OCMs & Personalities / Re: Steve Lyons leaving TWC

Sorry to bump such an old topic! The station I work at here in San Angelo, relatively new actually, did a small story about rain (or lack of) and Dr. Steve Lyons was featured in it, so I thought I'd sure it with you guys:

The San Antonio IS2 (Time Warner Cable) apparently did not receive the graphics update. During Local on the 8s, it shows the old IS2 graphics, but it does have the correct LDL during segments and commercials.

Did I miss something? Did all units revert back to their old graphics or just this one?

Edit: Nevermind, it mysteriously changed back to the new graphics. That was weird.

On the San Angelo, Texas IS2 sidebar, for the airport area, it shows SAT - which is the airport code for San Antonio. Not San Angelo.

I'm not sure if this is intentional, but the airport code for San Angelo is SJT.

Did they not just relaunch YWT, now it's getting axed.

Logic never seems to apply in the workplace.

Dr. Greg Postel did a report tonight.

Nicole said Heather was expected to be released at the end of the month, presumably when her contract is up.

Everything Else TWC / Re: Blooper Thread

Can someone explain how that second blooper is possible? I'm running all these scenarios in my head to figure out how they managed that. hahaha

Pretty cool to say the least.

Seeing as Jen Carfagno was present, she was in the Atlanta studio while Al was in the NYC studio (which has a green screen now).

I understand that part, how is it possible that they utilized both green screens at once.

OCMs & Personalities / Scott Williams Departs TWC

« on: May 18, 2012, 02:15:01 PM »

I didn't see a topic, but Scott Williams landed a job as Chief Meteorologist at WTXF in Philadelphia, effective immediately.

Edit: I was going through some old post and it looks like his 3rd year with TWC was just a few days ago on the 14th. Best of Luck to him!

A video was made about it, I don't suppose it's aired?

anyway, it's kinda nice I like it, especially the changing background that corresponds to the weather.

I think it has something to do with adding "www." at the beginning of the forum URL.

just do https://twctodayforums.com/forums, seemed to have worked for me.

surprised that this hasn't been mentioned, but it looks like TWC may be revamping it's website:
