The song "Ohh Listen to the Music" just played on WUWA. Isn't that on a commercial?? 

That's called "Listen to the Music" by The Doobie Brothers.

Heard two repeats consisting of "Little Martha" by The Allman Brothers Band and some Love Unlimited Orchestra song. Also, a new Chris Geith song is playing (I think).

I believe that when NBC took ownership, TWC discontinued any agreements with non-NBC affiliates.

I can back that statement up by the fact that prior to the purchase, TWC showed shots of Downtown Tampa courtesy of WTVT, our Fox affiliate. Today, shots come from WFLA, our NBC affiliate.

If you're lucky enough, TWC and or Weatherscan (if you have it) could be ClearQAM channels.

Speaking of cable, I noticed in the past month or so that these thick cables that are orange and black in color are being placed underground along the outside of my subdivision. Are these fiber-optic cables?

Seen any Verizon trucks in the area recently? Could be Verizon wiring for FiOS.

Down here in FiOS preparation areas with orange conduit, there are signs placed into the ground at both ends of the streets of who's contracting the installation and will more than likely say Verizon somewhere on them.

The Richmond and Norfolk IntelliSTARs both have the same exact regional map so I can assure you that regional maps are to an extent that they are the same throughout pretty much the entire portion of that state (ex. Norther/Southern Florida and Eastern/Western Virginia).

Seems like TWC is waiting until July for a new playlist, especially because of everything else going on with the network.

What else is going on with the network? I think they are just going with bi monthly playlsits

Well the June list was supposed to start 2 weeks ago based on the patterns and they always start on a Tuesday or Thursday. It would make sense to start for them to start a list on July because of the various things going on in TWC like the HD STAR, WUWA, etc and also I suspect they didn't have enough new songs for the June list (likewise there would be a ton of repeats like this playlist) so they probably wanted to wait a little longer for more artists to send in their albums to fill in the gap.

I'm 50/50 with that. As Aaron mentioned, they were promoting that Harry Potter attraction on NBC networks, and Hedwig's Theme was on this playlist. I could have sworn, though, that the playlist with Olympic Spirit changed right after the Olympics were over.

You're welcome Ana.

I think I may need to stop watching TWC when I fall back asleep after taking my medicine. I put it on as a source for sound. What do I dream about? The icons on my DirecTV LF animating (slowly, though) and I woke up to Trammell.

In my case for tuner cards, it's the opposite. My laptops can handle HD video feeds, yet whenever I tune to an HD OTA station on my desktop, the computer becomes unstable haha. The video memory on my desktop is only 128 MB, so yeah.
