What is the idea behind the twos?
I am a British English native speaker, and I’ve heard a few references in American media to broadcasts of “x (typically traffic) on the 2s”. How do I understand this phrase so well?
Is it a conspiracy theory
- that they pay traffic to go outside the hour if you enter a number two broadcast then you get traffic reports based on the intersection/transportation name?
Local on the 7s. Local?
Local on the 8s (or the Local Forecast) is an American cable and satellite television network The Weather Channel. This segment provides viewers with information on current and forecasted weather conditions for their respective area; a version of this segment is also available on the channel’s national satellite feed that features forecasts for each region of the United States. “Local on the 8s” comes from the timing of the segment, as airs at timeslots that end in “8” (examples: 9:18 and 12:48); because of this manner of scheduling, the forecast segments air on the channel in ten-minute intervals. From 2006-2013, each forecast segment has usually been preceded by a promo for one of The Weather Channel’s programs or services, leading into the segment with the announcer stating “And now, your Local on the 8s”. On November 12, 2013 the promo segment was replaced by an intro that was built into the Local on the 8s segment.
