It will barely reach TS status, enough to get TWC all up in a hissy fit. I am curious what the storm does after landfall. Models have been everywhere with it

Oddly enough, the show still fits on MTV. In fact, I think it fits even more. MTV is basically the go-to cable network for all things trash.

Yep its right up their alley. Like family guy it will be based off a show that had mediocre original ratings but generated a semi following of support simply because it was cancelled

TWC and your Cable Company / Re: Would you get national feeds?

« on: August 10, 2010, 03:36:17 AM »

Not to be rude, but I don't really understand this topic. How many national feeds of certain channels are there?

TWC is the special one here and i guess the tv guide channel or something. Most every other cable channel has one feed. The national feed as we call it is for folks who do not have access to a local forecast computer (ie Intellistar/WeatherSTAR). If that computer were to crash or become unavailable the viewer would see a "national" forecast in its place

Thanks for posting! I like the graphics and animation, but it is kind of distracting in a way, especially with all the flares and stuff.

I like it, but there is a little bit too much animation.

Its like pixie dust there at the start. That could be reduced a little. Remember TWC is trying to get cable companies to shell out money for something they dont really need. Its gonna have all the bling bling and flashy stuff they can cram in

Hope he can find another job in Florida. Itd be nice if he was able to come here

If I recall correctly, he doesn't actually live in Florida... He travels by plane between Florida and Atlanta as I don't recall him relocating his wife and kids.

That is true I forgot about that.

General Discussion / Re: ABC Family to Become ABCF

« on: August 10, 2010, 03:29:02 AM »

I'm not surprised at all. In fact, it makes sense. I've asked for awhile why it's called ABC Family, when judging from its programming, it clearly is not a "family" channel. Sure, they're nowhere near as bad as MTV, but having the word family in the channel name is rather misleading.

Could not have said it better myself. ABC Family was intended to show programming suitable for all ages and families. However that doesn't get the ratings. Throw in some teenage sex scandal show with all kinds of crap and you got higher ratings. I am not bad mouthing the shows its just I wouldnt want a pre 13 year old watching Secret Life of Blah Blah.

If having "Family" in part of the name is in the contract, why are they changing it? Did the contract expire?

Well the channel will still probably be officially called ABC Family but it will only be referenced by ABCF. I didnt see any confirmation of this change either other than that blog post
