I heard a generic vocal soft-rock song on the local forecast when I caught a few minutes of WUWA this morning. I wonder if that song is part of the WUWA rotation

Andrea, that's what I do. I listen to my stations when I'm working.

Has anyone seen this AQ screen before?

Did that come right after a commercial? And yes, I saw this before, but not recently.

While I may be chastising WUWA, I think it's a good marketing strategy. I hope it works out to TWC's advantage.

I'd rather go back to the days of Ernesto/Alberto coverage. At least that dealt with weather.

Do you think we'll see an apology from the parties responsible for wasting so much coverage time?

I'm lucky to live where barely anyone knows what Dunkin Donuts is. It's not that I don't like Dunkin Donuts, it's just the Woo-Wah promotions. I am spoiled with a large number of Starbucks stores per capita.

What the hell is wrong with them? Two days before, I was watching them for the California storm coverage, and now they're just BS'ing their way through the broadcast.

Also, it seems like the OCM's are getting unlimited vacation time, because 9 out of 10 days there is a fill-in sometime in the day.

I have several songs repeating. I tried to add variety to the stations and giving thumbs down ratings for some, but most of my stations are still repeating themselves.

I don't think there's much need for radio or CD's, or maybe even iTunes when you're addicted to Pandora. I'm considering subscribing to the ad-free premium Pandora.

Just when Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade couldn't get more weird. Seeing Jay Leno's face on a float would make the entire parade worthwhile.

I do, and it's the perfect site to get to know new artists by listening to those you like. I've been using it for a month, and I love it. If you have it, what music do you have on your Pandora stations?

Along with a dozen of alternative stations, I have one station solely for TWC music. Artists like Ryan Farish and Chris Geith pop in often.

El Nino will make a brutal entrance tomorrow. Northern and Central California is in for heavy rain and fast winds. Link

If the tsunami were to be a real threat, we would've known about it sooner and the media would cover it deeper.

General Weather Chat / Tsunami Bulletin

« on: September 29, 2009, 07:16:28 PM »

A magnitude-8 earthquake in Pacific could give way to a tsunami. On TWC, there was a bulletin for my area, but it doesn't seem like it is a major emergency. Here is a link to a Seattle Times article.
