Now that the storm is ending, "Primed for Excitement" will most likely premiere tomorrow

I don't know...there is still a lot of aftermath to deal with. I think TWC should continue the extended coverage throughout the week and then start "Primed for Excitement" next week. :yes:
There is also a new storm forming around Texas and the Gulf that will bring snow/ice to some areas far south as this past storm did.

Yeah, more snow to an already iced-out Dallas. <_< Houston is also supposed to get some wintry precip too...not normal for them. :blink:
Also not normal is that Southern Texas has a Winter Storm Warning.

TWC is now showing promos that "Primed for Excitement" is appears weeknights at (whatever time). I'm guessing it will start next week (or perhaps tonight although that seems silly.)

OK, that looks NOTHING like the squeezeback that was in this thread. Wonder how the finished product is going to look; guess we'll just have to wait and see. :thinking:

Right, but although it didnt air what i said was only an assumption that it would have aired seeing the reporters they had out were returning/have returned

I'm guessing "Primed for Excitement" will air starting Monday, although who knows because there will be yet another winter storm next week. :wacko: Maybe TWC should just wait until April to do this stupid thing.

By then there will be severe weather(T-storms) to cover.

There would be no way for this to be a new LF for everybody, because that would require all cable companies to purchase or lease a new Weather/IntelliSTAR unit, and potentially switch over to offering High-Definition broadcasting only. Small-town cable companies can't do that. You require a digital receiver box for HD, as well.

NBC needs to keep their communist  :censored: ing hands off of our channel.

You do realize the local version of this squeezeback is generated by the headend's IntelliStar, don't you? :rolleyes: Same with the IS2 on HD as well
