Everything Else TWC / Re: General TWC Discussion

At about :31 after 3 PM this afternoon, I saw the Large LDL for a few minutes, then it cut to the small one about a minute later.

TWC has been doing that on the beginning 3's of every half hour since 11am (:03/:33) from what i've seen today.

Storm Stories was most likely pre-empted due to the excessive rains in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions.

Edit: WC started 1hr early

Does anyone know if the LDA and 33% LDL is ever coming back???  It never returned after Earl

From what Tyler said it's not "officially discontinued," so it probably will come back. There may have been issues or something with it.

Maybe it was the constant freezing on the HD LDA/LDL that prompted the change.

Local Forecast / Re: General LF Discussion

Did they remove or temporarily disable the traffic products from the :28/:58 and :08/:38 flavors? I've noticed that the local forecast has been ending on the 7 day. I haven't seen the :48 K flavor yet, so I don't know if it's still showing on there.

It might be a test for the new programming schedule?

The K is showing Marine after the Today's Forecast Metro page

I really like this idea TWC has been doing since yesterday @ 1pm EDT with the Traffic pages, maybe it's for the better because more "Weather Related" screens are being shown.

Seems a tad brighter on HD but dark on SD (maybe that's my TV.)

I personally like the LDA and 33% LDL - a lot more information can get conveyed that way.  And, since the regular programming on TWC has decided that weather is allowed to take a backseat at times, it seems like the LDA and larger LDL are the best way sometimes for getting real weather information.

I disagree, the LDA/LDL had to be the worst idea ever created for the HD channel

The Info would be better suited on a 33% LDL but it seems TWC hasn't budged on creating one.

It makes alot of sense to put longform on 5-7pm Monday - Friday because thats when local news is on and that's what most viewers are watching between that time.

I'm with Martin. Don't bother TWC with emails like that when you have insiders (like me and Martin) to tell you exactly what is going on.

I won't anymore, I'm sorry if i caused any trouble.

Nah its perfectly ok! We are just saying don't fill their inbox with all types of questions. I didn't know if Mike was implying that you should ask them about the ldl. Thats all

nope i didn't ask TWC about the ldl (if thats what you were implying) and i certainly do not fill TWC's inbox's with all sorts of questions

 i was just thinking it might be in some sort of testing because it was not showing any of the of the LDAs on the HD end.

Jim was just talking to Jon via skype @ :20 about the top 5 worst weather games for the 2010-11 NFL Season.

Jim also said the Game Time Wx Index is returning.

Another note to add. When you speak to anyone is any type of sales department they aren't necessarily going to tell you the truth. They are going to say whatever it takes to make their product or service seem fantastic and sugar coat any problems with it. I would advise against bothering the TWC Sales department with questions like the ones above.

But you have to think it was worth a shot to see if the sales would give somewhat of a definitive answer due to the very sluggish progress of the beta.
