TWC is going to show the "Super Preview of The Amazing Spider Man" Sometime tonight according to a Networks of NBC promo.
Well that makes sense, because Spider Man has everything to do with weather.  Wait..  Ugh. :rolleyes:  I guess I shouldn't be surprised at this point.

I agree, I'm certainly not.

Looks like the Ad-Space on the bottom left of Weather Center Live is showing the Spiderman preview time at 9:45pm EDT.

It's being shown at 9:45pm ET.
All they are doing is running a long movie trailer during a commercial break.

Since there are more summer blockbusters coming i wouldn't be surprised if this happens more often.

This isn't the first time TWC has done this.  They heavily advertised the "Smurfs" movie last year.

Since I do not see a topic for the TWC mobile app, I'll just post this here...

Today, version 5.0.0 of the TWC mobile app was released, and it is a COMPLETE overhaul of what is was previously.  Some of the most notable changes include a photo background for the current conditions instead of an icon (like on weather.com...this seems to be a popular thing now), a camera button on the "Now" page to automatically take you to your camera to take a weather picture, the new weather.com icons, different map navigation, and of course, an easier way to share the weather on Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Overall, I think it's pretty nice. :thumbsup:

Nice... and free. Sucks if you shelled out the $5 a couple years ago and always get the new version months after the free one comes out.  :club:
