36hr Local Forecast is appearing while the Weather Bulletins Page is present.

These new flavors seem reverted to what it was in early 2009, but does the bulletins page still show first if active?

No it's still a little different. The 8-cities never aired at :28/:58, neither did the air quality or getaway (the school day and metro forecast showed instead). As well, there wasn't an almanac at :18/:48 or the one minute flavors.

On second thought, this may not surprise me. TWC already has a partnership with Westwood One/Metro Networks, the parent company of sigalert.com. We shall see...

Please let us know as soon as you hear anything!

hopefully things get interesting soon

I like these "new" or "old" flavors. It looks like they were changed with the ending of the Traffic segment.

Me too, it's nice to see the daypart and regional maps again (rarely showed here before with traffic). :)

Hello everyone @ TWC Today !  This is Mark Krurnowski writing to say thank you for your interest in my music that has been used during Local on the 8's over the past few years.  I wanted to let you all know that I've recently released a CD entitled "Olive Fingers" which contains 18 tracks.  Some of the tunes have been used on the Weather Channel and some are brand new.  The CD is in the process of being added to iTunes and also features Joy to the World which is on current holiday playlist on W.C.   You can check out more @ www.myspace.com/markkrurnowski .  Cheers !  - mark k.

When the Weather Bulletins page became the first screen still, they skipped to the Local Doppler Radar instead of after seeing the Regional Doppler Radar directly following the Front Page Current Conditions screen during the 1-minute flavors.
I'm a weatherman. I love my weather. I would love to go any trips if the weather is nicer.
