Local Forecast / Re: Emergency Feed Sightings

« on: October 02, 2013, 09:55:12 AM »

The Local Forecast and the national version for those who don't have the IS or or IS2 are not running and we are getting the emergency feed.

On the national HD feed it has a black screen and the national LDL when there is no local forecast then the emergency feed kicks in.

TWCHD 20131002 0859

On the SD channel were are still getting the IS local LDL bar at the bottom with local information.

There are more non weather reality shows coming.  TWC just did a survey for the best name to use for a show about ocean spear fishing.

TWC is back to having their OCMs do opinion segments.
They are doing one called Wind Tunnel where 2 OCM's get 30 seconds to give their opinion on a  weather related question.
The OCM's are there to give forecasts they should not be doing opinion segments.

The spam text on the top left is unnecessary and blocks the show graphics.

At least they are still playing Matthew C. Shuman's piano instrumentals throughout out the day.
No offense to The Bunny the Bear but their songs are way to hard rock do not belong on the local forecast.

TWC is airing new episodes of "Weather Caught on Camera.".
They are using just a voice over and Mike Bettes is no longer the host.
Hopefully this means other shows actually about weather like "Storm Stories" are going to have new episodes produced.

OCMs & Personalities / Re: Jennifer Lopez returns to TWC

« on: September 09, 2013, 01:07:53 PM »

Jen is subbing for Vivian today. I guess it's safe to say she is a regular fill-in OCM.
It would be nice if TWC put out a press release or added her bio back to weather.com.
