OVERLOAD!

At least it will go away. TWC should think about starting a TWC2...NBCU has the capacity and capability to do that.

...but not the money...

Yeah, besides, NBC already layed off so many jobs over at TWC due to the down ecomony. Prior to this resession, NBC already shut down their radio network (a.k.a. the NBC Red Network) back in 2003.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBC_Red_Network
This was even before when they bought out Universal and of course TWC. ABC and CBS meanwhile still have their radio networks alive today, even Fox! I hope TWC doesn't shut down their radio network. Besides, why would NBCU want a second Weather Channel? I think it would be a waste of money.
 
Speaking of which, will anyone be watching Storm Stories this month?

Everything Else TWC / Do you think TWC would be better for broadcast?

The title says it all. What do you think? These darn cable companys just want to take your money (expecialy in a middle of a resession). What NBC could of done at least is to move TWC to broadcast as a digital sub-channel for any of the NBC affiliates (just like what they did with Weather Plus), so that way, you can watch it all for free.

Contributions / Re: WeatherStar 4000 videos

« on: February 02, 2009, 11:59:09 PM »

Those full screen scrolls are the original way the 4000 (and III and Jr) showed all advisories, watches, and warnings. Then at some point in the early 1990s (1991, or 1992, I believe), they introduced the red strip crawl at the bottom of the screen, which was only used for warnings. Watch and advisory bulletins still continued to make use of the full-screen scroll.

I don't think TWC started using the red strip until 1993. I once saw an old TWC promo from 1993 that first mentions about the red strip. Recently, I couldn't find were that video went.
