This is a very interesting situation, to say the least.

I guess next time I see my TWC blank, I should stay up and discuss it :P

I don't know what's been said...but right now it's about 2-3 min. with an OCM then Trammell-ized Sat. Local, with the 98-06 icons.

I'm rolling the DVR right now...this is interesting.

I'm seeing the same thing you are tpir. You can tell things aren't normal-the very limited on-air time looks like its of the thrown-together-just-to-get-something-on-the-air variety.

As tpir said, its about 2-3mins of OCM time and then a satellite lf. An interesting thing that I've noticed is that the OCM's do not refer to the program by name when they come on the air. For example, at this time of day they'd normally start by saying something like "This is your Weather Today, and I'm Heather Tesch". Instead they simply are saying "Thanks for watching TWC". The other thing I've noticed is that graphics are very limited. The black bar has (obviously) been gone, no lower third graphics, and no name bar when they identify themselves. Finally, I've noticed that the oin-air presentation has been limited to a nationwide look at the radar, and the same nationwide look at the sat/rad. For all intents and purposes its nothing more than an OCM narrating a satellite LF.

EDIT: Saw some commercials for the first time since I tuned in at the top of the 8 o'clock hour.

Has anyone else heard a faint hum or buzz during the OCM segments?

I hope we see Dave today with this mess...that would be verrrry neat to watch.

Woah...commercials at 8:46.  The Claritin TWC extra narrated thing didn't narrate, though.

Yep now that you mention it me too.

Tyler, watch your P's and Q's today. Be VERY careful. That's all I'm going to tell you. One wrong word will likely get you banned.

And I believe TWC might be officially back. At 9:59 PM ET the satellite LF went black for a minute, then then new satellite LF flashes, then Day Planner starts with teasers then. Looks like the control room is back and functioning!

Hey, someone bothered to keep us informed!  <_<

Yeah everything looks normal again except the Lf, which is still showing the satellite feed. The audio feed, however, seems to be restored as Trammell has stopped playing.

Satellite LF at 10:18 AM, then music feed switches midway during the LF.

I just want to take a moment to thank you all for your wonderful participation during this event. Really. If it wasn't for you guys, TWCT would've been COMPLETLEY in the dark. Not that we weren't already close enough. After all a 9 page thread versus a 40+ page thread really seems to tell the story, but I'll let you all draw your own conclusions on that. Of course, that in itself isn't a huge letdown, after all TWCC has a far bigger (and apparently more loyal) member base than we. No, the big kicker here is that all 40+ pages over there came from my own members.  I sat here this morning watching Billy go to town over there, wondering if he had forgotten that we exist.

BTW, I'm not expecting clips of this from anyone. Surely TWCC needs them more. After all, they apparently can't let go of current TWC stuff. What losers.  <_<
