Wow, I can't believe that dumb movie Ice Age is actually being advertised on TWC. I am so sick and tired of the advertisements for that movie. Now they are doing a Local Forecast Sponsor for it, and it has a motion ad, which is so annoying. I didn't realize money was THAT important to TWC.
That's the most important thing to ANY business.
Thank you Captain Obvious, as if I didn't know that.
Whoa-- please, loose the attitude.  I do NOT appreciate it.  Thanks

You made it seem like money wasn't that important to TWC.. I might have taken the wrong way..sorry.
I was merely pointing out in my post that you felt you needed to correct that TWC has become desperate.

Wow, TWC just showed a CBS News report! That was unexpected...

TWC has been showing a lot of "news" stuff lately that may not necessarily be related to the weather (although they manage to find some way to make the connection). :thinking: I'm guessing this is all thanks to you know who. :unsure:

That wasn't why I posted that, I was pointing out the fact that they used a CBS News report when TWC is an NBC-owned channel. I figured TWC would be relying on solely NBC stuff by now. Before tonight, I haven't seen a CBS report since like October.

I guess I shouldn't have replied to your post. I was trying to point out something different but both misled you and misunderstood you. My bad. :blushing:

TWC just had a timing error. The :10 segment abruptly cut off at :14 without any awareness of the cut-off by the OCMs. The TWC ad aired at :15, and the LDA cut into that ad on the HD feed. The LF ran at :16, with the Planner starting at :18 and the segment ending at :21. They extended the Business Barometer segment at :23 by adding some forecasts after it to get back on track time-wise. (allowing the segment to run until :25, the normal out time for the segment)

I see TWC took the Al Roker link off of http://www.weather.com/tv/personalities/ since they didn't even have his bio or even a picture of him ready. I wonder when he'll pop back up on there again.

Also just now, they showed video from WSEE-TV in Erie, a CBS affiliate. Seems NBC is letting TWC have a little more individuality.  :thinking:

They've recently had a feed from KDKA too. No biggie there.

CBS News? Thats interesting. Would have expected a CBS affiliate but not that

They've been using reports from all networks. But their contracts with non-NBCs might be forced into nonrenewal.
