Just caught a new Hurricane Season 2008 ad
« on: May 26, 2008, 07:43:55 PM »
From the glimpse I caught, it looks disgustingly Fox News-ish. Way too flashy and cluttered; I'm not liking it.

It's about time they start some Hurricane ad stuff. Is the slogan the same?

Actually, they've switched back to the late 2005 slogan of "Your Hurricane Authority".

Oh dear. Here comes another season of taking 45 minutes an hour to analyze how quiet the tropics are, notcing the SLIGHTEST wave/wind changes in the Atlantic/Pacific/Carribean, sending out 10 OCMs to cover such a dangerous tropical wave, and heading into storm alert mode over a tropical depression, ALL IN HD TOO.

So let's enjoy the last week of Storm Watch in the spring while we're at it. Then it's all downhill this summer. :P

Even on Weather Gold, every year the Storm Watch headlines during the summer is "Storm Watch is on a hiatus this hurricane season." So apparently inactive oceans are much more important than nationwide tornado outbreaks in the summer.  <_<

Which technically, to TWC at least, doesn't even exist, because they no longer refer to the :50 segment as such, and they don't use those openers. And besides, sometimes the :50 pasts segments talk about other things besides Storm Watch.

I guess bailing out of watching TWC after their 05 relaunch and then coming back 3 years later doesn't help, Steve.  :lol:

Usage of the segment was limited to only severe weather/winter storms after the 2006 Hurricane Season, and the segment was eliminated entirely from regular usage after the 2007 Hurricane Season.

Just the other day, I recall seeing a "Storm Watch" graphic being used at :50 after the hour. I forget what show it was, though. :doh:
