Now that NBC Universeal now owns TWC, what do you think will happen? Will they merge with NBC Weather Plus?

I am sooo sick of hearing this!

thanks. SO on Monday they will show regular programming all night from 1 to 4am?

No. Long form programming is at 3 AM ET (like I previously said). From 1 to 3am ET is regular programming, 3AM ET is longform programming, and 4 AM ET (4:30 ET on weekends), regular programming returns.

Then why was I seeing Long Form at 2am ET recently?

Very interesting stuff! In that case, there's a really good chance in seeing legacy Stars, Derek!

Oh man, I sure hope so! I'll just have to tell my dad to avoid the hotels with dish network/directv dishes on their roofs!

Most of the hotels I stayed in have cable. But the thing is, they don't have a STAR hooked up, so they might just show a raw satellite feed instead

Last time I checked, they can't do that. Hmm, let me check on that actually because to get the raw feed, you need a IRD, and a STAR... the IRD gets its auth from the STAR ID and decodes the stream... Again, let me check.

I like it, but isn't there *possible* copyright infringement?

No, it's in a seprate country and has differences.

Anyone else notice that just recently, going to https://twctodayforums.com/forums takes you to a black home page, while going to https://twctodayforums.com/forums/index.php takes you to the forums?

I've always accessed the site by going to https://twctodayforums.com/forums but that isnt working anymore.

Just curious if anyone else is seeing this too?

Didn't TWN used to change the music for the LF every season or something like that? Or maybe 2-3 times a year?

A long long time ago..

They also had day playlists, like one song for the morning, one for the afternoon, one for overnight, etc.

This is odd

I've got a Tornado Warning in effect, but at the same time there's a Flash Flood Warning, so the scroll shows the Flash Flood Warning (which is never a problem here on LI) right after the Tornado. Shouldn't they only be showing the tornado warning in terms of priorities?

Warnings are warnings.

Yeah - we fixed it.

I'm still emailing back and forth with Chris, I'll post the exact details later on in the day.
