Here's a video of our WeatherPlus remnants here in Tampa. Don't ask about the music, please.

They're using TWC music on Wx+?

Are you kidding? No, they're not. How would they get away with that? He obviously edited that in there.

Don't want to step on anyone's toes here, but does there have to be a white background? I think a logo with no background would look nicer.

jtmalnet (12:31:08 AM): whoa
jtmalnet (12:31:49 AM): nickelodeon just scrolled a message saying that Time Warner Cable and Brighthouse Networks cable customers were going to lose Nickelodeon and 18 other Viacom networks on January 1st....

They're gonna lose CBS channels, Nickelodeon, TV Land, MTV, VH1, etc.... this is interesting how cable channel carriage agreements are coming about...

Comcast isn't affected?!

It can only be a matter of time...

A lot of affiliates are slightly redoing the Lbar and keeping the channel on-air. Some are more redesigned than others, and some more hideous than others. See examples below:

One of the nicer designs, WKYC/Cleveland



WTMJ/Milwaukee



KGW/Portland (OR)



An uglier design, simply by rebranding the channel "NBC Plus." Seeing as how this is an NBC O&O, it wouldn't surprise me if all the other NBC O&O's follow suit.

The cable headend has to make the request, otherwise no changes will take place.

I've always been fascinated by police car designs (I like designing things, and I plan to become a police officer, so go figure), and I always found Pittsburgh's cruisers to be hideous. I think they can finally be welcomed to the 21st century! I really like their new outfitted Impalas. Go ahead, call me a loser.


2005 v. 2008



Sure beats the designs of Penn Hills' new squad cars.

It's interesting. None of you are taxpayers (yet) yet you start threads about the IRS. Go figure. 

The IRS is like any other government agency. If your on the straight and narrow, you won't be bothered.

Exactly. Do what you're supposed to, and you're fine. I pay taxes, and have since '07.

From what you've "heard?" How can you form an opinion unless you've actually dealt with them?

2008 has been great to me. Made lots of new friends, kept in touch with other friends, held the same, fairly well-paying job since January, got accepted all 4 universities that I applied to, and much more. Here's to a good 2009 (graduation year; start of college, etc).

but I don't really give a crap anyways because there are more important matters I need to take care of.

Now you're just lying out of your ass. If you didn't care, why bother bitching then?

I ain't gonna answer with your use of words.

Because I'm right?

Tyler,acting mean to Victor,very typical of him.   

Getting in someone else's business. Very typical of you.
