TWC and your Cable Company / Re: VZ FiOS dropped TWC

« on: March 10, 2015, 10:29:15 AM »

Well it's all The Weather Channel's fault! Increased Long Form and charge higher retransmission fees just to keep up with bills (barely). As I said the DTV dispute, "they have nothing to blame but themselves". It's really sad to see, the channel was once everything that I could ever want but you know "it's not a revolution, it's evolution". Wise (not) words from TWC management 2012.

This is just unbelievable!!  See this is the reason why live hours have been cut and limited storm coverage. I suspect TWC is in so much debt because of the 2012 long form increase and can't afford these talented OCM's! It's only a matter of time before TWC crumbles and it's approaching faster than ever anticipated!

  TWC!  This has just made me very Mad!

They just went to break and this was stuck on the screen till commercials started to play.
More storm coverage as I guess they can't get the long form programming to play.

That was when they aired the Local on the 8s. I guess for Star units only?

Looks like TWC's playout computer is experiencing some issues. Sounds like someone doesn't want Highway thru Hell airing

Danielle is back! She's doing winter storm coverage for the overnight hours right now with Ray Stagich.

Awesome! When Danielle came on I was like... "wait, I thought she left"? Hopefully she's permanently back. Maybe the job she went for didn't work out?

My IS2 cities were updated.

Originally - East Windsor, East Brunswick, Trenton, Hopewell
Updated - East Windsor, Princeton, Trenton, South Brunswick

Maybe TWC is updating this or Xfinity East Windsor is using a different TWC Feed?

My IS2 is frozen. Audio is jumbled and picture is frozen, however weather info is still running fine and still receiving commands to change. I just complained to TWC Tech support. Any one else seeing this? I noticed it around 5:30 PM EST.

Does anyone know when the Weather bulletins graphic returned? I know it was like this originally, but thenit was changed to be text only.

As far as I know, it's been like that since this weekend. Everything else before was text.

TWC is preempting all long form for the storm's duration.

TWC updated their Storm Alert Graphics for the National LF compared to last year with no storm alert graphics.

We all know TWC shows a lot of long form but even by 2013 standards this is a little unusual. This storm is to bring snow that will need to be shoveled and TWC would usually preempt. I've noticed this "not show weather even though we're getting 18+ inches" thing in the last couple of months. Surprisingly around the time TWC last laid off employees. This is probably the reason as well as the cut back in live programming.

Although this is speculation, it looks like the is2 received TruVu Max radars because the color tables match the on air Max color table plus the radar animates very quick and smoothly like TruVu Max. Unlike before the color table was different and animated slowly frame by frame.
