Programming and Graphics / Re: New Graphics coming to TWC

A new broadcast day always starts at 4am for TWC, so I'm sure it's definitely around then. Back in 2010 when the last major update happened, the update was rolled out at around 3:45am ET.

Really? I don't have to do that.

If you already have a G+ account then you won't really notice any changes. If you don't, then Youtube will prompt you to make a G+ account.

Does TWC have two emergency feed sources to keep switching back and forth between TruVu and WPS like that?

the TWC logo is no longer blue it's more of a green tint.

I'm sure all of you have seen the green TWC logo that they use for Earth Day and such.  I wonder if this new logo is one step closer to a permanent green logo.  I prefer green, anyway, so it wouldn't bother me.

I doubt it (and hope not).  The greenish color they use for "Green is Universal Week" is way too bright, IMO - like a lime green.

There goes Andy complaining about the shade of green they use on air again.. that never gets old

The problem I have with them cutting live programming at the cost of longform is how they keep the OCM(s) there on standby regardless. It happens whenever they go to extended longform as well for the two major holidays that are coming up.

Honestly, since I don't watch TWC anymore I can't say I'm for or against the changes... but in recent times I can't believe how much they made me feel like an infant by dumbing down terminology. Either use the actual meteorological terms or don't talk about them at all

Does anyone know if "1st Nowell" by Ottmar Liebert was ever used on a Christmas playlist before?

This year has by far been lucky for me.. from graduating high school, to getting my driver's license, to getting my tablet, to getting promoted to moderator at another forum! This year couldn't have made me feel any happier!

Looks like someone in the TWC graphics department forgot to drink their coffee this morning    because as of today, a new sponsorship bug now has the blue box that is normally shown behind the Dish/DirecTV IntelliSTAR sponsorship bugs.

I saw that happen when I was on vacation in Virginia 2 years ago.. and there have also been times where the blue box doesn't show up for ads on the DirecTV STAR too

WTF is this...

Hurricane Central / Re: Tropical Storm Lorenzo

« on: October 22, 2013, 06:25:08 AM »

I think this is the first time Lorenzo, the name, has been used.  It replaced Luis.

The M storm is also new this year -> Melissa replacing Marilyn.

You're like behind on names a few terms 

Marilyn was replaced by Michelle in 2001, which in turn was replaced by Melissa in 2007. And Luis was replaced by Lorenzo in 2001.
