My list goes as follows:

 - Any Current Disney artist (Miley Cirus, Jonas Bros.)
 - Eamon (best known for "F*** It [I Don't Want You Back]" and "I Love Them H*s [H*-Wop]"). Either he love them H*s or don't.
 - Aqua (The song "Barbie Girl" should've drowned)
 - The Venga Boys (No disrespect to Six Flags, but they could pick a better song than "We Like To Party" by that group)
 - Gillette (the chick with the famous insulting annoying song "Short Short Man".) Every man isn't made perfect, take them as they are.
 - Katy Perry ('nuff said)
 - Snow Patrol (the only ones that are "Chasing Cars" by laying down)
 - Lady GaGa (It's hard to keep a "Poker Face" when hearing her)
 - Britney Spears ('nuff said)
 - Paris Hilton ('nuff said)
 - Robyn
 - Marilyn Manson ('nuff said)
 - Milli Vanilli (they were successful until their lip-synching scam was exposed. Their excuse: "Blame It On The Rain".)
 - Republica ("Ready To Go" where?)

Which Weather bulletin page looks better?
The 2nd one in my opinion, but I do like your concept of a new IntelliStar upgrade. :thumbsup:

What if all cable headends that still have the WeatherStar 4000 & Jr. units are required to upgrade to an XL or an IntelliStar? This concept is inspired by the 2009 DTV transition.

On the 2nd piece of artwork, my idea for all the decomissioned WeatherStars including the 3000s, 4000s and Jr's is that they're reconfigured and sent back to all cable headends as an upgrade to the Emergency Alert System.

Local Forecast / November 2006 unidentified songs identified.
« on: July 19, 2009, 11:26:41 PM »
To those who are still scrambling to identify certain songs from the November 2006 playlist, I might help y'all along.

Thanks to "Localonthe8s", I've finally identified a few songs: "Tee Time", "Cadiz Sunset" and "Turn The Page"; performed by Kenny Carr.

To listen to samples of those songs, click on the following link: http://www.amazon.com/Turn-the-Page/dp/B0012OB3NQ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=dmusic&qid=1248060357&sr=8-3

Yeah, look in Zach's portfolio, he has a couple blank DirecTV slides. If you wanna use them, go ahead. Just be sure to give credit to Zach when you do.

With that being said: I made a few improvements, plus an addition to the DirecTV app concept (the CC LDL). I also created a 2nd version with TWC's web icons.
