Hmm, the green wall seems intriguing...you know, just because I don't know much about broadcasting, I'll say #1.

I've taken part in a regional weather broadcast.
I've celebrated the 4th of July in the hometown of Frederic Bartholdi, the designer of the Statue of Liberty.
I've been to every continent except Australia.

Nope, #2.

As for Trevor, #2?

Si...it's actually WC.

Darn, i should've posted it but oh well, The Plant City Freeze graphic was using the XL V3 Background. it was at a different angle.

Did you capture this?? for sure it must have been a dedication to me if they were talking about the temps here and used a diff. bg

@Alex: What time was it? I might be able to find it on DVR.

My favorite TWC show is Day Planner.

Wow. Just wow. Have you not read previous playlist threads? It is not ALL Smooth Jazz, but there are always a few songs on each playlist that are Smooth Jazz.

Has anyone watched the show "Strange Addictions" on TLC?  Very interesting show.  There are people who are addicted to eating chalk, eating/drinking laundry detergant, tanning, cats, wearing a costume.  Weird stuff, but definitely interesting.

I've seen it, but get this: there is a new Cocaine substitute....

BATH SALT

Yes, people are snorting bath salt. What has this world come to.

WeatherSTAR Tech Support / Wrong STAR ID?

« on: January 16, 2011, 09:08:45 AM »

I woke up this morning and turned the TV on just in time to catch the Station ID. I noticed that the STAR ID was labeled as 021436 (or 021438, I really don't know because it was on a 19" TV that I have in my bedroom, and I just woke up....) I know for sure it was NOT 024131 like it normally is.

Thank you for looking into this!

I am recording and the video will be up shortly.

What happened:
The local forecast ended.
It was time for a weather update, but obviously they weren't ready. The lights were off and nothing was being keyed out.
They then abruptly cut off Nichole (who was talking like nothing happened) and went to Trammell.
Trammell lasted about 15 seconds, before going to Cantore Stories.

Just commented on her Facebook:

TWC Viewer: Dude are u gone? I noticed that they seem to be going with younger and sexier ppl. I thought you were more than qualified.


Nichole: Younger, sexier, and in my case, someone who won't cause an "incovenience" to the company by needing time off for military service. (Of course, no reason was given, but that was the only thing the NBC folks ever complained about in reference to my work performance.)

So, did anyone hear that Verizon is coming out with the iPhone 4 next year? I confirmed it with Verizon representatives.

I'm sure you did.

I agree. Not one Verizon or Apple PR has mentioned or made an official press release report that Verizon was getting the iPhone 4.

I'm getting tired of these Verizon iPhone rumors.

Well, the "rumors" have come true.
Verizon will be releasing the iPhone 4 on February 10, with existing customers able to pre order on February 3.

*SAGE Endec

Aren't those illegal, too?

FYI, for anyone who doesn't know....the SAGE Endec is the machine that receives and rebroadcasts the Emergency Alert System over the air.
