Christmas music starts December 19th according to @daveclark. Finally after a 2 year hiatus!  :clap:  :dance: Make sure someone DVR's the songs.

Hopefully we'll see a return of TSO, Ryan Farish, David Arkenstone, John Williams .etc

Don't get too excited - it may just be holiday-themed production music

I've noticed a green TWC logo has been added to the bottom left on the national HD local forecast.

Did a quick search and didn't see this posted anywhere (I apologize if this has been already been discussed)

On the backwards L-bar (or whatever it's called) it has that circle that displays airport delays, almanac data (sunrise, sunset, avg. high, avg. low, moon phase), dew point, precip, etc.

For the past week or so, mine has only been showing airport delays.  Is this system-wide (for holiday travel), or is this an issue with my STAR?

Thanks.   B)

As far as I Know, the Sidebar has been disabled on all IS2s nationwide to display national travel data as many are flying home for the holidays.

Not sure what TWC is up to, but the :48 long-form LFs haven't been showing at all this evening.  :huh:

As in just your local forecast or is the national one not showing?

An unknown Lo8s song played at :38. Not sure if production as it didn't fade out in the end like other production songs. Couldn't find the song in previously recorded production music added last month.

Both. The :18 long-form LFs were showing last night but the :48 LFs did not show at all. :no: Instead, the show just cuts directly to commercial.
