i'm not going to lie....the previous makeover was quite unprofessional IMO. seriously. I personally liked V1 better than V2 (current).
Yeah, I was personally attached to the previous look.. I didn't / don't like this release one bit.

was anyone else disgusted by the latest IS Graphical release in twc hq? do you know?

It's not really a big concern to people outside the technical aspects of things so I wouldnt know..

I recently sent TWC an email about my strong opposition to the narration. Maybe they'll listen to their viewers, for once.

Wow, this looks possible new TWC HD local forecast graphics look great!  I'm blown away.  I still like some of the concepts I've seen in recent months that our fellow forum members (here and at TWC Classics) have created.

One question though, when it comes to what I have hoped for (as you've seen in my local forecast graphics pages), there will be actual scenic backgrounds of the location for the local forecast area for those NOT in major cities? For example, I wonder what will be the background for my most localized STAR, being downtown White Plains or my backup site which is Westchester County Airport (also in White Plains)?

But I'm most blown away by the preview video provided. WOW!  That's what to expect for the upcoming "actual" launch of TWC HD?  I cannot wait now!

The idea behind "Vocal Locals" was to make getting weather information easier, a real example they give is if your morning schedule includes getting your children ready or preparing things for your day ahead, you can have TWC on in the living room, and you don't have to be in the room to read the local forecast, instead it is read to you out loud. This is way more important that you TWC music geeks (no offence!) who just want to hear the music, or in most cases record the unavailable music without narration.

Your absolutley right Kyle. Unfortunately, most of us music lover's have a hard time getting past our love of the music enough to see that what your saying makes alot of sense.  :lol:
