only did the IS flavors change today, but now during Day Planner, all LFs except the :28 and :58 are only one minute long, and there is now an extra minute of advertising after the :08 and :38 LFs (which are actually starting at :09 and :39 right now), so the DP segment doesn't start until :11 and :41. Great, they took away more weather content and replaced it with flippin' ads. (at least an extra 4 minutes of ads per hour, maybe more)

Not sure if this will apply to all shows or just the shows that use this program format (DP, PME, Sunrise Weather)

Are there ads after the :18/:48 LF's? If not, I don't see the need for those being shortened to a minute.

It's worth noting that the top and bottom of the hour segments now run a extra minute longer, until about :07 and :37, respectively (at least that's what happened during the first hour of DP today).

They're back to using the old schedule for PME today. I wonder if it's going to vary or if this new schedule will be exclusive to DP.

So we have 3 minute flavors again like the 4000 had?

I've been thinking that the new schedule only takes affect on the slow-paced shows like Day Planner, overnight Weather Center, and the weekend shows. We'll see what happens tomorrow...

I noticed commercials playing after the LOT8s. This is a huge change for me.
And yay...pointless ads. <_<

Did the LOT8s (I mean, LOT9's) played before the 11:10AM segment of DP? it was :08 and nothing played at all or maybe they played it earlier.  :hmm:
