Just heard a brand new song at :28..
-
They started at 4:58 apparently.. but it's been horrible so far :footinmouth:
-
That song that just played is "Industrial Love" by In Strict COnfidence. Also, what songs played from 4:58 to 5:18, Zach? I can try to ID them for you.

Daniel caught this
TWC Satellite Local Forecast from January 2012 #12 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFJlH49to04#)
5:08 had Trammell (with Supernova prior to) and 5:18 was Monoliths

That's Sorrow by Pink Floyd
-
That's Sorrow by Pink Floyd
Wow, how did I not recognize that? :P
-
Hold on I lied, now soundhound is giving me a LINKIN PARK ID? :blink:
It might be this one (an instrumental version of Linkin Park's "New Divide"):
Linkin Park New Divide lyrics (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5YkamIXihc#)
-
"C'est Pas Si Loin" at :38 :wacko:
-
sounds like they are transitioning into the list..
-
"New Divide" by Linkin Park (thanks YT ID system :P)
The Weather Channel... with Heavy Metal? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVrZQkMcBcM#)
-
Figures i talked with TWC in Late December and was told there was no new list coming and one pops on today :pinch:
-
Is this a :28/:58 only thing? :huh: Searching at :48
Also :offtopic: the :18/:48 locals seem to be 1:30 again unless it's for just tonight.. this is my first time watching TWC in about 2 weeks lol
-
Aphex Twin - Avril 14 just now.

Aphex Twin - Avril 14 just now.
I love that song, but it does not fit on primetime and is too short of a song for a full 2:00 local IMO :hmm:

I don't think this song is on the primetime as Daniel has uploaded clips of Sorrow and New Divide on daytime, too. I would hope the songs are just mixed up in the playlist similiar to like what happened during Irene preemption (seeing that coverage today is preempted too).
-
I really hope there will be jazz in the daytime, and that there isn't a repeat of June till October 2009, when there was mostly rock music.

Love of Strings at :08 :club: whats with the 2:00 locals only using the new list...
-
Love of Strings at :08 :club: whats with the 2:00 locals only using the new list...
They most likely got the new list configured as Long-Form which is why the new songs are only airing 28/58.

Yeah I heard that.. i guess its just at random :wacko:
-
I heard part of the one at 4:58, god awful. <_<
-
I actually like the Linkin Park song on primetime. It fits quite well on the LF to me.

Agreed :yes: And that song is NOT heavy metal at ALL.. it's alternative rock.

I thought the 1:00 flavors on :18/:48 were only during the daytime hours.
-
There was a nice song that played right before WUWA started this morning. (5:58am)
-
Looks like the rotation is stuck in primetime mode :wacko:
-
I'm not Listening playing right now <_<
-
The Bunny the Bear - Rough Eyes and The Clash - Time is Tight is also appearing to play in the morning
-
This is looking more and more like 09 with the lack of jazz and abundance of rock. :rolleyes: If there is no jazz in the daytime, I am not listening to this playlist. :club:
-
Linkin Park's New Divide also seems to be playing in the morning
-
No smooth jazz... :cry3:
-

I don't think daytime is smooth jazzless...the songs seem to still be mixed up throughout the playlist
-

That must be the case because I doubt "Sorrow" by Pink Floyd is on the daytime if there are dayparts :no:
-
But whatever song just played at :28 is kickass!
-
O_o
Anyways, I emailed Melissa Medori asking for info on the list.. hopefully she responds
-
Me too, maybe she's not aware of the rotation issues
-
Hope it gets fixed soon, because all of this rock music is getting ridiculous. :hammer:
-
Ohhh yeah, these are rotation issues: Gut Feeling @ :08
-
According to a reliable source, the full list does not come out until sometime next week. The songs you're hearing are extra songs from the playlist tossed into the mix. The rotation issues would be solved once the songs play in their appropriate dayparts in the full playlist
-
Still doesn't explain the rotation issue.. :thinking:
-

