My favorite song that David Benoit did is "Sailing Through The City" on his CD, "Urban Daydreams". Played on TWC in 1989 and 1990.It also played in 2002 as well.
Dats odd, because Wunderground updated the ob at KDAL by the time you posted to light rain!Reported at Downtown Dallas...holy cow!!!Andy, out of curiosity, where are you getting that observation from?
83°F Blowing dust squalls/windy
Winds: NE 31 mph gusting to 52 mph
This is a result of an outflow boundary ahead of the thunderstorms moving southwest through the Metroplex.I can't find it at any of the Dallas area airports. area airports.
That observation came out of Dallas Love Field, which is practically next to Downtown Dallas (so the observations are usually the same). This was according to the hourly ASOS station update by the NWS. Check their website HERE, and you may still be able to see the observation. They update at :53 past the hour. If you can't see it, check the 3-day history.

Guys, I think we go through this too much. There have always been just some days when not a lot of people are online, or when there is simply not much to say. It's usually never permanent.Really?! I have never seen it this quiet ever in my whole time of being a TWC Today member!
Are you getting all these videos of classic TWC from random people? I'm kind of surprised that some of these videos even exist considering the years here. Things were so different back then on television when I was born.The video in this particular case was posted by former TWC OCM Andre Bernier.
Central Florida is going through a bit of a blackout of its own. The cable company has stopped showing the local NBC affiliate, its sister station (a CW affiliate), and their two subchannels: MeTV (which I'm really missing) and This TV.Your NBC affiliate is owned by Hearst, as is your CW affiliate. Whenever channels like this go at dispute with television providers, it's usually through the channel's owner and not just the channel itself. In this case, any Hearst station in a Time Warner (or Bright House market at that) wouldn't be seeing that station due to the dispute.
The local NBC affiliate has been replaced by an NBC affiliate from northeastern Pennsylvania (roughly 1,000 miles away, but Time Warner's "go-to" blackout replacement for NBC, apparently). CW has been replaced by the TV Guide Channel (usually unavailable on standard cable). MeTV has been converted into a limited NBC On Demand channel to repeat some primetime programming. This TV has just been taken off the lineup altogether.
According to statements by both the NBC affiliate and Bright House Networks, the retransmission negotiations had been going very badly for months, the deadline was extended, and then negotiations just broke down altogether. On the other hand, Bright House's subscribers are already very unhappy about local news being replaced with that of the Poconos (despite still receiving the full NBC output), and the total loss of CW, MeTV, and This TV. In addition, the real sticking point is that, by its own admission, the local NBC affiliate has lost fully 50% of its audience, which is really going to start eating into the advertising budget.
