Local Forecast / Jazz Songs That Should Air on TWC's LOT8s
« on: May 10, 2011, 06:40:49 PM »
I've decided to start a topic on jazz songs that should air on The Weather Channel's Local on the 8s.
To start off, Joshua Redman (best known for "Courage (Asymmetric Aria)" among a few others formed a jazz group named James Farm, and their recently released self-titled album has some great tracks. Go to the link and listen.
http://www.jamesfarmmusic.com
My top tracks for TWC's playlists are "Coax", "Polliwog", "1981", and "Unravel".
_______________________________________________________________
If y'all have any favorite jazz instrumental tracks that should be on TWC's playlist if it wasn't already, go ahead and list them.

I've heard "Grazing in the Grass" by Hugh Masekela on the following stations in DFW:
- 98.7 KLUV (before they tweaked it from Oldies to Classic Hits)
- 100.3 HD-2 The Sound of The Strip
- Smooth Jazz 107.5 HD-2 The Oasis
These were before the song made it to TWC's current May playlist.

WeatherSTAR Tech Support / Warning Crawl Glitches on #22105
« on: April 15, 2011, 10:09:56 PM »
Hi STAR Team. I got a couple issues regarding the warning crawl on IS #22105. On Sunday Night/Monday Morning's severe weather outbreak in North Texas, when the scroll was showing Severe Thunderstorm and Tornado Warnings, the letter Y was missing. To give you a couple examples (the underscores are the blanks where the missing 'characters' were:
"THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HAS ISSUED A... TORNADO WARNING FOR...DALLAS COUNT_ IN NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS...KAUFMAN COUNT_ IN NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS UNTIL 245 AM..."
And yesterday when several Severe Thunderstorm Warnings were issued, the Y is back, but the number 1 was missing.
"THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HAS ISSUED A...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING FOR...COLLIN COUNTY...DALLAS COUNTY...DENTON COUNTY...FANNIN COUNTY...GRAYSON COUNTY...AND TARRANT COUNTY...UNTIL ___5 PM..." (skipping ahead to arrival times) "...THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WILL BE NEAR...SHERMAN, DENTON, AND SAGINAW AT _025 PM...PLANO AND GRAPEVINE AT _030 PM...IRVING, FARMERS BRANCH, PLANO, MCKINNEY, AND BONHAM AT _055 PM...GARLAND, DALLAS, AND UNIVERSITY PARK AT ___0 PM."
Is this glitch a national issue or is it with the STAR itself? Thanks for looking into this issue.

General Discussion / "Tonight (I'm Lovin' Me)" / Charlie Sheen Parody
« on: March 09, 2011, 10:53:58 PM »
Still following up on former "Two and a Half Men" actor Charlie Sheen's constant Train Wreck? Here's something you'll like. If you're tired of hearing about his meltdowns, well....I'm still gonna share it.
Earlier today while I was getting my daily walks in, I was listening to my radio and this hillarious parody comes up. I've tried desperately to keep my laughter in, but to no avail..gif "lgh (21)")
This "WINNING" parody is entitled "Tonight (I'm Lovin' Me)" [spoofing Enrique Iglesias's "Tonight (I'm Lovin' You)"] put together by Billy the Kidd (yes, that's his real DJ name) of KHKS 106.1 Kiss FM. (Listener Discretion is Advised)

I have Time Warner Cable and I wish Weatherscan is back on their lineup like before when my cluster was under Comcast's control.
Another channel I want them to add is Funimation (an anime channel).