Which basically means there is nothing they can do right now to fix this rotation flub :thumbdown:

What I Got @ :38

Yep, the full playlist has finally transitioned.
5:08 - Ryan Farish - Groovemension

5:58 - Moby - Fireworks
-
Fireworks! Yay! :thrilled:
Also What I Got is on the playlist! Yay! :thrilled:
Oh wait...
-
Groovemension was one of Ryan's first songs because it was on the In The Day album, but it seems to be new to TWC. :thinking:

Correct, it hasn't played before but is a classic :biggrin:

"Come Into My World" by Ryan Farish at 6:18, New Divide by Linkin Park at 6:28

Nice to see Fireworks again. Not sure how many times What I got had been featured in a playlist...
-
Gooding - Winter in Chicago at :38. Looks like yet another jazzless primetime playlist :rolleyes:
-
Gooding - Winter in Chicago at :38. Looks like yet another jazzless primetime playlist :rolleyes:
Just hope there is jazz in the daytime.
-
Gooding - Winter in Chicago at :38. Looks like yet another jazzless primetime playlist :rolleyes:
Oh, I like Winter in Chicago so I'll be glad to hear that one again. :happy:
Seriously, what the hell is their obsession with that dang What I Got song by Sublime? Sheesh... <_< Is that like the only good song they've made or something?
EDIT: I don't think the Primetime needs to be jazzy, it should be more of a variety.
-
"Come Into My World" by Ryan Farish at 6:18, New Divide by Linkin Park at 6:28
Linkin Park? Really? Oh NBC, Oh NBC, How I hate you so-oo.
-
Linkin Park? Really? Oh NBC, Oh NBC, How I hate you so-oo.
This isn't on NBC completely. You have to look at the music team and the people within TWC as well for their choices. Let's wait and see what the whole playlist reveals before we all jump to conclusions here.
-
Anyone heard a vocal tune at 7:38 or 9:18 EST?
-
Anyone heard a vocal tune at 7:38 or 9:18 EST?
Yes :wacko:
-
Winter in Chicago by Gooding played too earlier this evening.
-
I'm actually somewhat confused by this playlist. :wacko: I guess it's because as it's mostly rock, it breaks from the norm of the past several playlists, which definitely a lot more jazz than this one. It reminds of the first time I heard a vocal song on TWC. I was confused by it too, and I thought it was some kind of error.

The mostly rock playlist didn't work in 09, and it won't work now. If there is no jazz, it may be time to fire up that peititon again.
-
Once again guys...just because you're hearing rock in the primetime playlist (when it's generally that way anyways) doesn't mean the playlist has little to no jazz. You still have 3 other dayparts to pay attention to.
-
Absolutely horrible playlist, full of repeats. The morning music is practically the same as primetime. Only three different songs are some middle eastern sounding tune, Im Not Listening and Songbird by Ryan Farish. I will stand corrected if there is no new smooth jazz on daytime.
-
Okay, you caught my attention when you said Songbird.. I love that song :thrilled:
EDIT: Are you sure the dayparts are even up? :thinking: End of Line @ :48
-
I'm not too keen on the last song or the list so far, but to perfectly honest, what importance is it? I have most of the TWC songs that I like on my i-Pod, and TWC isn't even an important part of my life (I'm sorry if it is to you). I hardly watch it anymore, and I don't seem to be missing out on too much.
I do hope there is some jazz because I do enjoy listening to that, but if there isn't, there isn't squat I can do about it except do something better with my life and turn it off. I did, and I don't regret a day ever since.
-
I sure hope the dayparts are still mixed up but it seems that these songs really are on the morning. Eminence Front also seems to be on this list, with a different cut. <_<

Your Hand is Mine by explosions in the sky played at :48
-
A song with vocals "Come Into My World " by Ryan Farish played at 10:58pm ET.
-
Why is music from the "Tron" soundtrack back in the playlist?
"End of the line" played at 1:48pm ET.
I just feel that techno sound does not fit the local forecasts and is very distracting.

