What will happen to the music on the emergency feed now that that jazz hating dumbo is in charge of the music now?
Nothing. I doubt they will touch the Trammell music.
yea its just a small part of the setup anyway. thats always nice to know its there.

*Barfs* From Scott Ward...

Quote
Scotty will be glad to create some light rock music for consideration if they will in fact accept music from independent artists...we will be checking into this matter today...if he had known about the change in format, he would not have continued to send in jazz compositions...
Sounds a lot like a TWC groupie to me...

When looking through iTunes, that reminded me of something. Doesn't this mean during Christmas time, they wont have the christmas music like Linus & Lucy, Skating, and such?

Probably not. It'll probably like your local Christmas music station (if you have one). So that would mean The Carpenters, Air Supply, Hall & Oates, and John Lennon. :thrilled: :yawn:

You know what? F*ck this, f*ck this, they can screw up the network and lose us fans. Most people that I met in my life are not true fans of TWC, and yet they say they love the music on the Local on the 8s. I think that this "80%" is a lie and the quote at the end of the article about DEVO is fake.

There's no 80% approval rating. He just made it up, in fact people are complaining about this selection. If NBC continues with this despite our complaints, then it's a new low for them.

Write to TWC, NBCU, and demand them to bring "Smooth Jazz" back.

Do you have reliable sources to back up these claims? NBC most likely has research and focus group data to back up their claim. Not everything is a lie.

But there are complaints everywhere. I know knowing NBC the way they are they might not do anything..but TWC/landmark pulled out vocal music after the 1st day of the May 07 list. The vocal music was included in the May playlist but quickly pulled away because of complaints..it was not a 25th anv. thing though

I would have thought they might keep that. However I dont mind the selection Matt mentioned.

here's the bs comment i was talking about


Quote
Thank you so much for sending along your feedback.  As you have noticed, there have been some changes to the music during Local on the 8s.  However, there is no fear that we are abandoning the jazz format, which we still celebrate and incorporate into our play lists.  We have added some more contemporary and modern sounds in order to expand our offerings and appeal to a larger portion of our demographic.  This has been based on much feedback and testing.  However, we continue to monitor the feedback, and I have passed your note along to the appropriate product team for review and recording.
 
Again, we appreciate hearing from our great viewers and hope you will continue to watch The Weather Channel for years to come.
