The WeatherNation stream is back up at http://www.filmon.com/#WeatherNation


The stream is now high def, but it could use some work, could it not?


Anyways, I started this topic for those who want to discuss WN.

LDL needs severe work. Way too crowded.

It looks like this to me

"Memphis  Temp:76Dewpoint:46Humidity:48%Winds:6MPHNNE"


Too small and crowded. I could do better than that! OCMs need more work. Graphics aren't bad. But come on, they're VIPIR.

One of the OCMs looks like a teacher I had in elementary school. xD

LOL! With the so little viewers they get I'm surprised they were able to go HD. And they STILL didn't fix that impossible to read text and 1x1px icons! :rofl:

Yeah, their LDL could use a little more reworking, especially their icons. They need to enlarge them a little.

I do applaud their efforts though.

Hmm... Their website ( http://weathernationtv.com/ ) had somewhat better icons and a whole lot better of a design.

The LDL though, for gods sake, it's like WN came from China! You like it that small? Please, make use of the white space!

However, very good job with the efforts, and if they can fix that along with a couple other things, that would make them a possible competitor, but the best thing I see from them is their website, ad free too.

I've been watching their forecast online on and off since they started. They are doing a great job for what they have to work with! I'd like to see them continue and grow. Some of their meteorologists shouldn't really be on camera though.

A lot of the meteorologists there get off task a lot, and they really need to look at the camera once in a while.

Yeah, some like one of the ladies that keep getting the forecast wrong for the 7 day
-Screen shows sunny on Monday
-"And were looking at sunny skies on Sunday!"


Your face when Sunday is actually thunderstorms.
