So if that schedule is accurate, Mark Mancuso may be one of the last anchors to use studio 1A.

Yeah, let's do that!
I'll (most likely) be available. If not, I'll set my VCR for it now.

« on: July 07, 2008, 11:30:58 AM »There's a community bulletin board type of channel on the cable lineup here and they play smooth jazz songs, like those on TWC.
Anyone interested in a video of this channel?
Edit: They actually have a live stream of the channel. http://yorkcity.org/section.php?name=wrct
Do they play unavailable BMI songs too?
I have no idea.

Everything Else TWC / Re: NBC Buys TWC!!!
« on: July 07, 2008, 12:22:51 AM »I found another article here disclosing about how nbc finds a "logical fit" with TWC
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2008/07/06/financial/f121938D96.DTL&feed=rss.business
After reading that article, this paragraph makes me feel a bit better:

NBC and Landmark said in a statement that The Weather Channel would be operated as a separate entity out of its base in Atlanta. They said they expected the transaction to close by year-end, pending regulatory approvals.

I actually said "Yeah, let's do that" today at work. I forget the exact context of the conversation, but it came out. I guess I've been watching too much EEWC.

Everything Else TWC / Re: NBC Buys TWC!!!
« on: July 06, 2008, 11:18:46 PM »Interesting you mention Leo Laporte Steve. I used to love watching his shows on techTV/ZDTV.Same here. ZDTV and then TechTV was one of my favorite channels, right behind TWC. The day Comcast bought them out and threw G4 branding everywhere the channel went right downhill. I certainly the same doesn't happen with TWC and NBC.

Everything Else TWC / Re: What's Next?
« on: July 06, 2008, 11:15:56 PM »
Nothing will (probably) happen to the Local On The 8s and the STAR system. That is TWC's most popular segment. That is literally the backbone of the channel.
