Everything Else TWC / Re: TWC Radio Affiliates

To those who have XM Satellite Radio, it's on Ch. 125. It was on Sirius Satellite Radio, but for some reason it's discontinued.

Local Forecast / Just heard Mark Krurnowski on ABC's Early Morning News Show

« on: May 20, 2008, 08:27:56 AM »

At around 4:39 and 4:57AM, Mark Krurnowski's "Wait A Minute" was played on ABC's "America This Morning" weather segments. This wasn't the first Mark Krurnowski song on there. Since early 2004 before Mark appeared on TWC, other songs that were on ABC included:

 - Climbing Green Hills
 - East Coast Cruise
 - Desert Road
 - Taking Flight

If my family computer had a TV tuner card, I would've shown it to y'all.

I've noticed that ABC has a poor picture quality on its channel. NBC, FOX and CBS have crisp picture quality but never ABC

That's funny, it's quite an opposite during the mornings here.

FOX here is usually fuzzy; followed by NBC.

General Discussion / Cable Channel Sharing

« on: May 19, 2008, 04:17:09 PM »

Does 2 or more cable networks share a same channel in your area?

Here's the timeline for my vicinity.

1992-1999:

24 Prevue Channel [now TV Guide]/Sneak Prevue (5AM-11PM)
24 Playboy TV (11PM-5AM)
72* C-SPAN2 (Weekdays)
72* Bravo (Weeknights and Weekends)

1999-2002:

72* C-SPAN2 (Weekdays)
72* Bravo (Weeknights and Weekends)

After 2002, it was no longer the case.

* = Channel 96 for Cable-ready TVs

TWC Fan Art / Michael's TWC Fan Art Portfolio

« on: May 11, 2008, 12:47:34 AM »

This is where I put most of the TWC Fan Art/emulations from now on...except for weather icons (see my seperate topic).
___________________________________________________________________________

Anyways, here's my attempt at the "Travel Troubles" segment, utilizing one of the Weather Underground photos, Billy's LDL Warning Bar and Tyler's modified "Strong T-Storm" Icon.



Let me know what you think.

TWC Fan Art / An Earth Day Blackbar?

« on: May 08, 2008, 10:53:47 AM »

I know it's a little late, but what if TWC changed the color of their logo on the Black Bar to Green for Earth Day?

That idea just popped in my head this morning. Using the green TWC logo that was on the main weather.com for Earth Day and the Blackbar with no logo (thanks to Billy (beanboy89)), I just went ahead and got to work. It only took me a few minutes to create this on Photoshop.
