This brings up a second question, will WSI allow you to choose your own vendor? Like Allisonhouse.com for example ? Although you probably won't get the RPM model?

  Dang they're expensive! Now I can see why an average person doesn't own a system like this. Why do they have to be soooooooo expensive? I can only imagine what Baron Services Charges

General Discussion / TruVu Max Questions

« on: November 05, 2014, 08:42:38 PM »

I don't know if anybody on this forum has worked or has knowledge or TruVu Max but if so here's my question

My Main question is the data service. Is this really thousands per month or is that when you combine multiple vendors? What are the data prices generally, the cheapest it could go? This is my last shot before I contact WSI.

Thanks to anyone who can answer this question.

OK I understand everyone's frustration with the Lo8s music posts which were deleted recently.
I got permission from TWC to tell everyone what is happening. This is what was in my email. This is also what SamRichardson92 knows as well.

According to David Blumenthal
First, Production music is increasing to 5, possibly more
Second, changes were recently delayed from November to Early 2015.
Thirdly this is an attempt for sonic branding and the increase of Lo8s music to avoid constant looping.
Fourth as of this time no Pop music is planned for 2014-15.

I forgot to mention I sent an email to TWC asking if new music will be introduced last night, here's the reply I
got. Still a general statement but maybe they are doing some testing?

Thanks for your inquiry. We are currently working on possible music formats. We'll be rolling
out in the next month or so.

Does anyone know if the IS2 has a dual feed music feature? Either that or TWC is doing something because at 4:28 PM I heard "Take a Walk" by Passion Pit and 4:38 PM I heard a weird production song that kind of sounds like the TWC anthem but different? No it's not the one that was added in September, something different. I called a someone I know and they said they haven't heard anything new today, and they were watching at that time? So I'm confused a bit.  Can anyone shed some light on this?

As of 4:48 PM I've been hearing the same 3 production songs. Still at 5:28 PM
Also here's the song that I heard play at 4:28 PM. Tell me if you heard it as well.
LF music started at 0:25 on the video.

I have come across a couple of CBS Enforcer NG4 (2013) cuts. I have two opens without narration and the close. Some are in lower quality but still good due to my computers audio processor. I have the full close track but cuts out a second early. Still if anyone is interested just respond and I'll pm you

Just got confirmation that a relaunch is set for mid October. From George Lott SVP of Television.

So, around October 13th then? How big will this relaunch be?

Most likely refreshed lo8s graphics, possibly more songs, and a modified set of graphics but only time can tell.

Rumors are swirling that another TWC relaunch, including an overhaul of LOT8s is due to roll in a few weeks. Can someone confirm this?

Where did you hear this? Yes TWC is due to roll out new graphics but idk what's changing or when? All I know is within 3 months according to @freddyflaxman and a couple of other sources. Also I sent an email to TWC asking what's happening about LO8s and said legibility will be improved with new music being introduced. Later I asked if the vocals or jazz are coming back and said vocals is a possibility although they are increasing production songs according to the email I got. Still a canned message but if I were you I would enjoy the vocal-less forecast while it lasts just in case.

Really like this version of the TWC logo

That is a sign of things to come, but that's about all I can say.  I like it too.

It sounds like you can't give details which is fine, I don't want you in trouble.  However can you at least tell us how close we are to that logo?

Well, I can't give specifics but you won't have to wait TOO long.

I think those graphics look a lot better than they do now. @SamRichardson92 Hopefully I'm not asking too much but will the next relaunch (most likely November?) include more appealing graphics. Like, is there a chance that terrain on maps could return and graphics have a more shinier appeal to it, like in the WCL Logo background in the picture that @gt1racerlHDl put? Don't tell me what there going to do, just is there a considerable chance? Hopefully that's not too much.

New Weather Channel Local On The 8s music?

Huh? That's funny, I had a dream a few months ago that TWC played this music on the LF and the same cut?  I thought that would be impossible due to the track not being 60 second long but I guess I'm wrong?
