So it seems the instrumentals that were playing have been confined to the Overnight list only. :itsok:

At this rate (since the overnight is my favorite daypart) i think that's the only benefit for me to watch TWC anymore.

I was checking out the forecast for tonight in Spokane, WA via weather.com and at point it said "Areas of smoke and haze are possible, reducing visibilities at times." Anyone ever see (or even hear) that phrase on the IntelliSTAR before?

Anybody wanna take a crack at telling me why it's important to mention about an ongoing drought for two out of the ten days on the forecast as if the drought will magically end after the second day? :rolleyes:

I could see if it's mentioned ALL ten days, but it's not. What's so special about those two days? :dunno:

Since TWC is playing John Legend can't they play other R&B Artists?

I just went through some scheduled recordings I set while I slept (trying to get that Eric Clapton song) and apparently new Autumn Station IDs debuted. (4:58 and 5:58am respectfully) :yes:

-First is of a backyard with rain falling and raindrops dripping off of an awning.


-Second is of a creek or stream with orange leaves banked up against rocks.


EDIT: Screenshots if you don't want to download the attachments.

I haven't seen the cable headend logo nor the radio station card during the station ID segments since Saturday morning, possibly due to the new fall backgrounds. Is anybody else not seeing this on their headends either?

Looks like the New Bedford Intellistar deserves a reboot, it's currently showing a Severe Thunderstorm Watch from July 18th.

It appears my hometown and surrounding areas just went under a red flag warning for low humidity and winds. Just out of curiosity, how come TWC doesn't scroll this warning or show it on the weather bulletin page during LFs?  :dunno:

They show Red Flag Warnings on our IS and IS2, but not on Weatherscan here. Why they show it on the other two and not a full-blown weather channel I have no idea. I don't know why it wouldn't scroll for you anywhere. It usually runs for a couple minutes then goes away. It cycles for about half an hour of scrolling off and on. It doesn't show up on the bulletins page, though. (At least that's how it is on the IS2.)
