I dig that song! It's quite original.

Welcome to the forums. I look forward to hearing your music on TWC.

TWC has officially put First Outlook on the backburner by giving it the overnight playlist. It used to be a respected weather show, now it's not.

Is WCWC West Coast Weather Center? Has he been on the air or just on weather.com?

YouTube died a long time ago. Every bad thing that happens is just another nail in the coffin for them.

The media is like a 4-year-old. It becomes obsessed with one thing, and becomes obsessed with another every month.

Jackson is born......a Hurricane came within 2305 miles of Jackson, putting his early life into extreme danger
Jackson turns 5...........Weather Channel begins hurricane coverage for the first time, which changed the lives of weather viewers forever

That would mean that TWC started hurricane coverage in 1963.

One thing did happen on Michael Jackson's birthday: The landfall of Katrina.

Oh no...

I expect rushed production, since they only have a few days from the announcement of his death to this special being on air.

Yeah, TWC talking about swine flu earlier. WTF does that have to do with weather? I'm sitting here with two severe thunderstorm warnings for my county; that should be their top story right now.

They are 2-3 months late, that is, with the swine flu story (word/term of 2009 nominee). You're right, they need to focus on severe weather.

If I was in your situation, I would've talked to the teacher or my guidance counselor. If there is more than one period of the mass class you were taking, you could've asked your counselor to change your class schedule, so you wouldn't be distracted.

Because you're Scott Williams.

Should Storm Stories be cancelled?

Would love to have an extra hour of live weather coverage although i doubt they would start at 3am

If that were to happen, First Outlook would be Overnight Outlook, just one hour later.

TWC is now officially called TWNC.

The

From what I've heard in an article about TWC's future, it may be true.

Everything Else TWC / Re: TWC overusing production music

« on: June 25, 2009, 05:05:08 PM »

I liked the EE music package. I didn't the Abrams & Bettes music, and the current Weather Center music is just a cheap snippet of A&B.