I don't mind techno, but it seems Picard really loves Tron music for some reason.
-
Groovemension may be the best song I have heard on the playlist so far.
-
Hopefully the rotation is fixed by Tuesday.
-

Yeah, hopefully a jazzy daytime, too.
I noticed some of the songs aren't in the right daypart. For example, a top favorite "Best of Times" by Yvonne Ayers is playing on the overnight, but it doesn't sound like an overnight tune to me. It's probably a daytime only song, but I recorded a clip of it from overnight nontheless

Here's the List
What is up with all of the rock music? :club:
-
I dont see Best of Times on that list? :huh: Also the time-in on Songbird is incorrect, it should be 0:00-2:00
-
What is up with all of the rock music? :club:
I would say TWC didn't pay particularly close attention to any of the 2011 Jazz CD's that came out which lead to a basically all rock list. hopefully with new 2012 Jazz CD's to come out by March there would be a more Smooth blended list.

Yeah, I was wondering why TWC didn't pay attention to Spyro Gyra and the Rippingtons' releases in 2011.
-
As you know, the music on The Weather Channel has been evolving over the last several years toward a more contemporary, appropriate play list. The music played during full-screen Local on the 8s on The Weather Channel during the afternoon and morning day parts continues to adapt. Going forward, our music team will keep investigating different genres and change selections as needed to stay fresh and align with The Weather Channel brand.
That's all I can say for now.
-
It's official, smooth jazz said fackin. -_-
-
Smooth jazz, you say FACKIN, bye,bye. :rolleyes:
I dont see Best of Times on that list? :huh: Also the time-in on Songbird is incorrect, it should be 0:00-2:00
Best of Times is likely retitled as Ancillary on this list.
-
It must be a retitling because it wasn't on the premier tracks website :no:
-
I wish Peaceblaster '68/'08 by STS9 had of been on this list too. :hmm:
-
Smooth jazz has been permanently removed from the playlists.
-
Smooth jazz has been permanently removed from the playlists.
Where are you getting that info from?

Meh, there are some songs that are nice like Daft Punk's End of the Line, and Groovemension by Ryan Farish. :itsok: They'll have to put back smooth jazz at some point.
-
Smooth jazz has been permanently removed from the playlists.

you already know this person
-
I do? :unsure:
-
Is there a new person doing the LF music? Not only is the music strangely different but the Excel documents are also in a different format.
-
Well, I don't like the lack of jazz, but I don't think it'd be so bad if they didn't play some of the same songs all day; it would allow for a broader variety.
Ugh. I am a bit disappointed, but that's all I can say. TWC is going to change as time goes, and all I can do is either roll with it or not. A few years ago, I would've hated it, blamed NBC, etc., etc. But now that I'm more mature and have been forced to face unbelievable changes in my life, I am quite used to adapting to new things, and in the scheme of things, witnessing the experimentation of new genres is nothing.
I hope there are some more jazz songs in the future, but if not, there is always iTunes. ;)
-
Smooth jazz has been permanently removed from the playlists.
We all knew Smooth Jazz had it's days numbered on TWC :hmm:
-
I encourage you to contact TWC or Melissa about this matter, though. Viewer input is always monitored (think about the recent LF change) so your opinions may make a difference. You should write your opinion of this change and suggest that the previous playlists set up with daytime smooth jazz and a variety of rock/pop/new age in other dayparts provided a myriad of genres in the playlists. it doesn't hurt to try.
-
Linkin Park's "New Divide" on TWC. :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2:
-
I think having Linkin Park on the LF is very intrusive to the calmness one is supposed to feel during a LF, especially during a thunderstorm or something. The song isn't relaxing, sounds like someone is about to break into your house or kill you when I hear it.
-
I think if even there was more new age, like more Ryan Farish, or 7and5, the playlist wouldn't sound quite as jarring. There are only like 5 good songs IMO on this list. They should not have messed with the daytime and overnight.
-
Honestly, TWC is going for views here, and it seems the ones who are hating the factor of this playlist cannot seem to comprehend that... :club: just my two cents based upon observation though, so dont take it personal
-

