Yikes - that 4000 is in awful condition, except, interestingly, for the radar!  I must admit, though, that it makes for some very interesting visual effects.
The radar usually doesn't degrade much when there isn't precipitation on it.

That isnt necessarily true.. this 4000 had the same amount of precip on it as the one above yet it still has degradation to it

FINALLY! I only had to use some "forceful" convincing to get this to show up. :club:



TWC should only use that text discription box for either severe weather like the one in the picture above or any even use that little box to display the 30 day outlook durring non-severe weather events (like what the 3000 and 4000 used to have). I personly don't like that EF discription box most of the time.
Classic TWC, Weatherscan, legacy WeatherSTARs, and classic Prevue/TV Guide fan.

I've noticed this weekend the music on the LF for all day parts has been the same coming from the evening playlist.
Will they be changing it up soon?

The LO8 L Bar is back this PM. Look for it this afternoon. It wasn't on at 2:18PM CT

Yep, I saw the lovely L-bar at 3:38 CST. I recall TWC taking it down for some "fixing up." I wouldn't be surprised if it's back for good in the near future.

So much wasted space on the National HD feed since they don't format for 16:9.
This layout is useless and should only be using during storm coverage.

Or better yet back to its original usage for long form programming as it was intended.. :whistling:

OK, the use of the L-Bar (aka squeezeback) keeps going back and forth and back and forth.  When will TWC make up their minds on this thing? :blink:

it would be nice if TWC did notify us a playlist change is coming, the current rotation issues are really annoying.

Speaking of which, its becoming an everyday trend for me to notice that "Come Into My World" plays at 11:48 AM ET and "Time Is Tight" at 11:58 AM ET... :wacko:

A new playlist is being worked on. The mixup of songs is temporary until the March list comes out

This is not the first time that has happened. I remember that back in day (1998), a Bryan Savage song would play practically every Saturday morning at some time between 7am and 8am.  ;)
