TWC and your Cable Company / Re: Hey guys, i have 2 cable providers.

Its because they're two different cable providers. Each Star costs money, and it's all about which particular cable company wants to fork out the funds for the latest technology. It's very common.

They made a new interview area which seems to be on the side of the HD studio.

That looks pretty neat! Thanks for sharing.

According to this post.. If I can interpret everything together, I am seeing where each show is 30 minutes long, 4 episodes each, starting at 9pm, would either cancel Weather Center Live at the 10pm slot, or move it to 11pm.

Please correct me if I'm not understanding that correctly.

It's only a matter of time before The Weather Channel becomes all long-form. Lets just enjoy the live broadcasts while they last.

Has TWC discontinued its Social segments, the one that shows the trending topics on the air? I haven't seen those in a while, but I wouldn't mind their termination.

Yeah, good question.. I haven't seen it in awhile. Perhaps they realized people don't care about what others are saying about the weather? hmm..

I'd put money down if they called it the NBC Weather Station.

I love it, I think it's great. and with the wide shot in the studio, it's not too cluttered; much more clearer than the previous video wall!.

According to a facebook post, Bill now owns and operates a yogurt shop in the Atlanta area. Glad to see he is doing well.

Yes, this has been discussed before.

Sorry, I'm not a frequent user. I post what I see. I missed that, and figured it wasn't discussed since this post was empty. My apologies for repeating.

I've noticed that when they do show the OCM in front of the duplex tv screens, which is to the left of the video wall, that area is blacked out and cannot be seen. I would say it's likely the video wall is going away.

TWC turns those off to conserve power. It's in the design of the HD Studio on their website. I'm not saying what you said is wrong, but It could just for saving energy. I hope they're not getting rid of the Video wall unless they plan to add something there that's better. 

That makes sense.

The HDTV is back behind the desk that was previously there before the switch to chroma key.
