Hi everyone.. I really apologize for not being on last night at all cuz I went to bed at 7:30 and woke up at 5 AM and still tired

My first day was awesome socially and terrible procedure-wise. Lightning struck the school and caused power to blink and the fire alarms were in chance of going off as they reconnected the system, the lightning struck the electricity at the portables. Ironically I was almost struck by lightning three years ago from yesterday but was in an outside environment

Wunderground's radars are better than the NWS's!

Aesthetically, yes. In terms of the actual radar, they're the same.

Well yeah, true.

Wunderground has an amazing archive though. You can literally go back years and pick any day or time and see the radar imagery for your area. Very cool

Very nice indeed however some imagery comes up null

Landmartk didnt have a choice to TWC themselves or not. The founder of TWC was ill only to find out he passed under a year later and they didnt have the money

The OCMs are placed in slots where NBC sees the most popularity and priority. It seemed moving A&B to mornings after Marshall Seese retiring made YWT popular again (opinion)

For the news stuff, graphics, rock music, etc, thats NBCs way of bringing in money and Im sure TWC likes that just for $$$

Overall they really havent jumped the shark. The info-displayed L3rd was introduced prior to NBCs purchase and they have told news-related stories in the past. When i see the stories, I still see some weather applied into them although a bear attack and arrest seems a little too much

As for OCM layoffs, they happen. The OCMs that get layed off are likely ones coming close to renewal (except for Bill Keneely since he haad higher seniority and has been there forever) and they dont have the money to handle paying them. Yes they could keep their jobs but they would have to have lower pay which they dont want

Wasn't part of the reason why Landmark gave up TWC to NBC was due to the Hillary Andrews/Bob Stokes lawsuit?

No

I could give it a shot, if someone posts the list would you like it similar to the music page section's format?

I'm not sure what you mean. If you mean creating a HTML file to look like my playlists, thanks, but a text list will be enough.

He means like this
