I thought this was a fluke when I saw this, but I guess now. First the LF's from :08 and 38 get shrinked into K flavors and now the :18 and :48 lfs are gone completely? While I never liked the :18/:48 lfs because of the missing extra 30 seconds of music, I'm not happy to see the LF's completely eliminated

I think you all are seriously overreacting, please take a chill pill. It's not replacing the LOT8s concept. Even TWC isn't that stupid. I believe it's just something they will do when they have extended coverage instead of having to cue a STAR for the local forecast they'll show the squeeze back instead to have more airtime.

Well, that's good then. TWC didn't go past the line for me yet.

I was just going to be really upset if it were permanent and if only LF's at :28/:58 would be shown. For me, I would've missed the music and the overall nostalgia for local forecasts. I'm glad that's not looking like it's going to be the case at the moment, according to Tyler. Thank goodness.

That's good. Just curious, but will the 2 minute locals return on the :08's and :38's?

i'm actually a fan of this concept. i wouldn't mind it too much if it was permanent, but it does appear to be for extended coverage, which again, i wouldn't mind.

It's just not the TWC that I was captivated by 10 years ago, is all.

This certainly isn't the channel I was captivated by 23 years ago.  Things were so much better then.

You guys are overacting way too much here, and let's calm down the language as well.  What if TWC was just testing a new concept during extended coverage for highly significant weather moments?  If a major hurricane is about to make landfall or there's an incredible amount of severe weather going on at once, this isn't a bad mode to have ready.  TWC is supposed to do live weather first when things are very active.
