General Discussion / You Tube changes

« on: November 27, 2012, 06:16:22 PM »

Has anyone noticed the changes on you tube? When I click on my username at the upper right corner of the screen it has my google e-mail address - which I never use, and only gives my the options of adding my account, signing out, or joining google+, it won't give me the options of going to my channel, or anything else I could do yesterday. I don't like it, one bit.

Local Forecast / Christmas playlists and Regular playlists

« on: November 17, 2012, 05:59:26 PM »

Those of us old enough to remember, back in the day, during the Christmas season, TWC would play both the Christmas music playlists and the regular music playlists. Why would they do both, instead of playing the Christmas playlist exclusively?

I wanted to ask about Knology. How big a cable company are they?

I just found this link on twitter, which was retweeted by severe studios. Look at this article: http://mobile.nytimes.com/2012/10/22/business/media/weather-channels-parent-company-is-renamed.xml

Local Forecast / 20th Anniversary of playlist

« on: October 15, 2012, 06:31:55 PM »

I know that 2 months ago in August is technically the 20-year anniversary of this local forecast music playlist, but this playlist time period was well underway at this time 20 years ago and would continue through the end of March 1993.

I had some favorites that were on that 8/92-3/93 playlist:

Weekend In Monaco - The Rippingtons

Jenny C - Peter Buffett

Indian Summer - The Rippingtons

Lovin You (More) - After Five Jazz

If you are old enough to remember, share some of your favorites from that particular playlist.

I sent Matt several copied DVDs several months ago and keep wondering when he'll put them on the twc classics site. I spent a lot of time doing that and he wanted them.

I hope this is a legitimate topic.

General Discussion / Playstation/Wii -Video Games

I just wondered. Does anyone on here have a video game from nintendo, such as a wii, an x box or a play station?

Local Forecast / Severe Weather Alerts

« on: July 31, 2012, 06:22:40 PM »

I'm not sure this qualifies as the Local Forecast on the 8s topic, but I have a question about the severe weather alerts with the red scrolling at the bottom of the screen with alerts from the National Weather Service. Why is it that when you are right in the middle of reading the alert all the sudden, there's a warning update with 4 loud beeps? It happens all the time, even when it is the same warning. Also, more than one time for the same warning, you'll hear Allen Jackson "A whatever (severe thunderstorm, flash flood, tornado, etc.) warning has been issued for your area"?

This seems to happen over and over  and over again during severe weather alerts.

Everything Else TWC / Drought 2012

« on: July 20, 2012, 07:19:26 PM »

Is it just me, or is TWC really over-hyping the drought in the midwest this year? I don't doubt that it's bad, but they comparing it to the Dust Bowl of the 1930s. The worst drought I remember in that part of the country was the one in 1988.

Everything Else TWC / Nicole Mitchell sues The Weather Channel

« on: June 04, 2012, 06:40:07 PM »

I just saw on my facebook that former OCM Nicole Mitchell is sueing TWC.

Nicole Mitchell Sues The Weather Channel for USERRA Discrimination

I hope it's all right that I put a link to a video about this on here.

General Discussion / You Tube subscribers...

« on: May 21, 2012, 06:22:43 PM »

This topic might not be very interesting, but the number of subscribers on my you tube channel have was once over 320 and has since dropped in 297. How could that be and does that happen to anyone else who has a you tube channel (with your own uploaded videos)?

General Discussion / Facebook's change to timeline

I just wanted to ask. Does anyone like or dislike facebook's updated timeline profile?

OCMs / Dave Schwartz' "Current Conditions"

« on: March 23, 2012, 06:49:33 PM »

I have some information that may be useful for the page on the twcclassics site under former OCMs and their "current conditions". Dave Schwartz, according to his facebook, is a salesman at Macy's at Lenox Square Mall in Atlanta. He has been since November 2009.

Just FYI, I am sure many are curious about him since everyone seems to like him. Of course, this is not in the field of meteorology, but I thought people would like to know what he is doing now. I am sure some of you might have already known this, but I thought this would be helpful info.

p.s. "Good to see you tonight, my friend."

Local Forecast / Lack of flavor variety

« on: March 21, 2012, 07:01:33 PM »

I have noticed that, at least with the IntelliStar flavors, nearly all of them are the same. The metro maps are used in almost every one of them. I wish there were more variety like when :28 and :58 were identical, as were :18 and :48 and :08 and :38.
