I wish vocals were backWoah, hold on there.
I know that the same 2 production songs are annoying but in my opinion this is 1000000000000000000000000++++++ to infinity percent better than that. If anything encourage them to bring back the old instrumentals. The vocals were torture.
Hey Guys,I would love to have your music back on the forecast. As for cc17926, your right TWC has been having that attidude toward their programming. But it would be a good idea to give it a try imin! Let's see what happens. If TWC doesn't take the offer well as cc17926 said you can always try network weather. They said there talking with jazz artists on their facebook page! Well it was in the comments on one of there posts.
You have probably noticed that the local is currently using only two pieces of canned, branded music from some catalog. Not good.
There's a guy named Jeremy Jones at the Weather Channel in Atlanta who has been put in charge of content. I sent him an email and left a VM regarding the music situation.
I'd welcome your support. I'd like to be assigned as their in-house music coordinator (which includes music discovery, acquiring overall licensing deals for labels, artists, publishers and artist representation) or at the very least compose new music for them. The goal is to develop and curate their Weather Channel -sound and brand- for all productions (regular programming: pilots, series, specials and promotions, etc. , the whole enchilada).
My degree in Film Scoring from Berklee College of Music, the variety of music that I've scored for several films including 'Assassination Tango', combined with all of the music that I've written for them in the past ~ should be enough of a background to easily qualify to write ANY style of music that they need, not just 'Smooth Jazz'!
I want to encourage them not to take the easy way out and just use a third party music service but, instead have a steady flow of original music written specifically for their audience.
Anybody with me?

I guess that was an error. But that format is better. You got the 24 hour forecast and the hourly forecast.It seems the local radar bug is fixed for my star unit.I checked this morning and am still getting the local radar, with no precip.
That was a interesting LF.. started out with the prod music for a few seconds, and then went to a different song for a few seconds and then changed again..That happened to me on the 12th. It was silent then it went to some song which I swear had a jazz guitar sound then it went to something acoustic. Weird.
New storm alert music huh? I wasn't expecting that. When did this start? I heard it for the first time a few minutes ago. I don't remember hearing this earlier this morning.It started exactly at 3:08 PM Eastern Time. Had TWC on all afternoon. To me TWC is watchable for once.
They just announced all day coverage a few minutes ago.red mode looks great, except for the blue background on the L bar.. I thought in the previews it was supposed to turn black/gray. would look a lot better. maybe It'll change during the day once they get into breaking weather mode.In the preview videos, didn't the L Bar and the LDL look transparent? I haven't seen that since the relaunch during live programing, so maybe that wasn't the best look.
Would someone report if the 11AM ET/10 AM CT WCL turns out to be an extended edition? Thanks.
Well I think if they were going to keep vocals wouldn't of they already have a new playlist or keep the old one? I think the tempory production music is coming from the same computer as the vocals did a couple of weeks ago? Also they said LOT8s will sound different. Vocals is not different that's the old format. So if not smooth jazz then I think production music or a different form of instrumental music yet not heard on TWC.Spoke to Melissa, the production music is temporary as Martin mentioned before. A new playlist will start soon but all she said was "LOT8s will sound different".Well smooth jazz coming back is like saying three minute LFs are coming back. So if it's not vocals, then it sounds like they're sticking with production music. Oh well just as long as they're not gonna play the same two songs all the time.

Also no audio on the LO8 at 1:47PM CT and went to the Emer. feed at 2:20PM CTDid you happen to hear the audio on the EF. cause I was on the SD intellistar feed. The background music toward the end sounded a little jazzy.
