Would be great if every show got pushed forward an hour and we had one less hour of non-weather programming

Yeah, I can see YWT being aired from 8-11AM. The Today Show airs until 11AM anyway.

General Discussion / How old is your school?

« on: May 08, 2009, 02:24:07 PM »

My high school was built in 1975. A second gymnasium and new hallway was added in 1991, and a major addition that made the school twice as big was built in 2001. My school, standing at least 400,000 square feet, currently serves about 2,600 students. The old 1975 portion was modernized significantly in 2006-2007.

The rules are not to hurt or bring down any one person but to keep things in check. I wasn't happy at how signatures were managed. Aaron feel free to put up a signature. You have 700 characters which I think is quite enough You dont have to remove it completely

I noticed the 7 line limit is still in effect, though. Is there still supposed to be a line limit in addition to a character limit?

Not as much as during the first season. From late 2002-September 2003, they played nothing but the Storm Stories LF opener weekdays from 5 AM-8 PM, except when TWC was in Alert Mode (later Storm Alert), which would preempt the show. The First Outlook and Your Weather Today LOT8's openers almost never played during this time frame as a result.

And plain defensive. Live by It was the bomb...i loved the theme music and station ID's they used before the lfs. I probably have a tape recorded with that ID somewhere.

I loved the music they used on the 2001-2003 station IDs. Especially the winter ones.

I actually liked the vocal music on the LF. It was only during the evening playlist, which I didn't mind. I wouldn't want to hear it all day, though.

The blue bar isn't going anywhere. If it's there, then most of the viewers find it useful. It's not just there for a decoration.

Seven seems fine to me. I can barely fit all of my links with seven, and my signature isn't long at all. Does anyone have an answer to the question I posted this morning?

I think the best solution to this is to set the default font size of signature to a lower size, like 1 instead of 2 like it is now. That would make it considerably shorter, and we could increase the limit a line or two. In fact, I think a character limit is better than a line limit, like, say, 500 characters. That's how it's like in most forums, and the signatures would turn out better that way.

TWC must of gotten TONS of complaints if the concept only lasted for a day.

Today marks two years since TWC tried out the failed "No Repeat Workday" concept, and the start of narration-free primetime playlists which lasted for nearly five months.

I still have clips during that night that were on my YT account, which were removed due to copyright infringement.

All the hype has kinda worn some of the excitement off for me

As is the case with pretty much any other show TWC has advertised since late 2002.
