Everything Else TWC / Re: The Weather Channel | HD Discussion

« on: August 05, 2008, 09:39:30 AM »

TWC actually did a fine job covering the Chicago tornado threat tonight; we had three tornado warnings going at once, and they were often on top of it more than the local stations, who kept being forced to stop their weather updates in lieu of network programming.

Can't those local tv stations get sued by the FCC for not providing continuous severe weather coverage? One of our Chief Meteorologists said that their station can get sued by the FCC if they didn't show the tornado warning banner at the bottom of the screen because it's for the hearing impaired.

I'm listening to TWC Smooth Jazz CD Clips on Youtube now, and I'm watching Boomerang from Cartoon Network on TV now.

I'm watching Boomerang too.

Meh, this playlist is okay, not as good as last months, though.

I don't care too much for this month's playlist either.
