Someone had to step forward and make this topic.
What's the point of it? Taking up more space and shrinking the screen size?
Like the one I just saw.
"MIDWEST RAIN"
OH MY GOD MIDWEST RAIN
RUN FOR YOUR LIFE AND DUCK INTO A HOUSE
NOT TO MENTION HIGHS IN THE DAKOTAS MIGHT BE 60S AND 70S........SO FASCINATING
Please spare me my life when hurricanes come rolling in.
-
I think it's an excuse for TWC to do less weather reporting and more hodgepodge.
-
I actually do not mind it. Whenever I am watching TWC, and they are talking about forecast earth, or whatever other nonsense that doesn't interest me, I can just look at my weather on the bottum of the screen :)

I agree with you 100% Timmy. It's so useless...why implement it? I know TWC covers too large of an area but they should focus on the IMPORTANT matters..not trivial weather events.

I agreed with two you. Since it's was added, TWC went downhill. What a boring idea to add it. At least there's were no Blue Bar of Doom 2 days ago (Saturday night). I actually do not mind it. Whenever I am watching TWC, and they are talking about forecast crap, or whatever other nonsense that doesn't interest me, I can just look at my weather on the bottum of the screen :)
Forecast Earth dosen't exist anymore.

I don't mind it either, I never pay it any attention anyway.

As much as I hate it, I've gotten quite used to it now and don't pay attention to it much anymore.
Forecast Earth dosen't exist anymore.
I'm pretty sure he knows, he's just giving an example.

That's a great point, and I am the same way as well. It is the same as the icons on the LF and the LF background. As much as I hate it (and believe me, I do hate it), I have become accustomed to it.

Thank You.
Hense, why I said "or whatever...." ;) And when quoting, why would you change the wording of what I wrote, doesn't make any sense to me.

I hate it. It clutters up the screen.
-
I'm glad everyone hate it. :happy: :thumbsup: It's always gets on my nerves. At least there were no blue bar of doom during the tropical update segements.

Oh, it's there... it's just modified :D

I think there is no reason to have that stupid bar on every single segment of the show. It's pointless.
-
If you look on the SD Feed, it might look pretty useful.
(http://i875.photobucket.com/albums/ab313/TWCZach/General%20TWC%20Pics/2009-06-17_071351.jpg)
But on the HD Feed, it looks pretty useless because it wastes space without an LDL. :thumbdown:
(http://i875.photobucket.com/albums/ab313/TWCZach/General%20TWC%20Pics/2009-06-17_071337.jpg)
So overall, I don't like it. :no:
-
:oops: :doh: Can someone PLEASE beat me upside the head. I feel like a complete Idiot. I thought you guys were talking about the LDL blue bar. I am so stupid.
Yes, I COMPLETELY agree, I do not like it (now that I actually know what "blue bar" you are talking about :P ). Definitely NOT necessary at all.
-

I agreed.
-
Well, I haven't seen a blue bar so far tonight on PM Edition. Do they usually show it this time of day?

No, they normally don't use it on PME Weekend Late.
-
See? Why do we need the Blue Bar when there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING GOING ON IN THE TROPICS.
Seriously, no one is in danger, and they throw the Blue Bar out like a category 5 hurricane is ready to pounce on the US.
-
Looks like they have discontinued that special blue bar they used for the Tropical Update; lately I've been seeing the generic one during that segment.
-
I noticed today the current temperature has moved from the first line next to the city name to the second line below the city name.
-
I think it only needs to be on the HD sattilite feed with the HD sidebar.
-

I disagree. Both of those need to be gone altogether.

*Felix Saenz agrees and gets rid of the BBOD and the sidebar on the air.

Hmm, I just thought of this. While I know you all think the blue bar is a waste of space and pointless, but what is it really covering? Nothing. It is not blocking any of the maps at all (most of the time). All it covers is the OCM's legs, which you wouldn't see if the OCM was at the key wall. Just saying..
-
we already have LDLs in most places idk why the weather channel would need this junk

Yes, but the way its designed is a distraction. That bar is designed to cover major weather events, like hurricanes, blizzards, etc. Why not just use a plain lower third if they want to shove current weather conditions or "so and so 101" in our faces? That's how it was at one point and I didn't have a problem with that.

Yeah. :yes: The main reason I don't like the bar (and I'm assuming this is for everyone else as well) is because it is too big and like Mike said, distracting. No, it isn't covering anything, but the constant switching of information and its size is too much. I especially think it is too much when watching TWC in HD because there's that LDA too.

And it takes up space in the screen as well. <_<

Another reason: All the newsbabe fans would be happy to see more legshots. :bleh: :P Seriously, agreed what you guys have said, the BBOD is full of unneeded fluff. <_< :thumbdown:
-
Adding that annoying breaking news and Side bars was a stupid idea. The Breaking News/Delvoing Story Bar is useless because parts of the words are missing in my TV and the LDA and the Blue Bar of doom is 100% Pointless. That why TWC is dead since March 2, 2009.

Here's a new one for the BBOD:
"Northeastern Summer"
Really?
The BBOD acts like it got up to the 90s here and absolutely humid, when all it did was get into the high 70s/low 80s here.

Still not watching this until that crap is gone forever.

What is up with the typos on the BBOD today? I've seen 2 already.
On the 7:20 AM PDT segment of Day Planner (screenshot can be found at the Blooper Thread).
"STORMY WEATHER EXPECTEDI N THE NORTHERN PLAINS MONDAY"
...and just now on the 1:50 PM PDT segment on PME...
"5TH APPEMP"

Don't worry. It's never appear on the late night shows (weekdays Weather Center after 11PM/PME Editon weekends).

I don't think Sunrise Weather shows it either.

Okay, I still don't understand why you all hate it so much. It blocks NOTHING. except the OCM's legs. Even though it is useless, just deal with it there, and don't pay attention to it. :thumbsup: :whistling:
But it's your guys' opinions :P..

It's annoying and not necessary. It is distracting when the viewer is trying to view the maps or pay attention to the OCM.

It's not shown on Early Weekend View (5-7am) either.

I like how Wake Up uses a plain lower third to show the weather headlines. Why can't the other shows do that?
-
Didn't know hurricane history was so crucial to add onto the BBOD.
-
The BBOD puts false information as well. Just a few weeks ago, it was reporting that it was 47 degrees in Central Park, when it's really like 70 or something. I'm surprised none of you noticed that the weather conditions don't update properly.
-
It was probably just a typo. No big deal. :wacko:

I have, and along with that, too many typos.
-

Okay, I see.

I wonder if the weather info on the BBOD is automatically updated, or if the programmers manually insert the weather data in.
