Interesting. With Jen and Eric moving to WV, I wonder who will be on FO?

« on: November 18, 2010, 08:24:50 PM »I guarantee if TWC said/showed something on air that offended you or your beliefs you'd be up in arms over it.Yep, sure would.So you would be alright with TWC offending people?When the first time I saw the green logo in 2008, I thought it was permanant.Wonder when TWC will use a Christmas logo? Wait, can't do that. It might offend someone.
Thanks for the vids!

TWC Fan Art / Re: Tyler's HD Concepts

There honestly is no "easy" way to make it. It's a bunch of different layers I put together and changed the blending mode on.

Sorry for the double post, but so much can be achieved in so little time.

Before getting too far along, I decided to change up the title bar.

Yup it's very common, especially among women. A few years ago, a longtime reporter for WPXI, Yolanda Hawkins, departed the station and didn't mention where she was going. Then, a few months later, I was out west, and was watching KCBS, and lone and behold, Yolanda Hawkins was there, with a different name, of Lonni Rivera. I emailed her out of curiosity, and she said the name change was prompted by a few people here in Pittsburgh looking her up and trying to find her (creeps), and see as how LA is a bigger area, there was a greater chance of that happening more often. It's for pure safety.
For those of you familiar with CNET, Natali Morris, formerly Natali del Conte hosts a daily tech show called Loaded. She just recently wrote about how having two names would be difficult in her opinion. http://natalidelconte.squarespace.com/blog/2010/11/14/the-journalist-formerly-known-as-del-conte.html

There are so many technical issues at the headends that some headends may never get the HD STAR.

I hope 1vs100 comes back to Xbox Live. That was a fun game.

Seems TWC didn't get the internal memo that this week is Green is Universal Week. All the other NBCU networks now have green logos - except TWC!

Seems like they're covering the midwest snow storm. So that would be my guess.

I know we had a topic like this at TWCC, so I'm going to continue it here. What do you use for your homepage?
I use Speed Dial, an extension for Chrome. It allows you to customize a homepage full of site logos.

« on: November 12, 2010, 02:33:17 PM »I find it funny that the USPS is sponsoring a TV show while they currently have a $238 million dollar budget shortfall. Fail.
Also, I caught a still of an actual sponsored ad in the left corner instead of just TWC's products.

OCMs & Personalities / Re: Re: Alexandra Steele Let Go
« on: November 12, 2010, 01:19:07 PM »This whole fiasco is happening throughout the news world (local/regional but with no lawsuits such as big as this if there is any confirmed) so i don't really seem that surprised they made a move like thisI hate to say it but you're right. When people tune into tv (myself included), they'd rather see a smoking, hot, young girl rather than a old, saggy, wrinkly woman (not that Alex was any of those things). It's just the facts. Younger personalities recruits younger viewers, which boosts ad sales. Quite sad, but true.
Anything to attract viewership (younger & attractive meteorologist) to younger anchors/reporters/sportscasters the game is $$$ thats what this day in age of media boils down to.
I think the bottom line is Alex was a great OCM. I wasn't a huge fan of her during her stunt on YWT, but once she returned from maternity leave and moved to the evening hours, she really grew on me. Her and Jim were the perfect pair, the always worked well together. I fail to see how TWC can justify breaking up a good pair of OCMs for a younger, less personable OCM like Egger.
