Haha, TWC just wasted tons of money on the IS2 deployment only for the LOT8s to be scrapped.

Seeing how much weather is dominating the conversation lately even on here, would you all be interested in having the weather boards expanded to allow you all more room for model discussions, forecasting, or even perhaps a weather trivia game or forecasting contest?  I gave everyone ideas in that thread several months ago, but I haven't seen anyone else try it, and I really don't want to do it all by myself.  So, I'd like some help from my team and from all of you with thoughts.

I like that idea. In addition, with the decreasing amount of fans of present-day TWC in the forums, I think we should cut back a bit on our current TWC boards and make this more classic TWC oriented in addition to more weather topics. Like merge them all and just have one "Present TWC" forum. It may help bring more positivity to the forums and make it more inviting.

And I'm probably the only person here who says "I don't even care anymore."

The cheapest you can find in my area is now $3.43.

Ha, we're cheaper than you now... $3.31

That's why I go to school part time (3 classes) and work part time to balance things out, with more work hours during summer/breaks. Not like I'm in any hurry to graduate anyways.

Is the Death Cab for Cutie song still the instrumental cut from last year?

Banned for still having a winter signature when it's spring

I remember seeing my XL looping once for a while back in 2000. Can't remember if there was audio or not though.

This is quite a common occurrence for me.

Yeah, nothing unusual. Happens all the time this time of year when we're all at work/school.

None here besides Weatherscan on the high-end digital tiers. The two weather subchannels we had (NBC Plus and 6abc news now) were both shut down and replaced with lifestyle programming a few years back.

Like you and a lot of other longtime viewers, it just breaks my heart that TWC no longer cares about smooth jazz music or 2-minute LOT8s    I wish I could be TWC's programming director or the person who is in charge of the LOT8s. That way, the first thing I would do is eliminate the vocal music, bring back smooth jazz, cancel all long-form shows that have nothing to do with weather, and extend the LOT8s. But that is all just a fantasy, which brings even more pain and heartbreak 

Why do you still watch TWC then, if I may ask, if you don't like it anymore?
