The fog icon made a rare appearance on my STAR's 7-day:

Looks like someone in the TWC graphics department forgot to drink their coffee this morning  :P  because as of today, a new sponsorship bug now has the blue box that is normally shown behind the Dish/DirecTV IntelliSTAR sponsorship bugs.


I saw that happen when I was on vacation in Virginia 2 years ago.. and there have also been times where the blue box doesn't show up for ads on the DirecTV STAR too

WTF is this...


I've also seen the blue box on the regular STARs in the past, and the box has made appearances on the Dish STAR as well.  :yes:

So...does anyone have any insight to the changes to the Local on the 8's next month? It sort of sounds like it's going to have a new name--Weather All the Time. There's a strong emphasis on simplicity with this new debut, as well. I haven't bothered to sign up on weather.com for a preview, but maybe somebody on here knows what we can expect and can share with us.

The video that was originally posted by Martin is no longer available. I posted a link that will take you directly to the video of the LOT8s preview. https://twctodayforums.com/forums/programming/new-graphics-coming-to-twc/msg185912/#msg185912

I didn't think about checkin YT again since the audio had been halfway muted on the one that was posted a few weeks ago, and then it wasn't available anymore.  :bleh:  And BTW, thanks for subscribing to my YT channel!

This is weird, but why on earth are there two ad bugs for Prospectors?  :wacko:

I don't know what is up with the XL in my area. It has been looping the LF for nearly a hour and a half, with the exception of a few quick breaks where the live feed returned for a minute and then it resumed looping.  And then  a while later, it did some crazy flickering on screen that I had never seen before.
XL says "Screw Longform, I'm gonna show you the LF for a while and then be a strobe light! "

Did it loop the two minute flavor?

Yes, and it did a few other things I've never seen it do..

I love that strong storm icon, still my favorite XL icon out of all of them in the set.

They used the new WCL "red mode" production music during the last LF.
