I noticed the narration is back and the Xfinity logo has been changed from red to all white. Also the TWC logo has returned.

Everything Else TWC / Re: Report: Sinclair Broadcast Group interested in aquiring TWC

If Sinclair buys TWC, I would expect a faster downward spiral. Sinclair never does anything good when they purchase properties. Most Sinclair news stations are last in their perspective markets.

Everything Else TWC / Re: Local Now - The Weather Channel's New Over-The-Top Network

« on: February 22, 2016, 06:19:43 PM »

I've watched the feed and j can say it's disappointing. The weather isn't local. If anything it's less local than LOT8s because the feed is for the nearest major city, not the nearest cable headend. Also the maps look unprofessional (bing maps, really?). All in all it is sloppy and seems rushed to me.

I notice no 7 day in that LF? Is that a typical flavor now?

I'm beside myself. I was just talking to Martin the other day. How very sad. I'm not as involved as I used to be, however I still check the forums on an almost daily basis. Whatever I can do to assist in this transition, please let me know.

Rumor has it Verizon is going to possibly return the WTC to channel lineup.  Verizon has had a lot of complaints about accuweather channel not being local enough -why they recently changed to more local regional coverage.  And because during storms they are not even close to what the TWC offers.  I have been a huge critic of TWC all these years but one thing I give them is their storm coverage.  If the TWC really is going back to live 24/7 weather then I want the WTC back but I will not change providers just to get one channel.

Where did you hear that? Verizon signed an exclusivity agreement with Accuweather. TWC isn't coming back any time soon to FiOS.

If they're focusing on WEATHER now, I don't know why everyone is so concerned about what's going to happen to LOT8s?

Is this an update or was that some type of error?

All IntelliStar SD's are gradually being replaced by one of the newer models.

So are you saying the current IS models can go into Weatherscan mode?

No I'm talking about TWC not Weathercan. All SD Istars on TWC are gradually being upgraded. Weatherscans fate is undetermined though I'd say it's future looks grim.

That is a great idea. Should have always been that way.
