It has been noted that Abrams and Bettes, ever since the start of YWT with A&B the first two weeks, will never be in the same studio again for more than a week at a time. The closest they have come is this week with four straight days, but Bettes just HAD to take off this morning... Discuss.

I just saw a commercial on TWC telling me to vote Jack Jackson for Missouri State Senator......why was this on TWC? 

This was seen on DirecTV.

Confusing......

EDIT: It's confusing because it was shown on the national feed, not that it was shown on TWC.

It sounds like a local insert, though I honestly didn't know that was possible on DirecTV.  I highly doubt a Missouri state senator would pay for a commercial to run in 49 states it didn't need to run in.

Storm Alert LDL just came on.

EDIT: As I am typing, it disappears. No national LDL as of 1:17 PM CDT.

It's not storm alert. It's red mode.

Yeah, something weird was going on with the LDL. TWC accidently cued the national one and then the red one for TD Bonnie...it even came with the radar insert. :blink:

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but I was watching a program on the History Channel today, and during a section of the program there was background music. This music sounded identical to the Tropical Update music, however it sounded like a longer cut. In the linked video (property TWCFreak), the part of the music I heard can be heard between the beginning of the video and the 5 second mark. Interesting, as I thought that this piece was made specifically for the Weather Channel, and this show originally aired in February '09.
