Programming and Graphics / Re: What Happened to Evening Edition?

« on: March 16, 2009, 10:00:32 PM »

I don't see how they composed music and graphics for four shows only for them to be discontinued less than a year later. Kind of a waste of time, IMO.

The creation of WC with A&B wasn't planned. It was something that was an idea conceived a la NBC just within the last few months.

Were there any other major changes?

The "black bar" was implemented.

As for IntelliStar ID numbers the same goes for here in Philadelphia.

That's pretty much how it is all over the country. When the installed the IntelliStars, they did it by cable provider, then by market. All the Comcast Pittsburgh ones start with 224xx.

Weatherscan Discussion / Re: Weatherscan Topic

As I've been told, Weatherscan's ratings are divided into two: the east coast headends get "fair" ratings, while the west coast ratings are very dismal, while the central states are kind of in between. As sad as it is, I only see two possible outcomes of this: NBC is ditching it, or they will add news content into it somehow. Whether that's a simplified version (through RSS or something), or actual news inserts is anyone's guess.

I could easily see them adding news, and I don't think it'd be that bad, honestly. The L-bar concept would work well...

I'm quite satisfied with my 2nd Gen nano. 

I'm quite satisfied with my non-Apple player.

I've stated it before, but any changes to Weatherscan are on hold until NBC makes a decision as to what they're going to do with it.

The iPod Shuffle is the stupidest piece of hardware ever.

Agreed. And the whole headphone-debacle is ridiculous. The player itself should have dedicated controls on it.

I tihnk its area-specific. When I had an HD DVR, it was only $12-13 a month.

Indeed, it is area-specific. Our regular DVR with Comcast was $18/mo.

Will Comcast lower their digital cable prices once they discontinue their expanded analog cable service?

Don't count on it...
