They all have, but the other shows are not really using it yet. Weather Center and YWT seem to be the only ones really utilizing it.
And PME. ;) Unless they still use the 2008 one at times. :unsure:
They are just using the 25th anniversary theme

Right, but a modified version.

I don't think HiRAD has anything to do with it, they just forgot to put the data in.

Why doesn't TWC show local on the 8s during preemptions anymore? All they show is a one minute forecast at the top and bottom of the hour.

If I recall it has something to do with the fact they schedule LFs ahead of  time so when it comes time to preemptions they have to cancel out the programming schedule and automatic lfs. Its just easier for them I guess

Wasn't it like this back then though when preemptions occurred? :unsure:

Yeah, before TWC became lazy, they actually aired LF's every ten minutes on the 8's.

I heard one that sounded like the volume was going in and out on both SD and HD.

I saw it live and couldn't seem to notice all that much different about it. I'll trim a clip later on this evening (downstairs at the moment).

Looks like Mike already beat me to it:
