Other shows should eventually see new music from what I have been told. Almost curious if WC will get a graphics update like YWT
Probably not since WC's graphics were just changed about a year ago.

sounds like they're bringing back a chimed theme back, perhaps....i guess we'll have to wait for the rest of the show packages to show up.

i like it.  :biggrin:

Careful jumping the gun on that one... Evening Edition and A&B did not follow the 9 note chime in the 2008 relaunch. They had their own unique thing going on.

Actually, Evening Edition did (even though the beat was faster).

I like the new music, a welcome change. It's kind of weird with the sound effects layered in, but they may change that. I wouldn't mind if they DID redo all of the music tracks with that little chime on the end of the WC intro, it's nice and not complicated. In two side notes, I noticed YWT doesn't use its new music much, if at all...can't complain, it sucked >_>...and PM Edition seems to be using 25th Anniversary music occasionally...odd.

None of the shows are using their own music... except WC who has debuted new music. I have a feeling since YWT and WC have new music, the other shows could get some as well. It's slowly spreading.

wait, none of the shows are using their original sound tracks anymore?? the hell? that's stupid, if they were smart...they'd have to new tracks set and ready to go before discontinuing the original.

does anyone have the PM Edition Intro with the 25th anniversary music instead of the original, i'm interested as to how well that fits.

I actually like that music playing as the new music theme on PME. The more I hear it, the more it sounds similar to the original HD music that was being used.

It's been like that on all the shows except for PM Edition and Weather Center since January of last year. As for the former 25th anniversary music, that's generally only used on weekends I believe.

No, I notice it every day. Moreso at the top of the hour, though this week I've also been noticing it at the bottom of the hour too.

What the :censored: TWC? You'll air pics of cars for iWitness, but not a video of lightning I sent in? I worked hard on capturing it. <_<

I'm not surprised Zach, unfortunately. They only seem to care about what is relevant to the current programming of the time. It's nearly impossible to get anything of yours featured on-air. I have no idea how two twitter comments (one of which Nicole Mitchell based a segment on) and a Facebook comment of mine made it on-air.

does anyone happen to have the show logos that were posted on TWCMediaKit before the revamp of the website?
