New HD LDL

[Tyler]

I think it's stupid. Once I have local info, I don't care what the weather for the next 6 hours in Dallas.

If anything, why didn't they engineer the HD Star to display local info in the LDA?

[Eric]

Actually, it won't. I have learned that the LDA will continue to show (during programming that uses the 33% LDL) even with the HD STAR's 33% LDL (so you will see the left strip of data, not the bottom 5 day forecasts).

I like that idea.  Now... we just have to wait for the HD Intellistar to come out... and for cable companies to actually start using it!

Those who are traveling would though.

Don't be hating on Dallas, Tyler.

So let me get this straight...HD will soon have a "big"local LDL that will be shown WITH an only national LDA?  And a "small" local LDL will be shown alone with no LDA?

TOO CONFUSING!!!

Day Planner now has the HD LDL

EDIT: SD also using small LDL so i guess DP is now a 16:9 show with no more LDA

It's just for severe weather coverage. They've done this every day that there's been severe weather.

Thats got to be about THE DUMBEST thing I have heard of. Does TWC give a crap anymore about the quality of their on air presentation with the ldls? Its bad enough the alert scrolls still go over and our very obvious with the 33% ldl. ~facepalm~

I couldn't have said that any better... TWC is really starting to annoy me now just for those reasons. Now I am happy to not even get the HD feed.

Well this is odd... Notify! ad on the Intellistar LDL, yet a WUWA ad on the HD feed.

[Tyler]

They're two completely different ad systems, so unless it's a paid sponsor ad, it's not really important that they match.

[WeatherWitness]

Yeah, the ads hardly ever match, and that really doesn't bother me.

I have a question about the LDL in general, though: is it "cued" by the STAR or some "control" at TWC? Because on some weather.com segments, you can see the LDL...I don't remember ever seeing the blue one on weather.com segments.

[Mike M]

That's because the national LDL is no longer cued by a STAR, but by the control room. As such, it's glued to the screen and will show on the weather.com segments.

**MODERATOR**

Can you please change the topic name to just New HD LDL (without the question mark)? Or at least something simular? I think we know that there is a new LDL, and that it's not a question anymore.

Thanks!

HD LDL on for special coverage today but weirdly on SD its the Big LDL
