New LDL

[wxntrafficfan]

Yeah, I'm noticing a clock on the lower left hand corner of my LDL (bigger one at the moment). But it's so far down there that my TV cuts half of it off. I also notice it cycles through the 4 main time zones, oddly enough.

Thanks for the screenshots. The clock is on the actual national LDL feed. It's in the "window" area of the local LDL, which was originally meant for placement of the ad. Good to see that TWC is using that blank space somewhat productively.

Oh wow, I was wondering what that was for. Sure thing with the screenshots. It was brought up earlier that the clock was added on InDirecTV, so I got curious and turned TWC on for the first time in a couple daze. It's not really that great, but I suppose it is a start.

I will admit that I should give them some brownie points for the radar portion of the LDL there. I like how it looks exactly like the old radar maps that used to be on weather.com back in it's good ol' daze. I also see it has the color coding in the separate color squares instead of the gradual change you see on the code on the LF radar. I wonder if the ice/mix and snow also show up on this radar?

It's the same radar basemap as currently on the IS

I'm wondering if you know it's spelt "days" not daze

Yes, I'm well aware. I thought everyone knew it was my style to spell days as "daze" and ight as "ite".

...it's stuck on Pacific Time for some reason.

That makes me even more satisfied!

You know, I'm glad that the clock is back...but it's like they just threw it on there.  "Yeah, we have some space here...let's throw it there."   Put the time/temp next to each other again controlled by the IS so it's always on the screen (and not stuck on Pacific Time) and let the thing rotate through other area locations with their information down below and stop wasting space!!!!!!

I'm glad that they put the time back... I bet someone "convinced" them.

lol - we should "convince" them more then to fix the whole LDL; turn the suck meter down.  The colors have grown on me...but the whole design still bugs me.

Mine is stuck on PT too.

It's the same for everyone. The clock is on the national feed.

The new clock might actually be useful if it weren't cut off. I can only see the minutes on my TV.

My point exactly. My TV cuts off the bottom half of it.

It's in an overscan friendly spot... what's wrong with your tvs?
