New Schedule

[Charismatic Applesauce]

Appeared at 7:55pm EDT

Is that the national HD LDL?

I like this schedule, especially weekdays. Although a six hour Day Planner is a little too much... not to mention its bright yellow and blue graphics are too bright for the latter half. With no more midday programming, this would be a great idea to move Weather Center back to middays. PME can then air from 7-10pm, then another show title for Paul and Nicole from 10pm-4am.

It's also nice now to only have as much as two straight hours of long-form programming at a time now. It hasn't been like this since the beginning of last year.

You know what this schedule also means? More exposure to the smooth jazz daytime playlist! Live programming airs during the entire daytime part on weekdays, and we also have another hour of live programming on weekends.

Exactly, because during longform, you only hear 1 min LFs. Plus it makes sense, because the daytime playlist is the best playlist, because it has smooth jazz.

yes

that's absurd...that's the final straw for me. PM Edition was always my favorite show. I rarely even watch TWC anymore, but now I have even more of an excuse not to.

edit: this had to have been a last minute decision, I remember someone posted the Q3 & Q4 programming, and nothing was suppose to change.

At least Vivan and Nick will still be on the 2nd Day Planner.

You have a point Al   I wonder what happened to make DP go longer?   Does anyone think DP 2 will be blue?

Does anyone know if the LDA and 33% LDL is ever coming back???  It never returned after Earl

Why do you want it to come back? IMO it seems better this way without it

I personally like the LDA and 33% LDL - a lot more information can get conveyed that way.  And, since the regular programming on TWC has decided that weather is allowed to take a backseat at times, it seems like the LDA and larger LDL are the best way sometimes for getting real weather information.

I disagree, the LDA/LDL had to be the worst idea ever created for the HD channel

The Info would be better suited on a 33% LDL but it seems TWC hasn't budged on creating one.

I agree alex.. And plus the 16% LDL is the size of the original IS LDL and the LDA just puts 16:9 programming in 4:3..

Don't worry... just like Margaret Thatcher, I'm used to being in a minority of one.

I still remember when "You need us for everything you do" changed to "Weather you can always turn to."  Oh, those were the days, my friends... I thought they'd never end!
