Currently hearing Ready to play by Nils on Sonictap

that song is depressing

Ready to Play sounds kind of upbeat to me.  Anyway, I heard The Thrill is Gone by BB King on Music Choice R&B Classics.

I just watched their crappy update in disgust a few minutes ago. There are severe thunderstorms going on as we speak in Nebraska, the Twin Cities, and Oklahoma City. Paul Goodloe just casually said "there could be golfball-sized hail", and then it immediately went back to "Surviving the Elements."  There have to be tornados involved for TWC to even consider preempting their crummy programming. It has gotten beyond ridiculous.

Well, tonight probably is the best time to listen, since it's the Saturday Night Dance Party.

I don't really get what the big deal is, TWC has been going down for awhile and this adds to the misery.

TWC has made a obvious concerted effort to not cover actual weather, and become an entertainment/reality channel.  I'm surprised that they don't simulcast the Country Music Awards on TWC.

I really want to see how TWC and their stubborn and arrogant entertainment/reality agenda are going to handle the hurricane season, if it is as active as predicted.

I am sure that in the case of a US landfall, they will preempt programming.

I hope so, because they don't sure don't cover severe weather like they used to, unless tornadoes occur or are forecasted. Yesterday, there was severe weather, with warnings in the midwest. They continued to show programming, only with the update every 30 min. A few days ago, the same situation happened. There were strong thunderstorms somewhere, and during the update the OCM (can't remember who it is) casually said "there could be damaging winds and some hail" as if it's no big deal. They then continued with regularly scheduled programming.
