Local Forecast / Re: LDL Ads (Suggestion)
« on: April 14, 2010, 07:29:42 PM »I miss the original 40-city loop TWC had on the national LDL. They added the cities that were on the LDA and they also took off Airport Delays, which I found quite useful although in the mornings it would show the major, major hubs with "No Delay" instead of just saying "No Reported Delays" in the entire cycle.Exactly my point. The LDL was meant to show info not seen on the local forecast and show as much info as possible in that short amount of time. I remember how the airport delays info was intermittently on my LDL on some mornings (back in the early daze), and then when it was permanently added
You can't blame everything on NBC btwI can when the graphics were obviously not developed by TWC (who would actually put thought and effort into it)... rather inside a week or so by NBC

Local Forecast / Re: LDL Ads (Suggestion)
« on: April 14, 2010, 07:10:03 PM »Almanac on a national ldl is just silly anyway. Most users don't care about that kind of stuff.Then why was it added in the first place? Been on the LDL and the LF since the Intellistar was debuted (technically, it has actually been on the LF since the early daze of TWC)... and it's all of a sudden removed just so people can see all kinds of forecast data that NBC thinks they're too lazy to wait a few minutes to see?

Local Forecast / Re: Should Memphis Get Traffic On The IntelliSTAR?
« on: April 14, 2010, 06:45:35 PM »
Apparently the agreement between TWC and Traffic Pulse (ultimately NavTeq) is that the traffic information needs to have been available for 3 months in a media market for it to be added on Intellistars in that specific media market. However, according to traffic.com, there is no data generated for Memphis.

Local Forecast / Re: LDL Ads (Suggestion)
« on: April 14, 2010, 06:25:14 PM »What a waste... the nat'l display LDL was supposed to display all kinds of info that I'll bet users liked... i.e. airport delay info, travel cities, almanac, etc. The previous LDL displayed all the CC and forecast data for the main 3 cities necessaryWhere do your eyes travel to when you are looking at the TV screen on TWC? MOST viewers are looking at their local forecast on the LDL and are going to view the ad more. I kid you not this plays a roll in how they do stuff. TWC is known for testing every little aspect of their network with study groups. Ads stuck in the local wx will get viewed more with more attention payed to it. Plus they spent money and time creating a brand new ldl with a special place for it. Doubt they want to say.... oops well that didn't work!Seriously? Of course they probably thought of this. However the method they use now makes it easier on TWCs end to push advertising. Plus TWC wants to show ads to people not on the IS too. Why send ads to the IS when they are already being shown on screen for legacy STAR viewers?Why not just move the ad back to the upper-right corner like how it was during the chromakey days? This would end the issues altogether, and you can still see the logos just as good.
Plus, they could just sit the ad on top (above) of the LDL. They send the LOT8's ad through to all the Intellistars, so what is wrong with doing that in this case during nat'l broadcasts?

Local Forecast / Re: New LDL
« on: April 14, 2010, 06:20:50 PM »No, the reason I brought it up was because that wasn't happening before this morning... and it only appears for the radar and sat/rad. The temp also disappears when those two tabs are up.For whatever reason, "Downtown Lansing", which is far too big for that "tab" on the bigger LDL, appears when the radar and sat/rad are displayed on the LDL. However, it displays simply "Lansing" for all other CC and forecast products.Guess they forgot to remove it. TWC axed all of the downtown, etc stuff.

Sheesh, it takes forever to publish 720p clips in any software, let alone 1080p clips. I just uploaded a 13 second 1080p clip, which took 5 minutes to publish and 30 to process on youtube. Now I'm publishing a 720p clip that will all in all take a half hour to publish and who knows how long to process on youtube.

It's a shame they pulled the almanac from the :58 longform flavor. I liked seeing that, and it looks like it was only replaced by two metro map forecasts.

Local Forecast / Re: LDL Ads (Suggestion)
« on: April 14, 2010, 03:45:30 PM »Ok, so I saw that the time was added to the IntelliStar LDL it's self. I think it's a great step up, but, I was wondering... would it be possible to make the LDL come up in full (So the National LDL section wont show), and just send the ad to the IntelliStar and it will show it on the IntelliStars LDL? Since personaly, I think it looks a bit funny with the two different backgroundsThat's what I've been saying all along! But I doubt it will happen.
