I just noticed I have now the interactive version of TWC on channel 213 on DISH. Is anyone else also seeing this? It has the local weather conditions with the current IS icons and fonts and everything. I'll try to take a photo and upload it tomorrow. It reminds me of the DirecTV LOT8s.

Looks like NBC no longer wants TWC due to falling ratings

RIP. He was one of my favorite TWC artists!! One cannot forget "Hippies on a Corner". That and Black is the Color from July 2006 were my favorite songs. I was surprised to hear of his death, I thought he was in relatively good health?

TWC and your Cable Company / Re: Cablevision Inconsistency

« on: August 23, 2014, 06:20:50 PM »

Hey,

I am a subscriber to Cablevision here in NY and I am on the Farmingdale IS2HD. I went to iO channel 600 and added TWC to my quickviews and I noticed when watching TWC through quickviews I am getting a totally different feed that has the good ol' IS with Jackson's narrations.

It's nothing earth shattering but I thought I'd share it.

I have Cablevision out of Piscataway, NJ and what you would see is the IS2 feed on both the SD and HD channels (Cablevision no longer keeps the SD IS). Only difference is since we HD, we don't get to hear Allen Jackson's narration. Do you mind posting a picture or video of TWC through quickviews.

Alex Wilson and David Schwartz have got to be the best OCM pair in a long time. Their personalities mesh in well.

Last time I can picture a great pair together was Steele/Cantore, Goodloe/Lopez, Steele/Goodloe during EE weekday evenings in 2006

Relax folks...obviously the government cannot do anything, it's the free market but here is the interesting part: the state politicians wanted to force the closing casinos to stay open long enough until a buyer is found for the distressed properties.

2014 Is the worst year for Atlantic City as 4 out of the city's 12 casinos have closed their doors and more than 8,000 workers are on the streets. The Revel, which I myself have been a big fan of, is closing their doors after failing to secure a buyer at a bankruptcy auction. The megacasino was open for just two years, but never turned a profit.

It's so sad to see things spiraling downwards in my hometown. The effect on the local economy will be terrible...I'm glad I'm going to move out of here after graduation. AC will end up like a ghost town in a few years. Blame all those greedy politicians authorizing casinos. There are too many casinos in the East Coast, eating up their own revenues.

Obama should do something and stop allowing other states from building casinos. The effect is devastating and nobody is stopping the saturation from getting out of control.

Yes! It's from the movie "The Island" it plays at the end before the credits.

Quite frankly I'd rather hear beautiful music like that rather than the two repetitive songs

I don't see a need. With WN floundering along and the advent of smartphones and weather.com, is there even a need for two weather channels? TWC is having enough issues providing round the clock weather coverage while they have a monopoly in the Non-DirecTV markets
