A few minutes ago, I heard Vince Guaraldi's "Christmastime Is Here" on SiriusXM Channel 17.

Banned because it's a sea lion, as it doesn't have tusks like walruses do.

Looks like the Dish STAR is still cuing the old LOT8s bug on the satellite LF with the current graphics.

Programming and Graphics / Re: New Graphics coming to TWC

TWC should probably double-check their changes    because there is an error with the Vocal Local. When a long text-based forecast is being narrated, the narration is not shortened for timing unlike with the old STAR graphics. Instead, the narration gets cut off abruptly at the end of the product time.

I just had to make this 



The background image is from a traffic cam found on the Connecticut's DOT website. The image of Falco was photoshopped out of a biography book cover. The line "It's getting weird" references to a lyric from Falco's song "Männer des Westens - Any Kind of Land".

Even though I personally believe that The Weather Channel's idea of naming winter storms still sounds ridiculous, it sometimes has its funny moments.
