Thanks to Zach, I got the DirecTV LF templates and decided to create my own concept of an LF app in action...BETA tested with Helvetica fonts. Actual weather data as of 7:10PM CDT on the date this is posted.

“I think we’ve been doing an injustice to our viewers playing, for the lack of a better word, elevator music on the segments for all these years,” Geoffrey Darby, the cable network’s new executive vice president of programming, said Thursday.

Translation - he hates jazz and wants to play the music he likes. I don't blame you Jeffy, but don't kid youself by saying that you're doing this for "ratings."

The thing is Jeff is that TWC is NOT the next "Jack FM".

I do agree with everyone hating the BING.com commercials.

I swear that sounds like a website for mobsters. You know, "Bada-bing, Bada-bang, Bada-BOOM!"

What if NBC Universal further degrades The Weather Channel's TV lineup by adding unrelated TV shows? Not like that they're gonna go that far, but that's what happened to MTV, VH1, G4, and many other cable networks.

The first I've heard of it was on local ABC affiliate WFAA-TV on their 6:00 News this evening.

Such a sad week in the entertainment industry overall.
