General LF Discussion

[toxictwister00]

Interesting that the IS1 & IS2 LF have the patriotic theme background yet the National LF does not have that today. Unless they are waiting for Monday?

Looks like you were right btw.

Something must of been wrong with the IS unit for Atlanta because were getting the feed from Marietta instead. This is the second time in 6 months this has happened.

It actually brings me to my next question: Don't major airports around the country have their own IntelliStar units? Shouldn't Atlanta's back up IntelliStar unit be coming from Hartsfield Int'l Airport instead of Marietta, GA which is well over an hour away from where I live? It used to years ago (pre 2008).

An update on the music situation

Thanks for your note. As you know from our survey, we are  exploring options to provide the best local product so we are featuring different music. I am not certain about the final choices  but know the team is considering it.

thanks,
David

Also I asked about is jazz likely to return and they said they are considering it. No Lie! Speculate all you want.

Here is the original message I sent

I've noticed only the 2 production songs were playing all day today. Is this permanent or a place holder? Also is jazz likely to return? I've seen it on the survey.

I emailed David Blumenthal. He is a PR executive. Basically Melissa but I think higher up.

@freddyflaxman @Gt1racer Hi Alex! We are still investigating our path forward with music during Lot8s.  We don't have a timeline for any changes quite yet.

[TWCmatthew]

They keep saying "We're still looking into what music will fit best on the LOT8's." As much as I want jazz back, I don't expect them to change the music anytime soon.

[WeatherSTARIII]

I highly doubt the jazz music is ever coming back. A sign of corporate neglect from Comcast/NBC.

Has anyone seen the changes to the IS2jr's LF yet?

Has anyone seen the changes to the IS2jr's LF yet?

No. still the same. Mine rebooted at 3:10AM CT, but that's it.

Wow, a ton of broken promises from TWC regarding the LOT8s.  Analog signal with legacy STARs remains, no graphics update to the IS Jr, and no music changes.  Since the sources where you all got this information seem to be reasonable, this either means that TWC couldn't care less about this aspect of their station anymore, or that they're giving BS answers to their viewers about date changes, future plans, etc.

This is very disappointing. I thought TWC Actually started to care again.

I for one can say, having worked for large companies can see that things like this are on the to-do list up on the white board.. and things come up that either delay or shelve items on that to-do list. It generally doesn't mean the items have fallen off the list, but not working with their company on a day-to-day basis, I am not sure what they are tasked with. For all we know, members of the Star team are overwhelmed by building configs for HD stars and other things are told to wait. They have a very talented group of people, but at the end of the day, there are only so many hours to work on improvements / configs / deadlines / due dates / etc. As with telling viewers insider information, they aren't obligated to answer such answers (like deadlines, or due dates), and I would feel the same. Viewers (or customers) only need to know what they need to know.

My 2 cents
