Programming and Graphics / Re: This is not your grandfather's weather channel

« on: May 25, 2012, 11:16:03 AM »

Speaking of the elderly, I can't imagine what one old person might saying if they came across long-form programming on TWC. They might be saying, "Hey, where's my weather?!?" I bet almost none of the old people have all the fancy computer and internet technology and smartphones like the younger people do, where they get their weather from nowadays. The elderly would just probably stop watching TWC altogether and just watch something else on the tube. I think the programming director at TWC needs to think about that IMO

A local real estate agency in Long Beach, WA (the same one my girlfriend and I visited earlier this month) phoned me last week about another rental place (the previous one we submitted an app for was apparently taken by someone else) that is about to be vacated imp. The previous location on the app we submitted for will be forwarded to the soon-to-be-vacated location imp. We plan to head back to LB next week to check out the place imp. It looks promising for us to move hopefully by the end of next month imp

No more 2-minute Flavors at :28 and :58 each hour during Weather Center Live.

Day Planner didn't have those flavors either

At :08 a 60-second flavor aired 

First the music, now the reduction of LF flavors? I sense major controversy coming...

I was walking home from a walk to the store and I got caught in a downpour imp. I made a run for my house, despite being all rain-soaked imp. Not so pleasant to be walking around in a rainstorm imp

TWC IntelliSTAR- Spokane, WA- June 3, 2005- 5:29PM PDT

I had a request to upload a clip of this 60-second STAR flavor from 2005. Can anyone ID this song?

General Discussion / Re: For those who still own VCRs

« on: May 19, 2012, 11:02:30 PM »

I have owned a Mangavox DVD recorder/VCR combo box (pic shown on attachment) since my 22nd birthday in December of 2009. Bought it at a local Wal-Mart for about $160.

I had already transferred all of my old VHS-recorded TWC tapes to DVDs with this box. I still use it, mainly for recording TWC and other stuff on TV as well as transferring old VHS tapes to DVD. It's the best device I've ever bought and used IMO, and it's still in excellent condition

Is anyone besides me seeing the satellite L-bar, whereas the local IntelliSTAR L-bar hasn't been cuing at all today?

On my local accuweather channel, they were playing Storm Stories this morning. They played it for an hour, then looped back to the weather feed with music. Has anyone heard of Storm Stories playing on channels outside of TWC? The older episodes were my favourite, but they were playing the episode of the March 2006 Missouri tornado

Occasionally on my TV guide, I've seen syndicated versions of SS airing on my local ABC affiliate as well as on my local MyNetworkTV affiliate (both channels are shared by the same local news group.)

General Discussion / Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there!

Couldn't find a topic about today, so I thought I create one myself.

Here's to all of our mothers, including my own. They gave life to us, raised us, took care of us, and made us who we are today. Without them, none of us would be here today. Hats off to our moms!

Everything Else TWC / Re: Blooper Thread

A big TWC logo (not the IS one or national LDL one) appeared by itself before going to the commercials at about 6:25, like it did pre-2010.

What do you mean?

Rememeber how when a segment would start, before the LDL cued, the TWC logo appeared, the logo would appear by itself? That's what it looked.

The logo you were referring to appeared again at 10:23PM EDT. From what I've seen, it looked like it was part of the 7-day forecast graphics. Adam Berg had his feet over the logo so I'm certain that the logo is part of the graphics.
