I don't think there was ever any truth to that.

I'm still shocked there are 617 votes and still there isn't any changes made to the LF Music.

That's a TINY number compared to the tens of millions of households who watch the network.

At this point I don't give a damn about what TWC does anymore. It's been months since I've really watched it. You all should consider doing the same if you keep predicting TWC is going to bring things back like two minute LFs or jazz music. The odds of that happening at this point is like trying to get the lottery jackpot, it's slim to none...

Which i totally agree with Mike, i'm even surprised TWC replied to my post on their page.

The Weather Channel Local Outage #1


Fast forward to 2:29. The Tides product makes an appearance during a 60-second flavor in place of the marine forecast product   :o

This a K flavor TWC should look into for Weekday Programming during all live shows.

:28/:58 - Current Conditions, Metro Conditions, Local Doppler, Radar/Satellite, Daypart Forecast, AM Metro Forecast, PM Metro Forecast, 48 hr Local Forecast, 7 Day Outlook

Solution to the Weekday local forecasts


I also caught the 2 Minute Local from the "Weather Classroom" programming block.

Weather Classroom Local Forecast 3/16/13

Nice! So the two-minute LF isn't completely erased forever then. Also, very jazzy-sounding song...I like it.

Are they only running the 90 second LF at :28 & :58 after on live programming?
Seems all other times it's only 60 seconds which seems very short for a LF.

Sunrise Weather is still all 1:30 LFs, and I think Weekend View as well.
