Title: What would happen if you were offered to visit TWC headquarters in Atlanta?
Post by: Localonthe8s on July 22, 2007, 12:21:19 PM
No, I don't think there is a such thing but I think that would be freaking awesome! The main reason I would go to TWC building would be for the music they played. Imagine getting every playlist! If only they allowed. I don't think TWC will let you in the building unless you have a clear reason to visit. Plus Atlanta is very accessible since Delta has a nonstop flight in my neighborhood airport.

You can go there, but you have to have inside connections or something like that. I know several people who ave been inside TWC.

Personally, I'd like to see the STAR department
Title: Re: What would happen if you were offered to visit TWC headquarters in Atlanta?
Post by: Localonthe8s on July 22, 2007, 12:28:11 PM
Oh I want to see the Star dept. too! Has any member from here or TWCCLassics been there. What if you knew the music guy? Then would you be allowed to go there?
Title: Re: What would happen if you were offered to visit TWC headquarters in Atlanta?
Post by: lfmusiclover on July 22, 2007, 12:37:51 PM
Nope, I don't think anyone from here or there has ever been there. IIRC, the general public is not allowed inside TWC's headquarters. You have to either there for professional purposes, or be in a tour group.

I know 1 or 2 people from TWC Classics have been there.

Nope he wasn't. Not unless he was part of a tour group or something.
Title: Re: What would happen if you were offered to visit TWC headquarters in Atlanta?

he was. cause i remember him posting about it. You were banned then, so you probably don't know about it.
Title: Re: What would happen if you were offered to visit TWC headquarters in Atlanta?
Post by: lfmusiclover on July 22, 2007, 12:43:36 PM
Nope, never read anything about it. And when I returned I looked through everything I missed and never saw any mention of him going to TWC.

Why am I arguing with you again?  :rolleyes:

Post by: lfmusiclover on July 22, 2007, 12:49:47 PM
It was a picture. If you read his post he says that the camera made the place look much larger than it was.

Alright, now its Gil's turn to tell me how right he is.  :rolleyes:

Jae actually called TWC again for another tour (so he could actually take pictures), but TWC said they no longer offer tours. :no:

Stephanie Abrams actually gave us a tour of the studio. Here's the video: http://www.weather.com/multimedia/videoplayer.html?clip=5522&collection=videocoll26&from=vid_brws2&tab=3&nav=141 :)

Post by: wxmediafan on July 22, 2007, 01:35:09 PM
As Stephen said, the pictures were not aloud. Jae just made a layout of the studio in paint or something, just to give us a general idea of where everything is :)

Gary- I think what Jae was referring to, was the tv camera makes the studio look larger on tv. :)

If I were ever offered, I'd take it.  The broadcast business is so interesting to me

That's too bad TWC doesn't offer tours anymore! I wish I could see pictures of the music and STAR departments! Seems that security is a big thing these days.  <_<
Title: Re: What would happen if you were offered to visit TWC headquarters in Atlanta?
Post by: lfmusiclover on July 23, 2007, 12:49:08 PM
It is a big thing these days. There are alot of nutty people out there that would harm the OCM's and other folks at TWC if they were allowed inside the building.
Title: Re: What would happen if you were offered to visit TWC headquarters in Atlanta?
Post by: G2003 on July 23, 2007, 12:49:15 PM
stupid 9/11!!! >:(
Title: Re: What would happen if you were offered to visit TWC headquarters in Atlanta?
Post by: Localonthe8s on July 23, 2007, 12:50:06 PM
I agree with you. If there was no 9/11, the world would've been a better place but I'm not going deep into politics here.
Title: Re: What would happen if you were offered to visit TWC headquarters in Atlanta?
Post by: lfmusiclover on July 23, 2007, 12:50:34 PM
Its not 9/11. Or at least not entirely. There were nutty people intent on hurting the OCM's before 9/11 ever occured.
Title: Re: What would happen if you were offered to visit TWC headquarters in Atlanta?
Post by: G2003 on July 23, 2007, 12:51:22 PM
Yes, but not nearly as much. Why does everyone (the media, particularly) overhype EVERYTHING that goes wrong? It really
pisses me off.
Title: Re: What would happen if you were offered to visit TWC headquarters in Atlanta?
Post by: lfmusiclover on July 23, 2007, 12:52:10 PM
Yes Gil, as much. The people in this country (or any other) haven't changed as a result of 9/11. There were idiots then, and there are idiots now.
Title: Re: What would happen if you were offered to visit TWC headquarters in Atlanta?
Post by: G2003 on July 23, 2007, 12:53:13 PM
I'm talking about the beef'd up security, not the mental patients. Yes, there are always crazy people, but TWC still had tours.
Title: Re: What would happen if you were offered to visit TWC headquarters in Atlanta?
Post by: lfmusiclover on July 23, 2007, 12:54:30 PM
And they still had beefed up security as well. In fact, the TWC building has always been under high security. The tours weren't stopped as a result of 9/11 or terrorism in general.
Title: Re: What would happen if you were offered to visit TWC headquarters in Atlanta?
Post by: Localonthe8s on July 23, 2007, 02:32:00 PM
Can you still request for a private tour? Does TWC even have a phone number to contact?!
Title: Re: What would happen if you were offered to visit TWC headquarters in Atlanta?

No, and I don't know about the phone number. Probably not.

Huh? Whats unprofessional about not putting your phone number on your website for the whole world to see?  :rolleyes:
Title: Re: What would happen if you were offered to visit TWC headquarters in Atlanta?
Post by: Localonthe8s on July 23, 2007, 02:39:07 PM
They should have a found number somewhere. They have a phone # for the TWC radio network listed in your tv;s station id. It's (770)- someone like that.
Title: Re: What would happen if you were offered to visit TWC headquarters in Atlanta?
Post by: G2003 on July 23, 2007, 02:41:45 PM
Because they should have contact info on there. whenever i dont see a phone number, or email on a companies website, i
immediately leave the page. very unprofessional.

Post by: lfmusiclover on July 23, 2007, 02:43:52 PM
I disagree. If they had a phone number on the site, then they have every goon in america calling them. An e-mail or other contact is good enough.

Have you tried looking on TWC's media relations site?

Visit their satellite local forecast area.
Tell them to scrap these terrible playlists that have been happening.
