I don't know about another "Star Wars" episode. I love the movie series as it is, but let's see how this pans out.

Are you talking about the same Rebecca Miller who once worked for KXAS NBC 5? (Now on KDAF CW 33)

WeatherSTAR Tech Support / TWC HD Feed/IS2 on SD channel.
« on: November 02, 2012, 10:33:20 AM »
Hi TWC STAR Team. This morning, while at a friend's house in Fort Worth, TX watching TV, I may have noticed that Charter has gone all digital. Have not seen any analog channel on the list. Plus, I see The Weather Channel's HD Feed and IS2 on regular channel 95, letterboxed on the standard channel. Not that I'm complaining, because I finally got to see the IS2 in action, but what happened to the current IntelliStar and SD feed?

TWC and your Cable Company / Re: Charter Communications Discussion
« on: November 02, 2012, 10:03:33 AM »
Has Charter made a full digital transition? I'm at a friend's apartment in Fort Worth, and while she does have digital cable, there are some basic channels that are not. Just today when I was watching Animal Planet, it was showing their "HD" logo variant. So outta curiosity, I tuned into The Weather Channel on Channel 95, I saw the HD feed. Not that I'm complaining, because I finally get to see the HD STAR in action.

General Discussion / G4TV Ends As We Know It

Thanks to 'jtmal0723' for posting this story via Facebook:

G4 Canceling X-Play, Attack of the Show. Gaming Programming Nixed
G4—the network once known as the go-to destination for video game-friendly programming—is ending its gaming programming. The network is informing its employees in meetings today.
We've heard that G4's major video-game and geek-culture shows, including X-Play and Attack of the Show will be cancelled today by the network. A source close to the situation says that it's not clear if the shows will last through the year or be cancelled immediately. The rumor is that the network will shift to something more like an "Esquire" or "GQ" channel. This aligns with reports that NBC Universal was looking to rebrand the channel as alifestyle network focused on "the modern male."
Full Story and Tweets from current and former Personnel of G4 on this link.
_______________________________________
Although I never watched either show on G4 (I mainly tune in for programs of my interest such as "Ninja Warrior", "Unbeatable Banzuke", and "Proving Ground"), I knew something was afoul with the network the moment they were given a new graphics package overhaul in late May. Not to mention another shift in the channel's programming schedule to this point. I wonder what will happen with "Ninja Warrior" as well as our US Counterpart "American Ninja Warrior".

General Discussion / Evacuation ordered at Texas A&M
« on: October 19, 2012, 01:05:17 PM »
As if things here in Texas haven't gone from BAD to WORSE...
_________________________________________________________
COLLEGE STATION (WFAA-TV) - A bomb threat has led to an evacuation at Texas A&M University in College Station.
The university issued a "Code Maroon" that asked students to evacuate "by foot immediately" at around 11:34 a.m. A witness at the scene said students were calmly and slowly evacuating the area.
The evacuation comes a day after Texas State University was evacuated after receiving a similar threat. Three buildings on the campus in San Marcos were evacuated around 9:40 a.m. and students were allowed to return in the early afternoon.
Over the last month, several other universities - including the University of Texas at Austin, North Dakota State and Louisiana State - were evacuated based on similar threats. In each case, the universities were later cleared without incident.

General Discussion / Big Tex Caught On Fire at State Fair of Texas
« on: October 19, 2012, 12:21:16 PM »
Fire leaves Big Tex a skeletal frame
DALLAS (WFAA-TV) - Flames swiftly engulfed Big Tex Friday morning, leaving only a skeletal frame with his hands still intact.
The State Fair of Texas was celebrating Big Tex's 60th birthday.
Mitchell Glieber, vice president of marketing for the State Fair, said it appears the fire was started by an electrical shortage.
"There's obviously some electronics inside of Big Tex that leads to the ability for his mouth to move when he speaks," Glieber said. "I believe there was an electrical short, but that hasn't been confirmed or investigated."
The fire department was on the scene and able to put the fire out within a matter of minutes. However, those at the scene said it only took around five minutes for the fire to quickly engulf the 52-foot figure.

General Discussion / Got Interviewed on WBAP News/Talk Radio!!
« on: October 15, 2012, 10:47:26 AM »
I meant to post this when I got home on Friday, but I've been busy.
Anyways, Early Friday morning I attended WFAA-TV's News 8 Daybreak Party on the Plaza at Victory Park for TX/OU fans. Not only was I one of many fans featured on the show (you could see me wearing a solid orange Longhorns shirt), but at the end of the broadcast, I was pulled aside for a short interview about the said TX/OU weekend by one of the personnel of WBAP News/Talk 820 AM & 96.7 FM! I was stammering at first as it was a spontaneous thing, but the rest of the interview went by smoothly.
It's too bad the Longhorns got slaughtered (no pun intended) by the Sooners 63-21 the following day. But I gotta say it was a great weekend!

General Discussion / Intruder removed from WFAA Dallas studio
« on: September 05, 2012, 03:24:51 PM »
I can think of a few possibilities: One...She's stalking one of the anchors. Two...She's a 1-person "Occupy Channel 8" group. Three...She craves attention. or Four...She's off her meds. Anyway you slice it, this story is bizarre. The staff of WFAA-TV loves it when their viewers visit their studios. This is NOT the best way to go about it.
