General TWC Discussion

I have a feeling that the LDLs they're using now are hybrids between the normal blue LDLs and the red LDLs..

Here's a wider view of the studio


On an unrelated note, TWC did a new segment on the 17th that had 50's TV style to it,

I have a feeling that's as close to "storm alert" you're going to get... It's not exactly a category 3 storm, so I don't think we're going to get the music... We already have the special opener though.

At 3am they used the storm coverage graphic has a lower third.

Half-assed, and made at the last minute. I dislike the lower third.

[toxictwister00]

I think that lower third is based off that bug they use during a developing/breaking news at the top left. It looks similar to it.

On another note about the red lit studio, anybody find it interesting they did that, but didn't do it for Irene? Seems rather peculiar, but maybe since the threat shifted towards New Orleans and the all too coincidental timing of Isaac around Katrina's 7th anniversary this Wednesday they felt they needed too just in case it does try to intensify quickly.

EDIT: I noticed the Global Forecast Center is now red as well, it wasn't yesterday evening.

Ooo, just heard the 2008-2010 morning sponsor teaser music!

I thought I heard that too!  And in regards to the "half assed" white and red lower third, I think it looks a heck of a lot better than those distracting and chintzy looking "lower 3rds" they had on the other day that used a similar background as the "Tracking Isaac" bug.

Here's the updated list of reporter locations,

It must only be with my Charter headend, but TWC has been down for the past 2 hours (only a black screen with the words: ONE MOMENT PLEASE This channel should be available shortly.)

[IceManNYR]

The extra red is gone from the GFC.

They added blue to the the wall.

[toxictwister00]

This is another area that has been lit red and blue since yesterday.
