That's just  awful that a racist man killed an innocent African-American kid for "self defense." People like him need to be sent to the chair, or better yet, shot and killed by another person just to see how they like it!

Any commercial that airs on TV or radio can come from anywhere, no matter who owns it or where it airs on. It's called "advertising"

General Discussion / Comcast/Xfinity Weather

« on: March 20, 2012, 11:46:20 PM »

Been meaning to ask this, but does anyone know where Comcast gets their weather forecasts from?

I've been checking out the local forecast option on the main menu recently and the weather forecasts don't exactly match the ones I see on the local news or on TWC (for example, everyone says rain but Comcast says snow.) 

This has been bugging me for a while. Any ideas on what and/or where the Comcast weather source might be?

Kim Cunningham about TWC Social, earlier tonight: "The Weather Channel now has a one-of-a-kind partnership with Twitter, it's called The Weather Channel Social..."

Yeah... we know that already for the thousandth time

Ugh! How many of these long-form shows do they need? It's really starting to piss me off

I saw the IS at :18 so everything appears to be working again

The IntelliStar appears to be out at the moment. Haven't seen a LF for the past 15 minutes

Just saw my IS and the error has been fixed. Ugly "Dick" is no more now, although it was a funny typo

On second thought, I'd rather not report that error. I kinda like it the way it is cause it's funny

General Discussion / An error on my IntelliStar's ad scroll...

« on: March 03, 2012, 12:49:07 AM »

Pretty sure this wouldn't fit under the LF discussion category, but here I go...

I caught this typo on my IS's ad scroll. The business is supposed to be called "The Ugly Duck" (a local lumber liquidation warehouse in Spokane, WA) but on the ad scroll it lists it as "The Ugly Dick."

I want to report the error, but who do I report it to? Does anybody know who controls what gets put on the IS ad crawls?

I'm not sure when this happened, but in program guides, Weather Center changed to its current title.

On the guide for Xfinity the title remains the same (no "Live")

Local Forecast / Emergency Feed Sightings

« on: February 15, 2012, 01:45:45 PM »

Saw the feed for a few seconds at 10:36AM PT, featuring Ryan Farish.

Might as well rename this topic to "Emergency Feed Sightings" since Trammell is no longer heard during the feed. Why did they get rid of Trammell from the emergency feed? It's disappointing and saddening
