What do they mean by 'fresh sounds'? New lf music?

Probably new weather sounds.

Remember how the LF had the rain and thunder sounds during the 36/48 hr forecast? I wonder if they'll start that up again...

I have a very bad feeling that a new logo will be introduced as well. Perhaps something similar to the current TWC mobile logo. I hope I'm wrong, though...

It wouldn't be that bad if the logo wasn't completely different, especially if it was just a minor color or text change

You'd be surprised to find what the weather channel has planned to do over the next few weeks/months/years if you read the feedback and suggestions. I was reading suggestions for the programming and someone asked if the weather channel would make a new SD intellistar. One of the directors of programming wrote:

"Thanks for your suggestion Javier, we are working on improvments to the SD Local on the 8’s. Please look for fresh graphics and sounds later this year and a completely new experience in 2013."

Don't know if this means they will have new graphics for the intellistar or for the entire channel (or both), but either way, I don't know if I should be excited or not (considering their graphics haven't been the best lately...). Also, I wanted to mention that this was under the "planned" suggestions, so this isn't just any old idea being considered.

It's going to be interesting to see her new move that just so happens to be on a day where we could see a major severe weather outbreak. plus, they're extending coverage all day, so she'll be working very hard too.

I just tuned in and Weather Center at 7 ET just used it for the top 5 videos.

In the middle of the morning we had a torrential downpour with a severe thunderstorm, but that soon passed and the skies were nice and sunny.  After another few hours, all H broke out.

What I find even more amazing is that this was predicted so accurately in advance, so people could prepare for it.  If I recall correctly, Massachusetts was even given a TOR:CON index of 10.

That's exactly what happened in my area!! But I don't recall a TOR:CON of 10 because it's only been issued twice (4/27/11 and 3/2/12). But at the time I was just getting back into watching TWC...

Anyway, getting back on topic, YWT is using the video wall a lot. Looks like it didn't take that long to get out the bugs that Kelly mentioned.

I don't know if anyone has noticed, but once in a while on Weekend View they show a glimpse of the video wall and it makes the same effect as the background on the opener. Can't wait to see it in action!

Everything Else TWC / Re: General TWC Discussion

« on: April 01, 2012, 09:25:42 AM »

I kind of liked PME, but what's the point of having a live weather show an hour long that airs twice a week?

That's the same thing I thought when it was reduced to an hour last year.

Anyway,

Thanks!

Also, is it just me or does it feel like Weather Center is beginning to take over a lot of the live programming slots? I know they wouldn't make it the only show (or at least probably not the only show), but it seems like they're making too much room for long form.
