Not really Mike. It only happens in forums where the spammers know they can attack. They pick their targets. Very seldom are they random. And the problem is not necessarily the spammers, but the fact that their spam is left to decay the forum, because Bill and the team don't give a shit. Honestly, I expect to see the same start happening at TWCC.

Oh wait, it already is happening. The spammers go by the names of stephon_d_watson, Lightning, and lamarr. 

May I ask, what forum are you talking about?

I'd rather not say. 

Vic, please let me answer the questions asked of me if you don't know the answer.

It's more interactive with viewers, and I like that.  That is what a local station here is trying to do at 6:30, make it a little more interactive (with Twitter as well).  I like the new Abrams and Bettes WC.  I like the whole new weather center

That's why I prefer the November-February run of A&B/A&B EE the most. There was more weather content, and there was interactivity.

There was also more long form.

You really think so? It seems like three hours of fluff to me, just like the original Abrams & Bettes in 2006.

The Paul and Alexandra version is ok, though.

It's funny you say that. The original A&B always seemed rather fluffy to me. 

I think we all can agree though that the absence of long form is certainly a stroke of genius.

NOW you can really see it. I'd definitely say she's no less than 5 months.

Is NBC forcing all OCMs to get a Twitter, or is it entirely their choice?

I wouldn't think there's any force involved. I would think that it's entirely optional.

I happen to like the new Weather Center. Its very reminiscent of what WC used to be, which is a-ok with me.

Geoferry Darby was a hell of a good choice, in my opinion. 

Yeah, that feud is nothing new. Its been ongoing for several months. This shouldn't be the first you've seen of it either. 

What has he done well that you know of? I don't know anything about him.

  

Seriously, though, he was pretty much single handedly responsible for making Nickelodeon a smashing success in the 90's. Just about everything the network had was a brainchild of his. Aside from that, his range of experiences elsewhere, such as Oxygen (I'm guessing you've heard of the channel), Viacom, and CBS I think makes him a very good candidate.

Seems the morons at TWCC think this is a bad thing. No surprise though I guess when you consider that we're dealing with the finest morons the internet has to offer. 

When will they learn 

Never. They aren't capable of learning.

I wonder when TWC will air a weather-themed game show.

ROFL, sounds good to me!

Its official, Geoffery Darby has officially been named programming director at TWC. Here's the article:

http://www.bizjournals.com/atlanta/stories/2009/03/02/daily98.html

Something interesting I noticed in this article: Evidently, Deborah Wilson is no longer CEO of TWC. Apparently another woman is the interim CEO.
