« on: May 25, 2009, 01:42:42 AM »Just curious phw115wx...lol...I will just call you that till I figure out your name but what school did you went to for grad school? Because I'm really interested in schools that have a speciality in understanding the ingredients for severe weather. Someone referred me to U of OK because it's great in that. I have also heard Penn State, U of Kansas. But U of OK has a 20,000 stipend which is one other thing that is attracting me to this school.I went to Penn State University for undergrad and the University at Albany for grad school. Rod, the University of Oklahoma is definitely the top choice if you like thunderstorms and tornadoes, so I'd urge you to apply there.
However, the University at Albany is your only choice if you want to follow in Ray Stagich's footsteps.

If it's anything like any of the other Severe Weather Updates I've seen in HD, they would have turned the LDA on throughout the duration of the update.

Most headends aren't staffed, so if the STAR is still out, no matter what the problem is, it means that no one noticed yet. A loose cable or software issue are still feasible.

Warren was officially gone for three months in 2007 before accepting the position as a freelancer.

The video wall looks really dark right now. I hope it's not about to go out again.

Based on what they said, it was their decision to leave. Sharon said she just wanted to retire and spend time with her kids. Jeff said he left on good terms with them (he basically left for greener pastures like Warren Madden did because TWC didn't offer him a good enough schedule). Jeff found a better job at SFL, and he took it.

There aren't going to be any new long-form timeslots; it's only going to air in the already-established long-form times.
On weekdays, three days will feature Storm Stories; the other two days will feature that "Tornado!" special. On weekends, Storm Session: Nature's Fury will also be repeated. They'll also air tornado-themed episodes of WWCH, FFN, and ICHT on the weekends in their usual timeslots.

These two OCMs likely replace Sharon Resultan and Jeff Mielcarz, who both left on their own will.

1. It looks to just be reruns of February. Usually the Zap2It guide is spot on.
2. Horrible slogan. Ridiculously dramatic for a series of reruns.
3. I imagine the live national programming will be full of annoying crap.

They're back to using the old schedule for PME today. I wonder if it's going to vary or if this new schedule will be exclusive to DP.

Everything Else TWC / Complete change of TWC hourly program schedule
« on: May 18, 2009, 01:17:14 PM »
Not only did the IS flavors change today, but now during Day Planner, all LFs except the :28 and :58 are only one minute long, and there is now an extra minute of advertising after the :08 and :38 LFs (which are actually starting at :09 and :39 right now), so the DP segment doesn't start until :11 and :41. Great, they took away more weather content and replaced it with flippin' ads. (at least an extra 4 minutes of ads per hour, maybe more)
Not sure if this will apply to all shows or just the shows that use this program format (DP, PME, Sunrise Weather)
