Everything Else TWC / Re: Has TWC lost its way?

« on: June 09, 2010, 10:18:56 PM »

I no longer am a fan of the weather channel. Its just that simple. I am sick and tired of seeing long form programming on during the weekends, and now during the most important times of prime time. If people tune into the Weather channel, its not to watch long form, the average viewer wants to see the forecast..

No, to me, Heather does not look too close to the camera.  I definately like the green screen better

Wonder what's going on  

As I type this, the screen has frozen and just went black.  -->EDIT: Never mind, it's not just TWC, it's something on my end.

yeah, i enjoy the green screen much better.

i think its the large LDL, The reason perhaps she may be to close, is that we are use to them standing further away when at the video wall, but this is how close most of the OCM's stood during SD production.

Heather Tesch was on a green screen today at Noon CT. She also mentioned that "we are temporarily in a diffrent studio"   

What is going on? Is this just a replay of January 2008?

EDIT: Just got the "Warning - while you were typing a new reply has been posted. You may wish to review your post."

So it looks like Jake beat me to it 

Just happened to be on TWCToday.com while I was watching DP.

Great! More long form.. exactly what we need with The Weather Channel.

Before I was only slightly irritated, now about 90% of the time, The Weather Channel isn't The Weather Channel, its never about the weather anymore...

Honestly, I am fed up with it..

TWC and your Cable Company / Re: Dish Network to drop TWC from 214, carragie dispute

I think they're likely keeping TWC and The Weather Cast on DishTV at the same time as a competition. I guess they probably believe if TWC has competition, that they'll try to provide more Weather Coverage..or at least thats my guess.

Local Forecast / Re: Traffic Pulse: Like it or hate it?

Very useful for my area which is a traffic nightmare everyday

I can imagine, I've been stuck on several occasions while I drove through Newport News and Hampton Roads. Stop and go til I got close to our exit.

I live in Newport News, and traffic pulse is indeed a necessity for me as well as Martin in Norfolk.

I have yet to see anyone use the videowall today, perhaps the annoying blue bar is being fixed?

I'm liking the Traffic Map being gone for now because i get to see my Radar/Satellite Map more often.

Also has anyone seen this bulletin before?

New Bedford Intellistar: Emergency Management Alert

Yes, that LDL was shown in my area after Hurricane Isabel. Though I believe at the time, it beeped.

This show WILL NOT last long with viewer comments such as those. Plus the Nielsen Ratings will show that there are low viewer ship, therefore allowing them to cancel the program, which I'm thinking wil happen sometime early to mid 2010.
