I'm sure Beach Street made hundreds of songs for TWC, seeing how track numbers ended in the hundreds in their volumes. I'm also positive a good number of them are suitable for today's genre of music that's desired for the LFs as well. TWC should just use them, and save money.

Even if TWC used the Dewolfe and other libraries TWN used to use the LFs would be restored imo

Since the locals have been 60 seconds there was no narration.

That was my reaction when I first saw these new graphics a couple of months ago  :P  Later on, I found out that the graphics were part of the EF.

Interesting, I must've missed it I don't recall seeing that before. I just thought the EF was the old pre-2011 graphics.

During the past few years I've been here, it's been incredible how much the LOT8's has changed. I remember in 2009 people were still complaining about the IS icons and wanted the XL ones back. Then people didn't like how many of the LOT8's songs were repeats in the years 2010-2011. 2012 was the big permanent music shift--or debacle, for some-- from jazz to vocals, and 2013 has just been a serious diminishing of the LOT8's importance. I was one of the people to complain about the music, too, but it's amazing how many of us took the LOT8's for granted the past few years, complaining about things such as icons and music repeats. None of those things, though, compare to the phasing out of the LOT8's. I didn't think it'd happen this quickly, but time does inevitably lead to change, and TWC is living up to that principle. I wish the network the best, but I don't see it surviving on major TV networks much longer with all the negative changes I'm observing. If TWC doesn't keep the LOT8's, it won't be keeping my attention or viewership, as I mainly watch for my local weather anyhow unless there is some serious weather news around the country.

You're just talking about a few years. I have been watching TWC since 1991.  I see a much greater range of changes...
