Um.....it's been back since October 2009. Daytime is exclusively smooth jazz.

Warren Madden and Maria Larosa on Weekend Now.
You know, I've just noticed a lot of songs in the playlist have weird titles like "Come Undone", "Handle on You", "In a Square Circle", "Physical Therapy", and so forth. I thought it's food for thought lol even though this playlist is going to end by this week or early next week.
As Donald Duck would say, "Okay. You asked for it! Hahaha."
1 - Get rid of any feature that isn't directly related to weather.
2 - Replace all current long-form programming with shows about weather, lead by people in the weather business.
3 - Actually explain what's happening and why.
4 - Don't use new technology unless it's beneficial to the viewer. (And if you do use it, make sure the viewer can actually see it.)
5 - Use the playlist longer than a month or two.
6 - Add some real variety to the playlists (ie. stop using the same songs/artists, stop playing rock and vocal music).
7 - Don't play an indie artist unless their music is available online somewhere.
8 - Severe weather coverage always trumps recorded programming.
9 - Make graphics more readable (ie. increase font sizes, remove layers that hide or blur info below them).
10 - Hire/retain people with experience, not perceived sex appeal.
11 - Fire people that aren't professional (ie. Stephanie, Al)
12 - Get rid of all the crap on the screen (a small lower-third is more than enough).
13 - Stop hyping the weather.
14 - Stop taking on political causes (ie. global warming).
15 - Make the non-map graphics more interesting (ie. stop using cloud backgrounds).
BTW, what the heck is the "Digital Media Center" and "Tap That App?"
