Yes, they did change the name. The rest of the show seems to be the same.

I've only recorded from 2014 onwards, but, I've been watching TWC for many years before that. Having a father who's been interested in TWC his whole life, sort of came down to me.

That is quite an impressive collection. I have recorded videos of TWC here and there myself.

Comcast remains mostly the same these days around here as a lot of my previous posts.

I've always had a suspicion about this sort of thing. It sure seems interesting this only comes up now that they think we're going to have a hotter summer this year than in years past.

I really don't care for electric cars. This country isn't ready for them, good enough infrastructure isn't in place, and, now this. I feel like the benefits of electric cars are outweighed by the production of their batteries, which are often worse than the chemicals used in traditional gasoline cars.

TWC Fan Art / Re: pjfrix's (TWC) Fan Art

Glad to still see someone posting art here. I used to look at this stuff constantly several years ago, and it's nice to see that not absolutely everything is on Discord these days. I really like how that turned out.

I was wondering when they would finally change it. Guess some of the 2013 equipment is really aging to the point it needs to be replaced.

Definitely not surprised. First rumor I heard was that it was meant to stop airing at the end of July.

Not surprised they decided to take it off, rumor has it this was not intended to be a long term thing.

OCMs & Personalities / Dave Malkoff leaving TWC

« on: February 16, 2023, 06:03:45 PM »

I heard yesterday on Twitter that Dave Malkoff has officially left TWC after 10 years. He said his position was eliminated. Here's his official post on Twitter: https://twitter.com/malkoff/status/1625986329157705728

Is this a sign that more people may be getting axed in the near term? I sure hope not.

This will eventually end up being a disaster just like the last time and I know it.

I most certainly agree. All we can do is enjoy its last moments, and continue to enjoy it through the years of memories we have had with it.

I am personally just accepting the fact that I am glad it wasn't discontinued years ago. Do consider the computers running Weatherscan are now 20 years old, and I think it's a miracle that they have even lasted that long. I am sad to see it go as well, as I used to watch it all the time before it was removed from my Comcast lineup back in 2017. I'm glad it has stuck around this long, I will miss it very much, but it is time.

Here in the Chicagoland area, Weatherscan got me through a number of weather events. All those little thunderstorms over the past several years, blizzards, winter storms, even a couple of tornadoes. The music got me through those sleepless nights, you name it. I will miss it.
