BTW, did yall hear about Jim Cantore's home damaged by last night's storms?

No, it must have been the same storm that had the tornado warning on it last night that went right past TWC studios.

General Discussion / Re: ABC to cancel daytime soap operas

« on: April 15, 2011, 08:36:30 PM »

I'm curious what the new shows are about. Judging from the titles they sound pretty stupid. I'm thinking "The Chew" is one of those let's eat 50 pounds of food type shows? And I'm guessing that "The Revolution" is a liberal talk show. Which begs the question, why do they need that when they've got "The View."

I had the same thoughts about these shows too.

Eventually soaps in general will be extinct. There's no solid core audience for it anymore because women are working during the day. If you do some research and look at ratings for soaps from 10 to 15 years ago compared to now, they have been losing about a quarter million viewers a year. but I am SO sick of reality TV shows, my head is going to explode.

I know this is by David Becker Tribune, but I can't remember the song name. I got the audio clip from here, but just like the song name, I can't remember what year it played either.

My Concept on How the IntelliStar Should Look Graphically Now

It's about time the IntelliStar is updated with some of the on air graphics that are being used now don't ya think?

It's not finished, but this is what I have so far and this is how a K Flavor would be set up. (Air Quality Screen will be inlcuded)

We might get that warm today, it would be a degree shy of a record high of 89°, we tied a record high of 86 yesterday.

According to her Facebook Thursday

I am enjoying some Spring Break days off with my family. I will be back next week. Stay safe and I will see you then

.

Oh, that's good. I get suspicious now when OCMs disappear for an extended period of time.

I know this is an old topic, but since what I'm going to ask is about Heather Tesch anyway, I didn't see a reason to start another one. Maybe it's me, but hasn't Heather been M.I.A for a while now?

Everything Else TWC / Re: TWC's new Rival?

« on: April 06, 2011, 06:12:49 PM »

I don't think WeatherNation would need Comcast to be successful if they can pull in enough subscribers from other cable networks and satellite networks, but they probably wouldn't be able to reach as many people as a con to that. I'm kinda hoping they can be successful if they're serious about sticking to their agenda of all weather, TWC needs competition so there's more choice and variety. It's sad to think now the only thing that hasn't been completely tarnished about TWC is the whole LOT8s concept, makes me wish I still had Weatherscan at least they left it the way it was because they could care less about it.
