Is anyone's IntelliStar LDL off during programming? i'm seeing national information but the IntelliStar LF cues. Also for anyone who has the IS2 did this occur before the upgrade?

Not seeing the local programming LDL on my STAR, just the clock/temperature box.

EDIT: The local LDL is back as of 8:20AM PT.

TWC changed the daypart times for the playlist:

Morning: 4am - 11am
Daytime 11am-8pm (pre-2009)
Evening 8pm-4am

They eliminated the overnight playlist essentially, which made sense since it was only running for one hour anyways last year

Is there a link to the actual survey, by any chance? I didn't see one by Googling it, either.

Has anyone seen this wording on the text forecast? I'm pretty sure this is how it went.

I've never heard that one before. I've noticed some peculiar phrases lately, too. I think they may be modified because of the shorter local forecast.
