Rotation issues were happening before the start of the Jan/Feb playlist, if I recall correctly. "Rushing" is a fantastic song, and it's not necessarily a smooth jazz one. If TWC chooses to use contemporary songs like that one, then I'll be very pleased. I think next month's list will be a good precursor of what's to come in the upcoming months.

Rushing is a classic. :yes:  If they aren't bringing back smooth jazz, I'd like to see more new age music like that and artists like 7and5.

It's not often you see Scattered Strong Thunderstorms in the local forecast 3 days in advance (well actually 4 because it was there yesterday also). Yet, it's still not enough to warrant one of those mets to add a red tag to the LF.  :no:
Am I going to have to resort to scolding them to get them to add one?  :poke: :punish: :P

Really? That's odd. There are three tags on mine, and they're calling for possible severe weather when there is only isolated thunderstorms. It's too sensitive on mine and not enough on yours, for some reason.

And of course they removed it changing it to Scattered Thunderstorms. :rolleyes:

Hey, we've got a red tag for Tuesday, but the forecast doesn't even say "strong" storms...just scattered t-storms/wind. :P

Yikes - that 4000 is in awful condition, except, interestingly, for the radar!  I must admit, though, that it makes for some very interesting visual effects.

Have you made any effort to contact TWC or the Star team here to get the problem looked at?

I guess that poor unit is really taking a lack of rest hard. Also, I guess the moon is made out of cheese after all!

Anyone else a little annoyed that the local forecast pretty much always starts at the 9's except for at :28 and :58? Might as well change the name because it's pretty misleading at this point, even though I doubt they will because of the historical aspect of its name.

It's not my 4000  :no: the ST wouldnt be able to take care of it either its a totally diff department

Thats because the LFs at :08/:38 and :18/:48 are not full 2:00 LFs.. also, I dont know about you but those LFs dont always start at :x9 after for me

The radar usually doesn't degrade much when there isn't precipitation on it.

Sometimes, the 4000 switches color pallets on the radar.

FINALLY! I only had to use some "forceful" convincing to get this to show up. :club:
