| Classic TWC Satellite Local Forecast from May 2001 #1 | |
My favorite song by Benoit/Freeman is Struttin. That was played a lot in 04 also.Let's not forget his "From the Redwoods to the Rockies" duo with Craig Chaquico.. instant favorite of mineThere's also the Benoit/Freeman project. I remember hearing Palmetto Park back in 2004 and 2009
Happy 30th TWC... I have been following for 21 of those years. plenty of great material over the years (overall) along with great LF music.
They must have preempted at 5 and 6 PM for storm coverage.. if you're gonna preempt those two hours, then preempt all night for petes sake"Crystal Egger

Heading into hour #4 now - continuing coverage on TWC of severe weather (possible tornadoes) in MN, IL, IN, OH, KY & NC! Be safe everyone...it's gonna be a long night!"
They are done with storm coverage at 8pm and not back till 10pm ET. This is getting embarrassing.
If there are tornadoes on the ground they should provide live coverage.
What "continuing coverage" and hour #4 is she talking about?!?!Right now, Turbine Cowboys is on, and I surprisingly saw the tail end of Weather Caught on Camera at 7:58 CT, which is odd because weather.com advertises that WCL was supposed to be on then.
They can't, they have multiple overdue electric bills to pay. Why do you think the lighting is not always that great in the studio sometimes? They count on these shows to get them by.
I was exposed to smooth jazz as I knew it around late 1996/early 1997 by tuning in to the now-defunct WSJT 94.1, but I had already liked the music played on TWC since like 1995, without knowing exactly what it was. I have vivid memories of the songs by Kenny G, Trammell Starks, David Reinstein, Chris Camozzi, Craig Peyton, Torcauto Mariano, etc. But TWC and radio surely exposed me to the genre, and helped me to really appreciate it too. It was cool to hear songs that played on radio also on TWC, and vice versa. I remember a guy named Tom Sanchez would talk about songs like Brian Hughes being heard on TWC, and I think he had a crush on Jeanetta Jones.Frankly, I'm still shocked some of you even use TWC as your only source of music. There are plenty of other ways to find smooth jazz and other non-vocal songs that you're deeming as the only suitable music for a LF. TWC was never meant to be a music channel but rather a weather channel. All of us should be thankful that they even bothered to have music at all during the past 30 years!I didn't know what Smooth Jazz was as a 7 year old and I didn't have any interest in it until I started hearing artists like The Rippingtons, Pat Metheny, Spyro Gyra, etc. and then I thought, "Wow, this is nice!" I remember how the first time when I was 7 and I heard Linus and Lucy play during a snowstorm, I was thinking "Hey, it's the Charlie Brown Song! They're playing the Charlie Brown Song!" I would immediately start dancing and humming the song everytime it played. If there was nothing on that day, I would purposely leave it on TWC just so I could hear it again.
I had sent an email of a list of songs I heard on TWC to be played on the radio, including Suede and St. Elsewehere. As it turns out, about a year later, I heard Suede, and shortly after that, St. Elsewhere was being used. Right now, there are only maybe 4-5 songs I like right now. TWC has made up its mind to shun anything even remotely associated with smooth jazz, and it is mind boggling and sad. Indie jazz and new age artists will no longer get the major exposure they previously got. I am concerned that with the new musical direction, standards like Linus and Lucy won't be back Christmas time, but instead there will be a bunch of country, and rock and vocal music instead. 
A Beyonce song played on the 7:48 LF. Or am I just hallucinating due to finals frenzy?
I love Beyonce, but her music on the LOT8s just sounds weird. Was it an instrumental?
Though there is no press release, on air today they are mentioning The Weather Channel 30th Anniversary will be celebrated on May 2nd.
I really liked their "25 Years of Great Weather" campaign.
