Not yet, but I'd be happy to see other maps (besides the radar) again on LOT8s.

No sight of this on my IS2, or a few others I had friends check. Maybe it's a beta test of the maps?

Last IS1 SD Local was seen at 10:08am EST today. Thank you to all of the designers who engineered the system.

Hmm... That's Louisville's IS2, which means it's close...

EDIT: Frankfort's IS2 is the same, unless this is the return of "flavors" and it won't air at :38 past. I'll check at :48 and :18 but this looks to be a Louisville-centric beta test.

Anyone else not looking forward to "Dead of Winter: The Donnor Party"? Looks like a movie to me.....Not good TWC!!!!!! Hopefully we'll hear of more live hours soon! I have a couple of new OCMs over the last week so I hope that's a good sign.

Sadly, there's more reality shows to come before they restore live weather hours. Hopefully, this will be the last seasons for these shows:

Yeah I saw that already, thanks! It would be nice to know how much TWC had in development when they canceled Sam's AMHQ.  I understand them wanting to follow though on their projects but how much is left????

Back at the beginning of the month the Allentown IntelliStar 1 I was recording was finally replaced. I managed to tune in at the right time and I caught the very first LFs after the LDL first showed over national.
! No longer available

What I find amazing is the fact that an LF ran without anything more than the CC and radar data. Normally the IntelliStar 2 Jr. wouldn't even output the LF if that was the only data available.

Haven't posted this here yet, but I caught this glitch on my new IS2 Jr yesterday:

TWC IntelliSTAR 2 Jr Error- Astoria, OR- Dec. 8, 2015- 3:18PM PST


Gotta admit, that plain white background is fancy, even though the product slider on the bottom is impossible to read.  :lol:

They are live tonight until at least midnight, WU was extended an hour too but it was all "special coverage" in The Lab.
