General TWC Discussion

[Donovan]

You have got to be kidding me. This is the BEST they can do? I'm sorry for not being so welcoming and what not, but this is just amateur for TWC. I don't even know who would allow a background like that to be used. Seriously, it looks like a Sci-Fi show from the late 20th century. They need to get the old graphics director or designers from the HD launch. I feel that was when the graphics were the best.

I'm really surprised how much the Vortex2 project inspired TWC to keep doing these tornado chases.  That vehicle is quite expensive.  The only thing missing is a small radar antenna like you see on bigger vehicles.

TWC is back to using multiple OCMs for Weather Center Live weekdays.
Yesterday they used 3 OCMs 5pm-7pm, 7pm & 10pm.
Today they are using Chris, Crystal, Alex and Danielle for 7pm.

TWC is not using the regular studio 11am through the evening Saturday and the table in the other studio is way to big.

They need a small desk.

I don't know if this means TWC is gaining support of their current direction or getting flamed by viewers with complaints but here's the stats i found on their facebook page.

There was an odd glitch at 10pm. The screen was stuck on a sponsored by graphic then went to the emergency off the air feed then back to the sponsored by graphic before going to Weather Center Live.
The national LDL was not working on the HD and SD feeds for the first segment and is back for 10:10pm.

The Weather Channel's power play: Attempt at domain name grab has competition crying monopoly

perhaps that has something to do with the "weather.com" being removed from the logo?

I don't think my eyes are playing tricks on me, TWC liked a post about a fan hating the vocal music on the 8's

Alex, your posts about the vocal music are starting to become rather repetitive.  I think you need to move on to other points.  TWC has already made up their mind on what they will do, and constantly talking about it won't help matters.

Patrick, I'm not the only member that is not watching TWC anymore because of their vocal music, and most of my post haven't been repetitive they have been showing all sorts of reasons their current direction stinks.

if you don't like the way i post I'm sorry but my views are my own and you don't have to agree with them.

now back on topic here's what Grist had to say about Hacking the Planet

I'll have to a agree with Patrick. It seems like you're always complaining about TWC and their vocal music. It's been very repetitive, and I think it's time to move on, honestly.

Alright, now I must intervene so that a fight doesn't arise.  Alex, I'm not the only one making this request to you.  I received a few complaints from other members.  You have the right to express your opinions, but you've been doing it quite a lot on the same things.  You have to realize a harsh reality:  TWC has made up its mind on where it wants to go, and none of us can do anything about it.  You have to move on.  It's just that simple.

Now, I'd like all of us to focus on more positive things and realize that constant complaining will not solve anything.  It's why I'm trying to pursue expanding the forum topics here with the other moderators and administrators.  Just because the current version of TWC may be lackluster doesn't mean we can discuss other aspects of the network.  Please listen to this advice, or I'll take more serious actions.

I very much agree with Patrick   

Simply complaining to TWC about their music and programming directions isn't going to change anything    We the viewers just need to accept whatever the network heads throw our way now or next, even if it sounds terrible to some. I myself have grown used to the network's changes, even though I watch a little less of the channel now then I used to
