I'm so sad to hear this. He was one of my all time favorite TWC LF music artists with songs like "Carmel", "Rainbow Seeker", and "Love's Paradise". R.I.P. Joe Sample.

The Weather Channel 2050 Forecast

TWC in 2050: Like, what?! :rofl2: They probably haven't seen Back to the Future II, TWC was even spoofed in that film. :rofl2:

While I was watching some random vintage computer videos on YouTube, I've found a video that features "Cornucopia" from Network Music (July 1993 playlist). This video seems to come from some French-language shopping channel kind of like HSN/QVC that aired around 1996.

^this. All of this. If you can't or don't want to share info, don't be the little prick that says "I know stuff but can't say, neener neener neeeee-nerrrrrr."
Agreed. But, how did you still get access to their studios? :dunno: I'm not trying to be annoying or anything, but I was just curious.

Me with David Clarck (The President of TWC)
As well as the VP of design & the director of design
How the heck did they allow you to visit TWC HQ? Are you employed by them, partnered? If you don't mind me asking are you in High School, College, and do you live in the Atlanta area? Did they fly you over? Also I saw a forum where you were going to ask questions submitted by forum members? Out of curiosity did they tell you the future of programming, Lo8s and music? Just dying to know about that.
Keep your eyes pealed later this year!
What do you mean "Keep your eyes pealed later this year"? Do you mean for Lo8s and programming? If so you mean September or later?
That's what I can say. Can't elaborate at the moment.
Did you somehow have a pass? I thought TWC stopped doing studio tours years ago.

Alex Wilson and David Schwartz have got to be the best OCM pair in a long time. Their personalities mesh in well.

Last time I can picture a great pair together was Steele/Cantore, Goodloe/Lopez, Steele/Goodloe during EE weekday evenings in 2006
What about the Walker/Brown pairing back when they did the daytime WeatherCenter broadcasts? I always thought that pairing was another good one too. Some of the other best parings I could think of in the past, Schwartz/Andrews (from around 2006-07 or so that eventually led up to Bob Stokes' firing) and previously with Seese/Tesch back in the early years of Your Weather Today (now Morning Rush). I miss some of those past personalities and parings.

So it wasn't the video card...
The only thing that caught my eye was the map of the Kalos region from Pokémon behind your TV set in that picture :bleh:
What does that have to do with TWC? I have that same exact poster too. Either way, don't get me started with Pokémon.
Well geez I'm sorry that it has nothing to do with the weather channel at all, just something that i noticed  :noexpression:
Its alright. :thumbsup:

Sponsor logos are back
Finally, at least there's no more wasted space on the IS2.

I got this autograph in the mail yesterday too. I still think that's a cool picture of Jim Cantore. The signature is defiantly a copy, but at least I don't mind, I'm keeping this in my collection.

Remember back in April of this year when TWC gave out an "apology" for all of the DirecTV subscribers during the dispute earlier this year? Well, you won't believe what I got in the mail today... (56K modem warning)






It looks like that TWC was kind enough to give me this free autograph of Jim Cantore. That was nice of them! It turns out that the freebie they were giving away was an "apology" letter for all of the DirecTV subscribers that were effected during the four month dispute. Either way, I can't wait to frame this!  :dance:

This looks to be the best background instead of using 130 repetitive ones.
Is that from the IS or IS2Jr.?
Looks like he used the graphics from a recorded clip of my areas I2jr
I didn't know that was yours. I guess I wasn't paying attention to the radar map. :oops:

Anyone notice that the forecast boxes are TOO transparent on the IntelliStar? IIRC, the transparency was as dark as the box for the city name and time above the Forecast boxes.
Was the camera taken upside-down? I've never seen an IntelliStar error like that before!  :rofl:

Everything Else Classic TWC / 20th Anniversary special found
« on: July 06, 2014, 04:57:34 PM »
I don't know if this had been posted before, but I've finally found the full video footage of The Weather Channel's 20th Anniversary special on YouTube. I've been looking for this video for years and this originally came from YouTube user Local Forecast. I remembered watching this special back when it first aired in 2002. Anyways, enjoy. :happy:
