TWC tagging along for NBC's Green Week
« on: November 11, 2008, 12:35:51 PM »
All of the green ads you've been seeing on TWC since yesterday aren't random; this year, TWC is going to be a part of NBC's Green Week, and as a result, TWC is going to be promoting environmental friendliness like crazy next week, according to the ads that launched today, and they will also be airing special weekday episodes of Forecast Earth (it better be during current long-form slots is all I'm saying). Like the rest of the NBC family, they might even turn the TWC logo green. (if they update the Intellistars to do this)

It looks like the extra Forecast Earth episodes will be airing at 2PM Eastern in place of the ICHT hour.

NBC's Green website (greenisuniversal.com) is now sporting the TWC logo underneath it's NBCU "Green Sites," except for one thing - the TWC logo turns gray upon a rollover, not green like the other logos. MY question is, why not? I think the TWC logo looks good green (or on the commercials, at least).

Let's just say a certain someone told me that the TWC logo (Istar LDL logo) WILL be green, as well as "other things" (he couldn't confirm what that meant, though). :biggrin:

I was looking at the list of sites and I saw Maury and Jerry Springer... haha. What, is someone gonna have a problem with driving their gas-guzzling car and they need to go to Maury about it?! :p

Still nothing as of the "new day" that started at 5 AM ET. I wonder when they're going too implement it. I was expecting a special top-of-the-hour bumper and everything, but no dice.

My guess is this will only happen during the week, therefore starting Monday.

All IntelliSTARs now have green logo. Its ugly on the blue LDL. Maybe they should make the whole LDL green as well. Weatherscans also have green logo as well All background colors stayed.

Dont have a Tuner. Like i said, its just the TWC Square Box that changed green on Weatherscan, everything else stayed the same color.
