Chase The Sun (Instrumental Mix) by Planet Funk. Used big time in the Darts community.

Here's how it's heard in a darts game where the crowd likes to chant "Oi!":

General Discussion / Need Tech Help

« on: July 18, 2016, 04:23:17 AM »

I have a problem with my ASUS Transformer Book T100TA Laptop. The touchscreen sensor went away earlier tonight. As I was using it, the sensor started to act up and when it went back to normal, the sensor was gone.

I've done everything from updating drivers to enable/disable things but NOTHING. Can anybody help me with this situation?

Sorry to bump this thread up but since I've returned, let me give you my slogans from my market:

WFOR 4 (CBS) - Wikipedia says South Florida's Smart Choice but they haven't used that in quite some time and currently, its nothing.
WTVJ 6 (NBC) - NBC 6 is Everywhere
WSVN 7 (FOX) - The News Station (longtime slogan since 1998 I believe under its previous formation, South Florida's News Station)
WPLG 10 (ABC) - The Only and Only (longtime slogan since 1993 and is the name for WPLG's current music package as it was commissioned for WPLG and is currently being used by various stations including KSAT 12 in San Antonio, WPLG's former sister station.)
WLTV 23 (UNI) - Tu Gente. Tu Voz. (Your People. Your Voice. - new slogan from Univision Communications)
WJAN 41/WFUN-LD 48 (Spanish Ind.) - Siempre Juntos (Always Together)
WSCV 51 (TMD) - Wikipedia says Lo Mejor Esta Aqui (The Best is Here) but I haven't seen WSCV used that one either in quite some time so currently, nothing.

Other stations in the market...
WPBT 2 (PBS) - Explore Your Possibilities
WBFS 33 (MyTV) - Wikipedia says TV To The Max but I haven't heard of that one either. Not sure about status of that slogan. The station likes to use George Takei's Oh My for its branding ID and station promos.
WSFL 39 (CW) - For the Fun of It

I feel like Weatherscan is getting for the worse. TWC logo gone, channel disappearing from top cable companies, still not upgrading to HD, no upgrade to IS2 either.

I have no idea as to how long Weatherscan will last.

Here's the end story on how Colin affected South Florida: NOTHING

Forecasts from last week are now a dub, considering that South Florida really didn't have much rainfall come at all. We have 70-100% chances from last week's forecasts for all of this week and so far? Barely anything. South Florida escaped this one and we weren't really such a threat after all.

But we still have good rain chances for the rest of this week, heading into the weekend.

General Discussion / Re: Introduce Yourself! (For New Members)

« on: May 29, 2016, 09:05:37 PM »

I'm back! I've been here for a long time, but I thought I introduce myself once again.

My name is Roland, but that display name will change soon to say "Roly." I was 12 years old when I was banned in 2008, I believe. 8 years later, I'm 20 years old, now more mature and have since done other things like, since 2014, "The Changing Newscasts Blog" and building it into an amazing site/empire that I love doing. But I still can't forget my first obsession, TWC and with nice friends, luck and support, I'm back on the site.

I'll post all my social channels and everything momentarily as I make my triumph return to the forums.

Plus, I am working with a friend of mines named Danny (boredcabblguy) to work on a project to hopefully (HOPEFULLY) bring another national weather network to American television and that will come in 2017.

Anyways, I'm glad to be back but I promise not to abuse the things I've once done, again. I promise that you'll see a more positive me, if anything.

And again, I'm back. :-)
