To my knowledge, it's only going to be used during On the Edge with Peter Lik. There will no regular LDL, or the squeezeback  during On the Edge. The LDL will show at :07 or :08 for a minute and a half.

I just saw a "From The Edge" promo on Discovery Channel. 

Not surprising. Ever since NBC took over, the number of cross-network promos for TWC has increased.

TWC Today News / Re: Testing out a few things

« on: March 28, 2011, 01:10:00 AM »

For those of you who missed it, I'm toying with adding a Content Management System. Basically that means, important articles would show up on the front page of the forum.  I have a lot of tweaking to do though. So stay tuned.

I've thought about the CMS-style integration of one of the forums to the homepage once upon a time, but every attempt had broken the site templates. I'm on the border with anything CMS-style, but have fun.

I'm going to work a few things out, and give it a try again. If you have any suggestions with regards to CMS , feel free to let me know.

TWC Today News / Testing out a few things

« on: March 28, 2011, 12:29:12 AM »

Over the next hour or so, I will be testing out a few things that will modify the look of the forum, and might not play well with the custom Weather Center theme. Please don't be alarmed, things will go back to normal soon. Thanks for your patience!

This is more like a 3D weather presentation. And certainly more impressive than TWC.

Well that's a disappointment. I hope they don't do that on a regular basis. That's not what 3D sets were intended for IMO. They might as well be in front of the video wall (it would probably look better!).

Does anyone have a clip of the 3D studio?

Ive seen many 3D studio attempts and all look cheesy. I imagine this does too. Its just a two sided green screen anyway

Same here. The only one I've seen pulled off well is NBC's 3D election set. That was kind of cool.

On the bright side, we won't be seeing those stupid T-Mobile commercials that rip off those stupid Mac commercials anymore.

But now there will be stupid commericlas with AT&T promoting themselves as America's largest wireless carrier.

Due to the proximity of the US West Coast to the Ring of Fire, a major, devastating earthquake is bound to happen eventually. Probably sooner than we think. Those who live on the west coast should always be prepared for such an event, just like people in the midwest prepare for tornadoes and people in the south prepare for hurricanes. It's going to happen, it's just a matter of when. And based on that expert's statements, maybe it could happen soon. But who really knows?

IntelliStar 2 Discussion / Re: IntelliStar 2 Beta Launch

« on: March 16, 2011, 11:30:10 AM »

The outdoor activity is discontinued from regular usage on the IntelliStar now, so I won't expect it on the IS2 either.

The air quality only shows on the LDL on the IntelliStar 2, not on the LOT8s.

Air Quality is not shown on the 16% LDL. It only showed on the 33% LDL, which as we know has been discontinued.

Does anyone else find this news promo by our local NBC affiliate to be pretty creepy? I sure think it is. Btw, that is the same voice over guy that does several TWC promos. In comparison, here is a normal WPXI promo video with their normal voice over guy:

Saw the rare thundersnow icon this morning during the LF. Unfortunately, by the time the next LF came around, the location was no longer reporting thundersnow.
