Linkin Park will not go away. The song added to the evening playlist in February was played at 11:58am.
There was a song added to primetime in February? I know "Rushing" by Moby was added to the morning but wasnt aware a new song got added to primetime as well :unsure:

As for the Linkin Park song.. its been stated multiple times that the list is incomplete and that no official word on a playlist has been made

Can one of our TWC "insiders" perhaps hook up with someone and see when a playlist is going to be released?

I've been told that playlists have been discontinued for the time being. Music will be changed occasionally as a new group is looking to change the music

Looks like your getting more insider info than i am, playlist discontinued sounds a little harsh but i'm not surprised they went in that direction.

the most logical way would be to use whatever songs they have in the computer from previous playlists and years instead of repeating the same 20 odd songs every day, they're making an easy transition harder than it really is.

In my opinion, twc has been shooting themselves in the foot. The playlists IMO were the last saving grace to the network but overall they are on a decline to the non-average viewer. I agree from mid 2009 onwards the playlists were awful and we"ll never see monthly jazz playlists anymore. I wish there was another cable weather station that would play music like that on their forecast segments but I doubt if there's capacity for another all-weather station to tap in the US market. With the loss of jazz, regular playlists and fewer local forecasts, there's really no point for me to watch twc anymore. I don't know if it's worth making test playlists either because it's nowhere near the same as actually hearing them on the lf :(

I agree. They are so arrrogant and borderline reckless in their attempt to push through this anti-jazz agenda at all costs.   <_<

Its upsetting that almost 13 years of my twc viewership has come to this. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the current playlists. If it ain't broke why fix it?

I didn't think that the 2010 and 2011 playlists were bad at all. In fact, 2011 was a very jazzy playlist. 2012 has been depressing. At some point, if someone can ever find out, I would like to know the reasoning behind the removal of the monthly playlists. It's been TWC's thing almost since they first began the network, and I too see no reason to stop it. And for all the people who say, "Boohoo, it's just music--quit complaining!" are ignorant because music is appealing to everyone.

TWC is making a huge unnecessary mess over the music. Heck, one of us could pick out at least 50 good songs right off the bat. It's not hard to do, and a network as big as TWC should have plenty of resources to do it.

Actually, monthly playlists didnt come into play (no pun intended) until 2000.

I pretty much agree what a few of you said. The music in TWC is officially dead to me and I'm only going to check the weather on their website now. My 9 years of watching TWC is over now. :(

Speaking of "I Will Possess Your Heart" by Death Cab for Cutie, here's the Album Version of the Music Video.

Man, who wants to hear rock and country music on TWC?  :hammer: The TWC music department really does not seem to have a good taste anymore, nor do they care.  :rolleyes:
