Jeff and Jen are doing all three hours together today, and with the theme of desk rotation, the desk is rotated the only way they haven't done it yet: with the A&B desk behind it.

That's odd, I would think a show like FO would broadcast in front of the video wall or the LCD screen (where EEWC broadcast). IMO, that map backdrop more fits with the daytime shows (Day Planner and Weather Center).

If yes, not anytime soon. The deal doesn't close until year's end, and it will take awhile after that before NBC takes TWC videos off of YouTube. So you have plenty of time to enjoy them.

You have a good and valid point there with Weather Plus' LDL. Holy crap, Mike... that's a live emulator feed you have going there?

Yes, it's not my emulator though. I had volunteered to stream the emulator online for the developer. For more info, go here.

I can see Weatherscan being merged though. It's L-bar was likely implemented to compete with WeatherPlus.

I've been actually saying that catchphrase as well in recent weeks.

TWC has already been doing stuff of its own to go downhill.

Indeed. If it only gets worse it won't bother me much.

According to this, there are no plans on merging TWC with weatherplus anytime soon, so that's good news. I fear Weatherscan may see big changes though, seeing how that channel much more similar to weatherplus than TWC.

So what changes could we expect with TWC now that NBC has bought them?

Weatherscan, one of my favorite channels, will likely be gone, and they'll probably get rid of the WeatherStars since NBC does not know how to operate them.

Local Forecast / Re: New SD Satellite LF flavor lineups

I haven't seen a 1 minute flavor in a long time. I thought they play K flavors now at the end of long form programming..

It depends on the shows. It seems the newer shows that premiered from 2007 on use the 1:30 flavors, but the older shows (like Storm Stories and ICHT/FFN) use the one minute flavor at :29/:59.

Well, his ThunderFever account is still open. That other account is his "back-up account."

Are they showing another one minute flavor at :58?

Yes, the one minute flavors usually air at :29/:59 during long-form.

I got this iBook as a Christmas present in 2004, and I've had my Compaq PC since October 2005. I also have a Power Mac G3 which we got in Spring 1999, whose performance hasn't been good in recent years and is dieing (it will soon be replaced, probably with an iMac or MacBook). There's also a late 80's/early 90's Macintosh IIci that has been sitting on the shelf since we got the G3.
