That was the only song I recognized out of the ones that appeared in the video, I just didn't know the name or the artist.

Am I the only one not seeing a 30-year design on weather.com? :dunno:

Sorry, but since when are we not allowed to make our own opinions? I said I do not care for it. I'm glad for TWC to continue their 30 years in operation. It's just that they've gone so downhill, that many of us are not into their current state anymore
I kinda have to agree with Tavores.. while you are entitled for an opinion, its the factor that you said it in a condescending tone and gives no contribution to the topic. :no:
Light'n up people.  Geez :blink:

Just be glad TWC still celebrate their Milestones. MTV, although they're in their 30th year of broadcasting last summer, didn't celebrate that milestone like what they did 10 years ago. Here's why:

Quote
"MTV as a brand doesn't age with our viewers," explained Nathaniel Brown, senior vice president of communications for MTV, who confirmed that there were no plans for an on-air MTV celebration. "We are really focused on our current viewers, and our feeling was that our anniversary wasn't something that would be meaningful to them, many of whom weren't even alive in 1981."

I hate to contradict myself and veer off topic further, but that is the most stupidest reason not to want to celebrate a major milestone for a network. Who cares if most of your viewers now weren't born before 1981. Just like every other single themed network that has fallen through the cracks, they're trying so hard to only appeal to younger viewers just to shunt out the viewers that have stayed loyal to them from the beginning. If I didn't know any better from the quote posted, the way they're talking about not aging with their viewers, you would think everyone from 1981 that was watching then is dead lol.  :doh: They know what MTV is and if they put effort into a special or something they might learn something interesting about the network they never knew and make them appreciate the channel for what it was then. I just realized Cartoon Network has a 20th anniversary coming up in October I believe I wonder if they're gonna go the MTV route or if they will celebrate it.
