Actually, I don't think it's that bad. It's beyond what I had expected. Though, they could make the radar bigger.

These didn't come from me, or this forum. Oh, and to make things easier, don't ask any questions. Just wait for the damn thing to launch.

Where did they come from?

They do that only to get viewers to use the feature. At least it's better than the satellite forecast where you can't get your own forecast if you don't live in a big city.

There's not much on there yet, but I'm working on it.

So this will be even more local? If so, I have a even better service to switch to than Verizon!

Nope, I'd say this is permanent. TWC's official schedule has WWCH at 9PM and 12AM. However, the schedule says the 3AM long-form block will be discontinued (both weekdays and weekends), as well as the 11PM and 1AM blocks on weekends. This means EE will air 8-9, 10-12, & 1-4 ET weekdays, and 10-12 & 1-4 ET on weekends (PME will still air at 8PM on weekends). I wonder if Steph and Mike will host the 8PM hour of weekday EE then?

As for weekends, we may end up seeing three shifts of OCM's working from 2PM-4AM now instead of two because of the discontinuation of overnight long-form programming. Looks like this means we'll see various OCM pairings on Weather Center just like how it was pre-2005.

There's also no mentioning of ICHT and FFN from 2-4 PM weekdays, so that long-form block can't be permanent.

PM Edition is still two hours long, from 5-7 PM. A&B however is back to being a one hour show.

Have we found out about the name, or at least heard of

this Feb 07 primetime song

yet? It sounds like it could be Jeanne Ricks, as it sounds a lot like one of my other clips from Nov 06. I came across this and several other songs on tape recently and completely forgot about them. See others from this timeframe on my YouTube.

Does BP no longer use Amoco's fuels? When I was filling up my tank the other day I noticed the Amoco logo is no longer shown on the price list.

Why have WWCH at 9PM and 12AM on weekdays? Those are the times when people plan their next day! 8PM and 11PM are better times IMO, since it's right after the national news and game show programming. I can't believe the "average viewers" can stand all of this.

Has anyone got any luck in getting Andrew Korus's "Hello There" ?

We'll never get that song. People have tried contacting him over the phone and they either get negative responses or no answer.
