Are they EVER gonna change the LOT8s music??
IDK, The Television department seem to be real stiffs about this. This is why I can't bear the channel now. Yet I thought 2012 marked the absolute worst for TWC but 2015 is just unbearable in all aspects (graphics, schedule, music .etc)

I couldn't agree any more. I will be happy when they go back to the old days of LF music, but I doubt it.

Perhaps Production Music. i know most music on tv these days come from either:

Extreme Music
EMIPM
WCPM
UNIPPM

Could be either one of those.

It was used in this video. I have not been able to even get a copyright tag on YT. But if there is a way to contact the creators of Family Matters...

I have gotten in contact with the creator of Family Matters on this song, hopefully he can lead us into the right direction.

While we're on the subject of 2012 music, has anyone had any luck with Yohan Bjork?

The Hillsdale SD Intellistar 2 JR is about to be replaced, by a headend in a different county, with a different CWA, therefore we won't get local TWC info anymore until Comcast ponies up for a HD Headend for us.

There appears to be no holiday graphics today (first day of Autumn) on both the local and satellite LFs. The holiday countdown wheel was dropped from yesterday's sidebar graphics updates so I'm guessing that could explain why. :unsure:

I also noticed there were no autumn backgrounds for the satellite LF's.  The exception was at 7:08AM ET and 8:08AM ET, during AMHQ; Those two LF's had the autumn scenes. 

This screams apathy on the part of TWC.  These LF backgrounds are obviously in their library and would have cost them ZERO to implement.  For all the noise regarding cut backs of celebrity talent (Al Roker) to save money, simply using the change of seasons to add to the flavor of the programming seems to be a no brainer.

But - - having been a loyal viewer since the 1980's, I see the trend.  TWC will spend a heap of cash to bring in celebrities but will ignore the simple and free (no licensing required) things to make their channel more of a pleasure to watch.

For those with the IS2, all we get is a "Weather Underground" background.

I'll take this over Taylor Swift any day.

I completely agree. Whenever I feel annoyed at the current music selection I go back and watch Intellistar videos from 2012-2013 and it makes me feel a lot better about what we currently have  :blink: :whistling:

well from what i researched the music is not anywhere on APM or UNIPPM or Extreme Music so its likely that it came from Transition Music or ImagemPM.
