The local LDL never cued for long-form at 2 PM ET, so I'm currently seeing the small version of the national LDL.

I find it strange that the national LDL has a different TWC logo. There's no shadow, no mirrored logo, and the weather.com font is not Interstate.
Haha I know :P

Did Weekend View have the large or small ldl?
  big ldl on my end

Early Weekend View had the large LDL, but late Weekend View had the small LDL.

The weather.com font is the same that's was on the black LDL with the 96-05 logo! :o

To further prove that, here's a comparison:

That's strange. :blink: TWC seems to be going back to the past with these new LDLs, especially with the blue/orange theme. :yes:

Does anyone know what the font for the temps/current conditions/etc. is on the LDLs? :dunno:

The fonts dont look that similiar. Seems like the 2005 weather.com fonts had a different Helevetica font version.

I agree. I wonder why they choose such a crappy version of the TWC logo. That one is washed out. Wonder if they were just in a hurry

It looks much better on my TV. Must've been my tuner. :thinking:

Ya know, I didn't realize how much it reminds me of the 4000 until I ran the emulator and just, looked in awe at the similarity

During shows like Cantore Stories, how come the LDL sometimes doesn't cue or cues as satellite?

Does anybody else hate how that blank background stays before/after the cues before/after breaks??  It REALLY bugs me!
