Local on the 8s survey
« on: April 27, 2014, 08:10:31 PM »
I think this fits here. If not you can move it to where it does.

After many complaints I sent to TWC, the weather channel sent out a survey asking what music you would prefer to hear on the 8s. I really want the message to be heard, so if your not signed up for the front or did not receive it just click the video below. Just comment for what music you would like. I will email the CEO the results after May 4th.

This could be our comeback for the long awaited Jazz!

Hate to burst your bubble, but do you really think the CEO (who seems to be rather arrogant) is going to take the demands of a few fans seriously?

Not sure but for them to create a survey containing Jazz and asking them to rate is most likely considering to return it to the playlists. We just have to wait and see. But he also replied to my email saying they're going to investigate especially with all the sources I provided him.

I'm surprised he even replied to your email. I 've sent a bunch of tweets and they've gone unanswered.

I'm sorry, but I call this BS. The user of the video said he got it from ImBoredIIDeath, but I don't see the video anywhere there. Another user also dubbed in smooth jazz onto a random LOT8s clip he claims it came from thefrontpanel.com. I go to that site, and they're not taking registrations. The site obviously has been online for awhile because it mentions "The Weather Channel Companies" (which is now known as the Weather Company).  And do you really think TWC would broadcast a promotion on television asking viewers whether they prefer jazz, vocals, or the LOT8s anthem, let alone nowhere in the promotion does it say anything along the lines of "what music do you prefer?" All it is is three of the same exact clips thrown together with a cheap movie maker with three songs dubbed in. The average viewer wouldn't even understand what is going on when they see that.

The Video as in graphics is from Imborediideath https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ykgWxp02gs. The Video posted is not from thefrontpanel.com but a close re creation of what was on thefrontpanel.com. The video on the front panel was an is2 but since I can't re access it I had to somehow get the message out. The survey said what music would you like to hear as well as rate the content, music, and narration from a scale of 1-10. The survey title is lo8s music. The video is the same concept as the survey. The Jazz version is on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KwiaHD3FcM

That video comes from my YT channel but I don't care if other users download my videos even if its for surveying purposes.

As for the music, I personally would like to hear smooth jazz music return to TWC, but I have a feeling that TWC is most likely going to ignore the continuing enormous pressure from long-time viewers and not change the current music. But I guess nobody knows what the network's gonna do next in this situation.  :dunno:

Well the survey was supposed to end Monday and they still haven't changed the March list. Let the speculations begin :D

I took the survey and contrary to what people told me nowhere in the survey did it ask what music I prefer. Guys these smooth jazz speculations are getting old and need to stop right now. Smooth jazz is not I repeat NOT returning to TWC no matter how hard you try! Get it in your head! It's a genre that's fading in popularity and isn't popular enough to be broadcast on a major TV network.
