General LF Discussion

Funny you should mention about the 8th city thing. When Brian modified the xl coding to accept emulator data the CC and 8th city data being inputed had to be the same or it would throw a fit

One of the reasons I brought it up was just that I noticed the Petoskey and TC XL's each have their own main city on their 8 city, but not each other, if you know what I mean. So wait, you're saying the main site does or does not have to be on the emulator's 8 city?

In our case the main site and 8th city had to be the same

It seems like there is some delay tonight while starting the LF music. At the start of every LF, you can normally hear the music for a brief second before the IntelliStar narration kicks in, but tonight, there it has been completely silent before the narration.

For some reason, I thought that was something that was up with my Intellistar. There's always a black screen before the station ID and LF.

"Perfect" by Smashing Pumpkins just aired at 9:18 AM ET.

Sunshine is apparently on the Wake Up With Al playlist this morning.

Malibu Nights by Armik played at :58 which is an overnight song...

Seems like TWC is waiting until July for a new playlist, especially because of everything else going on with the network.

What else is going on with the network? I think they are just going with bi monthly playlsits

It's obvious, noticing the increase in Harry Potter ads on all NBC networks (not least of which is TWC), that the inclusion of Hedwigs Theme on the LF playlist is a promotion. But I just heard Jen Carfagno mentioning on TWC that the Harry Potter resort is opening in Orlando this weekend. Steph and Al will be there promoting it next week. I would expect this list to continue through at least next week for that very reason. I'm sure you all remember "Olympic Spirit", which irritated me faster than it was put on the list, being continued for so long just because of the Winter Olympics in February.

Well the June list was supposed to start 2 weeks ago based on the patterns and they always start on a Tuesday or Thursday. It would make sense to start for them to start a list on July because of the various things going on in TWC like the HD STAR, WUWA, etc and also I suspect they didn't have enough new songs for the June list (likewise there would be a ton of repeats like this playlist) so they probably wanted to wait a little longer for more artists to send in their albums to fill in the gap.

I'm 50/50 with that. As Aaron mentioned, they were promoting that Harry Potter attraction on NBC networks, and Hedwig's Theme was on this playlist. I could have sworn, though, that the playlist with Olympic Spirit changed right after the Olympics were over.

Wait, when did the olympics end?

[Mike M]

The Olympics ended on February 28th, but the playlist with that song ended March 4th.

My IntelliSTAR froze 3 times, went to the Satellite LF, and is now showing the national LDL.

EDIT: Satellite LF @ 2:08 CT.
