It's not that I don't care, but we're powerless to the changes. The passage of time inevitably leads to change, and there's plenty of it going on at TWC and even in our own lives. I'll be happy if I turn on the network one day to see the TWC that was around in 2010, but I don't honestly expect that. I remember all the complaining even back then, but compare TWC in 2010 to TWC now and the rate of change is much greater today. It's disappointing, but I understand now that the more it changes, the less the likelihood is that TWC we want will magically return. That's why I don't like it but unfortunately have to accept it.

Same here. No telling how long even those will stick around.

I really appreciate all the input. I think an on-campus job is undoubtedly the best choice because people are more understanding of college schedules. I plan to seek a career counselor and ask him or her what some options would be. I do need to work this summer, but I get overwhelmed with school and work because I try really hard to keep my high GPA. I'm no genius who hardly has to study to get good grades.

Currently the instrumental and vocal version of "Death Cab for Cutie" is being used.

TWC is really on top of changing the songs out. Many are repeats from the summer, however.

Nice to hear from you Anistorm.

I'm curious to know what some of you guys think about working while in college. I'm taking difficult classes, but my parents/stepparents keep insisting that I find work, but I'm not sure I can emotionally handle work on top of a full load of college classes. I've had part-time work experience before, but I really had a hard time studying and all after I had to work in the past because I'd be exhausted. Been a controversial topic at home... I see myself being independent in  maybe two years once I graduate and all, but I'm not ready to support myself and be a successful full-time college student at the same time.

Nice! So the two-minute LF isn't completely erased forever then. Also, very jazzy-sounding song...I like it.

Is the song from Sublime still instrumental? I like it now.

Hopefully the intellistar beta is still on, march 15th is just around the corner.

Wasn't the IntelliStar update scrapped? That's not TWC's priority right now. LOT8s just get shorter all the time anyway. Enjoy them while they're still around.

LDL still running during the commercials even before Local on the 8s.

That'd be awesome. ESPN has that with their Bottom Line, and it's also a way to know for sure you have it on TWC. The increased ad time also makes this a better idea.

I dread the day when the "yet" happens. As short and vocal the Local Forecast currently is, it's still resemblant of the previous systems. I truly won't recognize TWC when they permanently pull the plug on the full-screen Local Forecast. I hope that's not the case anytime soon.

Maybe I'm just too old-fashioned, but a "full" local forecast for me is three minutes.

Now let's not get greedy. 

Two minutes would be good enough for me to watch it more often, and also respect TWC for a change instead of criticizing the network. I'll keep my fingers crossed that they do return.

Is traffic still displayed on the LF? I don't remember them stopping, but logically speaking, they can't fit traffic info that one-minute LF and display adequate weather information.

Just watched WUWA. So far no two-minute LF. (They were rumored to return today.) Instead, I'm seeing commercials/ads last about 4 minutes and 3 minutes of weather coverage..

Happy 18th, Zach! It seems like you were only 13 just yesterday when I registered on the site in 2008. Enjoy the benefits of turning 18.

I'd love the Taiganet rumor to be true. I don't even care about the music, I just want to get the detailed forecast I was able to depend on seeing on this channel. Ads before and after a 60 second LF infuriate me.
