That space will eventually be filled up with ads, so dont worry!

The new icons look's nice. I like the LDL bar too.

Ok, a lot of the day has gone by...and the LDL has been growing on me.  I enjoy the compact version a lot more than the "full" 1/3 screen version...but I still think they need to do the following:
1. Expand it to utilize more of the screen
2. Add the clock
3. Get rid of the on/off transition that shows just the blue on the bottom of the screen with no info
4. Solidify the temp position - i.e. like before, time/temp for the main location.  Don't get me wrong, I like seeing the current temp of surrounding locations, it's just confusing for less avid viewers to have the temperature changing all the time (especially since it's never been that way on TWC)
5. Get rid of the HD feed's national city list on the right side...bottom is more acceptable I suppose...more-so annoying with how much space it wastes for places I don't care about!
6. Change the brown/gold/yellow to more of a yellowish gold or perhaps light blue (like on the old LDL).  It seems very out of place compared to the rest of the graphics updates
7. Get rid of the goofy cheese wheel sun!

lghdude. you crack me up with that graphic. I agree with you on the LDL. They need to add more stuff such as the clock. Have you seen Matt (tpirfan28)'s mock ldl? I prefer it exactly like that, just to get rid of all that space.

If TWC add some "glow" to the sun, then it wouldnt be a cheeseball.

Thanks     I did like the addition of the radar...makes the graphic come together better...but still huge on the screen.  As for the sun, maybe if there was an animated spinning wheel of cheese, people would not only enjoy it more...but TWC could also let Sargento purchase some ad time for each of the suns on the screen...just put a logo on it and watch it spin!

The musical ldl and graphics for different shows is a bit annoying

Hmmmm revised LDL for Evening Edition or is that the official tweak? I like this LDL better!

No (its Weather Center btw )

Small LDL for the following shows: Wake Up With AL, Your Weather Today, Weather Center, Longform programming.
Other shows will have the large LDL. The same corresponds to the HD feed too

That's the small version of the LDL. The big version is currently being used on some shows (FO, DP, PME), while the smaller one is being used on others (WUWA, YWT, WC, long-form).

It's a smaller version used in the higher rated shows and long-form.

I sorry I just assumed it was Evening Edition. In my opinion TWC should just stick with the small updated ldl instead of the large one.

Evening Edition hasn't existed since March 1, 2009.

speaking of LDLs my dish network LDL does not cue anymore during local on the 8s
is this just permanent or are they upgrading the satellite local forecast too

[TWCToday]

Large LDL for late Weather Center

[WeatherWitness]

Phew. So many posts.

My questions:

1) Why does TWC need two LDLs?

2) Why is the LDL for HD different than from SD?

3) Does the big LDL prevent all those "Friday Headlines", etc. stuff from showing up on shows?

1. Because they can? Too big to show for longform shows, etc. Technically there are 3 ldls. Old blue is used for LF because the new ones wouldn't blend well.
2. More room? Different hardware?
3. No. Select shows.... WUWA, YWT, WC 7-10 have small LDLs so they show headlines