I wish they hadn't of messed with the morning playlist.
-
TWC has been going through a Playlist Transition phase since April 2009 so i don't see why this kind of playlist is a surprise to anyone.
-
I just can't believe TWC would nix smooth jazz like that from out of the blue. I guess that's why the November/December playlist was like this. It would be a real miracle if they did bring the jazz back at this point, which is likely never. This has really been hitting me hard this week but I just can't get over it. I mean it's just music on a TV station.
-
Petition time! ;)
-
Petition time! ;)
i don't think a petition will work, if TWC wants to change the music just let them do it.
-
Instead of petitioning, why don't you try writing to them about your opinions? They do take viewer input into consideration.
-
According to Melissa, smooth jazz is not "gone." Let's just see what's on the next playlist...
-
What do you mean, Mike? She said the network doesn't foresee smooth jazz selections in the future. Hopefully this experiment fails.
-
I was told they were moving toward a contemporary selection of music, and there is certainly a lot of smooth jazz that is contemporary..
also, you have to think.. TWC has never been all smooth jazz :no: with artists like Ryan Farish, who has been around since 2001, that's newage.. and Phish is rock
Also, back in the 1980s, a lot of instrumental rock was played too
Finally, for those who hate songs like Gut feeling, you have to think that Gut feeling (as an example) was actaully used back in 2005
-
Hopefully this experiment fails.
This same experiement failed in both 2009 and 2010, i don't see why 2012 would make a difference. :pinch:
-
The old playlists were perfectly fine. What difference does it make to have smooth jazz completely removed? :(
-
I don't know what the name of the song is that just played at 7:08 since I don't know most of the songs and don't really give a crap about this playlist, but anyway it reminded me of Trammell Starks for some reason....
EDIT: The song it kinda reminded me of was "Lazy Days" by Trammell Starks btw.
-
The old playlists were perfectly fine. What difference does it make to have smooth jazz completely removed? :(
younger audience, more views, and $$
-
I think "Gut Feeling" is a great song...well, the first two minutes of instrumental that TWC likes to use is great. I don't think contemporary and rock instrumentals are all terrible. Patrick Droney's "Everything" is great, and I think "Perfect" by Smashing Pumpkins is one of my all-time TWC favorites. just a few examples I liked.
However, I'm not going to lie-- I'm not particulalry fond of this month except for "Fireworks" and "Songbird." I think there are good songs out there, but that one that literally plays morning, noon, and evening (Something by Linkin Park, I think?) is not very pleasing to my ears.
I'll be curious to see if March is any better. I don't hate this month's playlist, but I would personally rank it the lowest since 2009. Just my opinion, though.
-

I don't think the younger audience is to blame, its the older audience looking for a new national geographic/discovery channel who we should really be mad at. Don't be surprised if TWC is becoming Fuse or MTV also with this rock music.

Hi Alex,
As you know, the music on The Weather Channel has been evolving over the last several years toward a more appropriate play list. The music played during full-screen Local on the 8s on The Weather Channel during the afternoon and morning day parts continues to adapt. We do not foresee smooth jazz selections in future playlists. Going forward, our music team will keep investigating different genres to stay fresh and align with The Weather Channel brand.
As always, all BMI-licensed music, as well as unregistered music (with appropriate approval from the musician) will be considered.
-
I noticed for the 6:58am ET Local on Sunday "Eminence Front" was back.
It went a little longer with more of the beginning lyrics being heard.

