Local Forecast / Re: May 2013 Playlist

« on: April 27, 2013, 07:57:24 AM »

I haz a feeling this is another "best of" playlist before changes are made to LOT8s, similar to what happened in 2009 and 2011. So I would enjoy this while it lasts...

Vic, I hope you realize that is Eltiempo10's XL video from 2004 that some random teenybopper took a video of with his camera with a different song dubbed in...

Local Forecast / Re: What is that song on the locals in the afternoons?

« on: April 22, 2013, 11:05:11 PM »

Is it any of the songs here? https://twctodayforums.com/forums/local-forecast/april-2013-playlist/

Simply describing the song isn't going to help much unfortunately. Can you by chance try and record an audio clip of the song the next time you hear it?

Programming and Graphics / Re: New Graphics coming to TWC

Very true. Its part of the reason why the Local on the 8s has changed to a simpler form. When the IS launched it was all about features, features, features! Bus forecasts, ski forecasts, getaway forecasts, etc. Now its a more concise set of information geared toward whats relevant to the user.

Just curious, but do you personally like the direction TWC is going toward?

You can't help but wonder what she thinks about the new "changes" to TWC...

I'm sure she's just grateful she has a job.

So glad to see her back. Always been a fan of her enthusiasm.

This year has been very rough for me, and I really hope things will turn around later in 2013.

Why, what's been happening?

60°F Overcasat

The rain from my previous post netted 0.36", which means the total precipitation is already up to 2.50" for this month and 14.92" for this year so far.

9.35" here for the year. Despite the 2 inch deficit we still have more rain for the year than we did this time last year, plus more than twice the amount of snowfall.

I got mine done early this month, but got a rather small refund since I was in and out of jobs last year.

Everything Else TWC / Re: General TWC Discussion

A new annoying thing that started today is they are keeping the "Connect With" OCM Facebook and Twitter lower third on screen during the entire forecast segment.
All it does is add more clutter to the screen and not need to be on more then a few seconds.

Most of the other NBC owned channels and affiliates do this too, so I'm not surprised. Like on the Today Show, where the Facebook and Twitter icons are constantly on the screen.
