Is traffic still displayed on the LF? I don't remember them stopping, but logically speaking, they can't fit traffic info that one-minute LF and display adequate weather information.

Just watched WUWA. So far no two-minute LF. :hmm: (They were rumored to return today.) Instead, I'm seeing commercials/ads last about 4 minutes and 3 minutes of weather coverage..

TWC's contract with Traffic Pulse ran out quite some time ago.  I don't remember exactly when, but it's been a couple of years that there have been no traffic reports on the local forecast.

Local forecast update must be delayed due to the extended coverage for winter storm luna. Hopefully the 2 minute locals will return tomorrow at 11:08am ET.

I can assure you that it was a false rumor. ;)

Winter Storm Luna could be the reason for the delay, but I believe it is a false rumor myself especially if it was from someone who supposedly left TWC :unsure:

The Taiganet rumor was probably just a false one, but I could be wrong. We'll just have to keep an eye out for any changes to the flavor lineups in the coming days  ;)

I think the Taiganet post was absolutely false. After all, the member who posted it was none other than our little friend obsessed with "witchoowa" :rolleyes: (and y'all know exactly who I am talking about)
I've gone off on a journey to be a moderator at another forum, but this place will forever remain home for me~

I wouldn't call this false yet, Swindam still works at TWC as far i can tell and he is usually active in the Feedback Forums.

We'll see if the 2 minute locals do indeed come back tomorrow.

There was a member who kept pestering people over and over again about a certain song. He was also responsible for other ill events towards members aka "Jimmy Ruska", "TWCMax", "Intellistar2" and other names.

Yeah, but then again, the user who obtained the news is known for spreading rumors <_< I have my doubts but you're right Alex, let's just wait and see :yes:

Did anyone ever figure out what song he was talking about that went "witchoowa"? LOL! :bleh:

a couple 2 Min flavors did air at 12:58pm and 1:58pm ET but haven't appeared since TWC started Extended Coverage at 2pm.
