Local Forecast / Re: Squeezeback during Long Form
« on: March 03, 2013, 01:40:50 PM »Recently, TWC stopped using letterbox for the 1AM WCL on the SD feed, so they reverted back to full screen, full time.
I guess that defeats the purpose of recording the 1am WCL, the reason the LDL would be a great addition is the Morning and Evening formats TWC uses with WUWA, Morning Rush and WCL since they only do

« on: March 03, 2013, 12:12:18 PM »The problem with the setup above is that on the SD feed it would be fine for the 33% LDL in those situations, but not on the HD feed. On the HD feed, it's not letterboxed so any data on the bottom would get cut off, unlike on the SD feed which is letterboxed
I think it happened 1 time on the HD feed as well, i'll see if i record the 1am WCL the next couple nights to see if it happens again.

I noticed lately there is alot of missing space between the graphics and the LDL, the 33% could fit.

Local Forecast / Re: General LF Discussion
« on: March 03, 2013, 09:53:47 AM »While that format of the squeezeback would be okay for IS viewers, it wouldn't be for all others.. in that time alone, those without an IntelliStar saw maybe about 5-10 cities on the LDL out of all the possible cities, which may have not included their own.
If you had a choice Zach would you like to see the 33% LDL during the whole duration of a Long Form show? or would the Squeezeback be suitable?

I wish TWC would use this squeezeback again during long-form, which features the big LDL. Then I think they should use the smaller LDL full time during the rest of the long-form program just like they used to do, instead of cuing the small LDL at :08/:38, :28/:58, etc.
Thanks Jim for posting that, the squeezeback during longform is what i was trying to refer to.
and for those viewers with the IS2 they could finally see the Marine Product on the LDL.

« on: March 02, 2013, 04:40:29 PM »Does anyone miss the 33% LDL and should it return? or do a agree with TWC for removing it?I feel that takes up too much of the screen during a live segment. I prefer a smaller LDL.
I really liked the radar on the Large LDL, it would be awesome if the Smaller LDL had the radar on the left side instead of ad space.

« on: March 01, 2013, 02:08:26 PM »Tell him the lot8s are still important. I can't view several products on the dtv and have always missed the locals due to them being so short. Having the IS2 is pointless with fewer lfs but again management could care less
Hopefully you can send a reply on Monday when you have a chance, i think i already got most the info i could get.

You are okay, GT. I know you are a weather involved viewer and I do mean that I pass your comments on in my weekly report. We are trying to convince programming the need for meteorological info and that the customers demand it. I just don't make the decisions unfortunately...I am a meteorologist and have been here since '84, so I understand met info's importance.

Local Forecast / Fate of the 2 Minute Locals
« on: March 01, 2013, 11:20:46 AM »
I spoke with B. Farmer from TWC and here is the latest reply about the situation (to avoid anymore rumors.)
Quote
as of now, 2 minute locals are out (generally-there are 2 which play on the weekend 4:28am local), however, don't give up hope. We have been working on the programming department to see if they will increase the length of the locals in the future as they are always evaluating the process.