My thoughts in a nutshell: :rolleyes:
"More appropriate playlist" and "afternoon and morning dayparts continuing to adapt" makes no sense whatsoever. :rolleyes:
And if smooth jazz isn't popular on TWC, then why did they release 2 CDs on said genre? They even did promos saying that a lot of people enjoyed the "elevator music." :rolleyes:
-
its official... TWC LF music sucks from 2012 on, at least I am thankful for 25 years of good music that was put out.
-
There was a weird incident at 5:48pm ET, when Fireworks by Moby started to play, and then it was interrupted by some other song that sounded like 7and5, and the song ended, and Oscillate Wildly actually began to play towards the end of the LF. :huh:
-
That's interesting. Wonder if anyone recorded that lf
-
Have they changed the emergency feed music? I have seen a few videos where the emergency feed has kicked in, and instead of Trammell, it plays other music.
Example video... begins playing Moby "Living," then flips to Ryan Farish "Anthem of Hope" and then to Bobby Arnold "Daydreamer"
http://www.youtube.com/v/NeC6o_URYTU
-
If they did, then they would have played the full song, right? :blink:
-
If they did, then I will be REALLY pissed. <_<

If those three songs are on the current playlist, then probably not. Trammell only plays when the current playlist fails. So this was probably just an error with the local forecast, not the playlist.
I don't think the younger audience is to blame, its the older audience looking for a new national geographic/discovery channel who we should really be mad at.
Are you serious? I can't think of a single "older" person that still likes TWC.
"More appropriate playlist" and "afternoon and morning dayparts continuing to adapt" makes no sense whatsoever. :rolleyes:
That's marketing talk for "smooth jazz isn't part of the image we're going for."

No, Trammell also plays at any given moment TWC has technical difficulties that cannot be fixed to the minute it happens.

Is Oscillate Wildly on this playlist? I just heard it an hour or so ago :huh:

I don't think so, but it appears to be the one of the emergency feed songs.

I decided to whip up this list of the new emergency feed songs here (http://zach.dyndns-work.com:53205/twc/emrglistlf.txt) and it probably will expand later as more errors happen.

IMO, this is just ridiculous. I really don't think they needed to replace Trammell as the emergency feed, but what do I know? :itsok:

Did anyone even bother emailing TWC about them removing Trammell? :unsure: I am curious to know why they removed the trammell from the emergency feed, too.
-
I decided to whip up this list of the new emergency feed songs here ([url]http://zach.dyndns-work.com:53205/twc/emrglistlf.txt[/url]) and it probably will expand later as more errors happen.
I could barely see where that link was located in your sentence, but thanks for the list.
Sorry, Patrick :pinch: I should also note that I have yet to hear these, but I only listed ones said by members here and ones captured in Youtube videos.

You can email Melissa Medori yourself, right?

I think 8 times in one month is enough for her, Zach ;)

Victor, it shouldn't matter. Melissa probably receives upwards of more than 100 emails per day pertaining to TWC info, including local forecast stuff. I have emailed her twice in one day in the past, and she still responded both times.

I find it pretty cool that this Melissa lady takes the time to respond to so many emails w/ no problem and I assume she probably replies back quickly. That's really good too, some people who work in other venues where they have to answer questions via emails don't care to help or take time to respond to questions, comments, and concerns. :)

It's Melissa Medori, their public relations person. ;)
-
Indeed. I like her much more than the Hoitsma guy. At least Melissa gives us some "insider tidbits" about the LF and its music at times, and addresses unique issues such as playlist troubles, emergency feed, local forecast changes, programming changes, etc...something other employees at the network probably won't care to discuss about it

I emailed Medori as well. Here is the reply:
Hi Pavel,
Thank you for your feedback. The music on The Weather Channel has been evolving over the last several years toward a more appropriate play list. The music played during full-screen Local on the 8s on The Weather Channel during the afternoon and morning day parts continues to adapt. Going forward, our music team will keep investigating different genres to stay fresh and align with The Weather Channel brand.
Enjoy your week,
Melissa
