Did you capture this?? for sure it must have been a dedication to me if they were talking about the temps here and used a diff. bg :bleh:

Is it just me or does the font used on the lower thirds seem a little more faint than usual?

They are using grey instead of the normal black.

I saw a promo for TWC Prime Time. I think it could be part of the schedule changes.
I am so confused about what this whole thing means.

I've been checking my guide (since one of the perks of these HD boxes is that the guide goes out two weeks), and I don't see anything different  :dunno:

The change might take a couple days to a week to take effect on cable boxes because they were already scrambled before showing Storm Stories @ 5 around the end of 2010.

My cable box TV Guide with Charter only goes out 48 hours or so, so I can't see anything that far in advance.

We have established that the WC and PME themes are library pieces, right?  Fox News used them both yesterday.

Do NBC and FOX have some sort of joint or agreement? I see promos about my local Detroit FOX station often on TWC.

Are you sure what you're seeing aren't local ad insets broadcasted by your headend?
