General TWC Discussion

[G2003]

At 5:47 PM CT, my cable company aired an old Weekend View promo (I can tell because the video quality is not as good and the audio was lower). This promo, included Stephanie Abrams in it. Don't know why their airing it, because Stephanie is no longer on Weekend View. :-\

Well local commercials do air on TWC at :17 and :47 past the hour, so I'd say it was a commercial from the cable company. Not too long ago, my cable company aired an old Storm Stories commercial which still had the old 8:00 PM ET time on it.

I'm telling you, the cable co.'s don't air TWC promos.

Bingo.

At least someone believes me.

The only way the cable co. aired that Head On commercial is ifat the end it said something to the efffect of "available at the following retailers". Otherwise, it was a national commercial, hence aired by TWC.

I believe it did.

LOL. That only means that both of you are likely wrong.

What do you know? j/k I believe I saw a tail end of another commercial at the end of that Weekend View promo (which I notice almost always happens on cable company aired commercials), so I still believe it was aired by my cable company.

IF it was aired by your cable company, it was in error. I know cable co.operations inside and out. They do not run advertisments for channels they carrry. Think about that last sentence. Doesn't it make sense that they wouldn't do that?

I still think it was aired by my cable company. Why? Like I said before. The quality was considerably lower than promos aired by TWC, and I saw a tail end of another commercial at the end of the promo. Unless, TWC ruined the quality themselves, which is very unlikely.

I've seen it before. I once saw a local advertisement for a show on The History Channel on TWC.

That's much different, and also notdone by the cable company. In fact, its quite common to see promos for channels aired on channels other than the channel being promoted.

Stephen, considering we're talking about TWC here, I'd like to know how you came to the conclusion that its notpossible that TWC ruined the quality of the clip itself.

Because I've seen the Weekend View promos aired by TWC, and the quality is not as bad as the one that I saw tonight (which I still believe was aired by my cable company).

I guess your not considering the age factor. You said that the promo you saw was (and I quote) an old one.

[Stephen]

I know it's old. But it's not old enough to have that quality that I saw it had.

You weren't even pushing the quality issue until I told you that local commecials often have lower quality.

I did say it in my first post about that promo:

At 5:47 PM CT, my cable company aired an old Weekend View promo (I can tell because the video quality is not as good and the audio was lower). This promo, included Stephanie Abrams in it. Don't know why their airing it, because Stephanie is no longer on Weekend View. Undecided

Regardless, I promise you it was not aired by the cable co. I know how things work in the cable companies, they do not promote for their channels. Its not their job.

I know for a fact that that History Channel ad I saw on TWC was inserted by the cable company because it listed the channel number for the History Channel on the ad.
