TWC and your Cable Company / Re: Is cable TV going downhill?

« on: May 16, 2013, 12:08:59 PM »

Does anyone else have Altitude Communications? Their headquarters are based in Valdosta, GA. They are the most unreliable cable company out there.

Nope, ever heard of them  , but I say the samething about Comcast/Xfinity everyday.

I have WXSTAR XL I would prefer to have the IS but I doubt my cable company would pay to have it. So it looks like I'm stuck with the XL. 

I'll trade with you, I'm tired of having/looking at an IntelliStar.

Outside of the banner and the hurricane flag there's not that much of a difference from the past couple of years.

I don't know if TWC has gotten more careful about technical fails or what, but we rarely see this happen nowadays.

Just a side-note, if Casper really gets as warm as I'm predicting, they'll be warmer than we've been here so far this year. The weirdness of weather continues...

That Friday forecast is the best forecast I've had all week. I was only a degree off (high/low) for a perfect prediction. Too bad I got thrown under the bus on the other days though.

I'm completely diggin' the names to your shows. Hopefully they go with something similar. Evening Rush seems like a given too.

Yeah, I thought the same thing when I came up with the idea of a show being called Evening Rush. I also revised my schedule from last night.

Making a revision, looking at some of the models again, I've been getting burned on the precip chances. I think I'll take the risk and go dry for this forecast.

TWC Fan Art / Re: Weatherlover's Artwork

« on: May 09, 2013, 03:32:25 PM »

I've complained and ranted (maybe too much I'll admit) about how all of TWC's graphics carry no uniformity in all their shows so I decided to do it myself using Photoshop. It's not perfect, especially the masking I did on the images of the OCMs. I had a hard time finding more higher quality photos so these were the best I could find.

I designed this as more of an ad for TV/Web, but it can work as a show opener also if TWC's logo and the timeslot info isn't on the banner. I'll post an alternate version later on.
