Local Forecast / Re: Christmas playlists and Regular playlists

« on: November 18, 2012, 06:19:39 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?

Actually, they mixed the Christmas songs in only in the beginning. When it got close to Christmas, it became 100% Christmas music.

Not in 1990. This video was on Christmas Eve.

This Thursday is not Thanksgiving and the day after is not Black Friday.

A thunderstorm with torrential rains, very high winds and close cloud-to-ground lightning strikes in Washington, DC. My guess is that there was a severe thunderstorm warning at the time this footage was taken.

I am not happy tonight after my team, the Alabama Crimson Tide, undefeated, lost their first game of the season to the Texas A&M Aggies.   That loss hurt!

TWC naming winter storms is strange and odd.

I don't see Jim Cantore going anywhere anytime soon unless he chooses to retire.

I think Jim wants to be out covering hurricanes, winter weather, and severe weather. I think he loves that sort of thing.

Another good song from that playlist was "Up To Stay" by Danny Heines. Here is my recording of it. Unfortunately, it's incomplete due to the fact that I taped over it with Andy Griffith.

TWC and your Cable Company / Re: Charter Communications Discussion

« on: October 29, 2012, 08:51:18 PM »

Talk about a fail, but my Charter headend has been airing their ads frequently at :08/:38 on TWC recently, right over the first half of the LFs. Either somebody's watch is 10 minutes fast or the headend is just desperate for money 

Plus, Charter has also been airing Comcast Spotlight ads 

That is awful that it won't let you see your local on the 8s.

What about the pictures of the tour of TWC's facilities? Could u keep that? I understand you can't keep everything on there just as it is and add this other stuff  to the site because the server would crash, would it not?

I can't say I am for this. I LOVE twc classics because I can think back at the TWC I knew in the 80s and 90s. Please don't change it!  Everything on the site now would be gone. I love the classic footage from the cards of the segments to the business travel forecast slides and city backdrops, local forecast videos featuring the 3000 and 4000 and I could go on and on. Please keep it!

It would still be a TWC nostalgia site. It would just focus more on the storm systems, rather than being random sets of clips and pics. Adding other types of footage would make it more interesting.

You mean you would just add content about weather events and storm systems, but everything I mentioned in my previous post in this thread would go nowhere? The clips and pics would still be on there?
