SNL did a skit about TWC last night. A few OCMs have posted about it, even though it is clearly making fun of all of the longform they have been running. They also feature Jeanetta Jones for some reason.

While this may never happen in a million years, here is my concept of what the squeezeback might look like for WeatherSTAR 4000 viewers, complete with the radar, current conditions, and a space for ad crawls, similar to the IntelliSTAR squeezeback. What do you guys think?

I suffered a cramp in my left calf last night while I was asleep    I woke up almost instantly when I felt the pain and attempted to stand up to put some weight on my calf, which helped a lot. As of this morning my lower leg is still a little sore, but at least it's improving

Basically, TWC is trying to copycat every other news network: more reality/long-form and less live programming

Here is an updated version of my Weatherscan artwork, only this time it is in "Severe Weather Mode" for the strong storms that occurred outside the Little Rock, AR area about an hour ago. Cool, huh?

I wish it was warmer here on the NW coastline    It's just a little too darn cold here IMO

I think that TWC will probably just cue the legacy STAR units over the L-bar segments as before, without making any new L-bars for those units, like in this video clip:

My area isn't under this, but Astoria and the coastline south of the town is under a high wind watch from tomorrow evening through Sunday at noon PDT.

If TWC is going to eliminate full screen LOT8s for IS and IS2 viewers, they would also have to think about adding new LDLs and squeezebacks for legacy STAR units that are still in use by some cable headends    Otherwise, XL, 4000 and Junior viewers won't be able to see their local weather anymore.
