The LFs I've seen today are back to 90 seconds, even at times ending in :28 and :58, with the daypart forecast but no radar.

TWC is still doing Extended Coverage which is why the 2 Minute locals aren't showing

Are the 2-minute LFs only on certain dayparts right now? Yesterday, I saw that the LF at 5:28 PM CT was only :90.

So far it's been sporadic since the Extended Coverage started, it should return when the normal schedule begins.

With the 24 + hour live storm coverage and the storms being severe it might be time to switch to instrumental music.
Just my opinion, the pop and rock songs just don't fit with the coverage.

With all this severe weather going on would it seem the extended coverage might continue until Saturday?

and i wish they would put the Emergency Playlist on instead of the same bland vocals since December.

Hopefully they added the 2 minute locals to the Weekend Schedule.

Was there a reason behind the sudden discontinuation of the ID screen?    It's been around for a really long time.

My best guess is since the Star ID is at the bottom of the IntelliStar they saw no more use for the screen anymore.

I briefly went downstairs to check TWC and saw a 2 minute LF playing at 1:58

Hopefully they do return in full but let's wait and see since Severe Weather is Forecasted tomorrow, which means Extended Coverage would continue.

a couple 2 Min flavors did air at 12:58pm and 1:58pm ET but haven't appeared since TWC started Extended Coverage at 2pm.

I think the Taiganet post was absolutely false.

I wouldn't call this false yet, Swindam still works at TWC as far i can tell and he is usually active in the Feedback Forums.

We'll see if the 2 minute locals do indeed come back tomorrow.

Local forecast update must be delayed due to the extended coverage for winter storm luna. Hopefully the 2 minute locals will return tomorrow at 11:08am ET.

the deal still has to be approved by the NBA's board of governors.

It should be approved soon, it's nice to hear the Sonics are returning.
