Banned for banning me for a pointless reason.

The new Master operator has used nothing but EE music for the past two nights, and plenty of it, too!

Are they still doing this? When I saw EEWC last Friday night for an hour or so, no EE music was played at all (or any music for that matter).

Yes, Soul Cafe's songs were retitled as Samuel Lincoln on TWC's playlists.

People may of just thought July was the first playlist by the new programmer because the music used was a lot different than the May 2007 playlist, but the new programmer seems to use completely different artists each month with only three songs at best being carried over from the previous month. Steve used to carry a lot of songs from recent playlists onto the next month's playlist.

Notice how though that on the Thunderstorm and Precip forecasts, the title bar is still using the old theme.

Yeah, the title bars on the national segments weren't updated until about a month and a half after the relaunch. I always wondered why those two screens on the satellite forecast don't use the same banners as the other screens (radar/satellite, 3-day forecast, etc).

In case you are wondering what the song is, it's "You and Me" by Soul Cafe.

No, because I saw a clip on YouTube of the relaunch, and when First Outlook started the IntelliStar still showed the old logo on the LDL. It had to be sometime between 5AM and 8AM when the IntelliStars and XL's were updated, judging from clips I've seen.

Ummm...vocal music, yes. Music programmer change, no. He came aboard in July of last year. Refer to the July 2007 thread. 

Nope, it was May 2007. I remember Matt (twcclassics) receiving an email from Steve Hurst that month and he said a new person have took over when the vocal music started.

Today marks one year since the LF music programmer change, and the night of the vocal music.

Thanks Mike. Though I'm sure I'm wrong, I don't think I've ever seen the satellite LF where the daypart forecasts were for one day, but the regional forecasts were showing the next day already.

If it's showing the forecast for Tuesday, then that clip could be from August 16. This version was brand new at the time though, so it could very well just be a bug or something.

Here's one that I have, from the morning of August 15. I didn't record this, nor do I know who did.

TWC Today News / Re: Site Design Vote

Gary, are you aware that the search engine on the site is not working? When I type in the search box, it directs me back to the front page rather than a search results page.

Also, not sure if you plan on doing this or not, but you should probably also make the text on the entire site white. Right now only the front page has white text. It's difficult for me to read the black text over the somewhat dark background.

The weather over the next week is expected to be warm for a good portion of Hawaii with a minimal chance of precipitation for the most part, making it good vacationing weather.

I think I remember hearing the full controlled Weather Center (which only airs weekends) recently started showing the summer opener. They haven't on the mastered WC, for some reason.

IMO, the winter WC opener is nicer than the summer version. Same with YWT.
