The WeatherNation stream is back up at http://www.filmon.com/#WeatherNation (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:
-
Uh, the stream I'm seeing is not in HD. :blink:
-
LOL, the OCM that is on right now mispronounced Hillsborough County (Zach's county) as "Hillsbarrel County" LOL
-
I watched maybe 10 seconds of WeatherNation, then i frew up :D
-
Uh, the stream I'm seeing is not in HD. :blink:
Well it was... not sure what happened
-
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.
-
The Weather Nation!! :D yay!
-
Hmm... Their website ( http://weathernationtv.com/ (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.

WeatherNation Local Forecast 7/8/2011 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UROV4ALDXAo#)

Hopefully they're reading this site so they can acknowledge our suggestions
-
Hmm, this all seems familiar:
Weather Cast Channel (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Jt0u1NevQY#)
-
Appreciate the input!
Our developers have already begun work on the LDL to improve it. We have already taken away the transparency of it and will be increasing the icon/font size very soon. In addition, we will also be including some additional data such as severe weather warnings.
The radars/graphs are being overhauled as well to increase the size of the data being displayed on the screen.
We truly appreciate your support and taking time to provide us with your comments. Rest assured, we are listening!
They really do listen. :biggrin:
-
Noticed the text was enlarged today, although the icons could still be a little more larger. No changes made yet to the sex music segments.
-
They're going to add jazz music to the segments soon. Keep requesting them about this, and maybe they'll implement it sooner.
-
Hummm not bad, I kinda like the this weathernation channel except the music on the local forecast im glad there getting jazz :yes: other than that i like it.
-
Glad they actually listen to their viewers. I run this channel in the background while I'm working on graphics and such. They do a great job, I'm now a fan of Kristen Clark lol. :bleh:

WHAAAA?! They're showing porn on there now? :blink: :P

Well TWC had Weather Porn :rofl2:

WeatherCenter After Dark could be on NBC's radar in the not too distant future

LOL! No, he says sex music because one night I was watching Comedy Central and a sex talk line commercial played, and the music for said commercial? ohh, the WN LF music! :rofl:
-
Wow, I can actually read the LDL, icons could use a bit of growth though.

Wow she reminds me of a young Heather Tesch
-
Ha ha, I think that would be a slight insult to Heather. I'm very impressed at how Heather never seems to age a day.
I actually thought the stream was all right. Definitely got some work to do, but not a bad effort.
-
I like that the stream on the mobile site is now in HD.
-
:hmm: It's been nearly four days since WeatherNation said they were getting a new "lower third system". They said it would do neat effects. I guess that's being delayed but on the other hand, they're supposed to be coming out with a mobile app, which ill definitely try out, and if its ad free and features a nice radar, I think it will replace my TWC one!
-

Maybe they announced this when it was decided that a new LDL would be created, not at the point when it's ready to be used.
-
WN is slowly but surely becoming my new weather source. :yes:
-
Just announced a couple hours ago, WN is now streaming online via their Facebook page (via Ustream). You can check out the Ustream here: WeatherNation TV (http://www.ustream.tv/channel/wntv#) and their Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/WeatherNation (https://www.facebook.com/WeatherNation) I figured you'd want to see!
-
I'm really impressed with the WeatherNation setup so far, back when I first saw it, I was not so impressed. If they can land a spot on Dish Network and perhaps install regional units for cable headends, we could be seeing this as a direct competitor to TWC>
-
I can't wait to see their mobile app when they make one... It will sure beat the ad filled one TWC has!
-
WeatherNation TV (http://www.ustream.tv/channel/wntv#)
higher quality
-
You know... One thing I noticed, their likes amount has nearly tripled! I remember when they were at around 2000 likes, and now they're at 5000!
-
We just got Weathernation in the Fond Du Lac/Milwaukee area on Monday. The local LDL, Radar and Local Forecast all worked on Monday. On Tues, the LDL and radar got stuck on Monday night’s conditions and forecast and I’m not seeing the local forecast anymore. It’s still not fixed this morning. How do go about contacting them, or is someone on here that knows someone at weatrhernation?
Thanks!
-
You have Dish Network and Weathernation? On what channel?! :blink: I think they have a FB page. You should contact them on FB, they always reply to comments and suggestions and keep their page well maintained. :yes:
-

We just got Weathernation OTA on Monday. We now have 3 local weather channels! plus TWC!!! Nice!!
Who runs the LDL's Weathernation itsself? or the center on Fond du Lac?
-
WeatherNation TV has been launching over the air through affiliates nationwide.
Also, is anyone else having problems with the stream on their website frequently lagging? The site is cluttered with ads, thus lagging the stream. I used to watch the Filmon stream but that requires a paid subscription now.
-
I like that idea of them going OTA!! :biggrin: Hopefully they can make it to Tampa sometime in the future
-
We need them in either PHL or NYC. That's news to
me

The only station here that would probably carry it is PHL 17, since they are the only non-O&O here. That's one of the things
that sucks about living in a major city, you get mostly O&Os, meaning stations with less freedom. And I doubt the big 3 networks
would be interested in carrying WNTV.

WBIN Boston/Manchester channel 18 has WeatherNation
-
WBIN Boston/Manchester channel 18 has WeatherNation
wow!!!
-
I read about that. I like to keep up with what happens on Boston TV since I've left.
I wish the Orlando market would get it, too, especially since we have NO weather digital substations anymore. We used to have to, then one changed to MeTV, and, very recently, one changed to the Spanish language Mega TV.
We really need a constant source of weather in central Florida, and we just don't have one anymore.
-
Looks like the channel had a quiet launch on DirecTV. I'm liking it so far. :happy:

Is it a local feed or national feed
-
Just looked at DTV's Channel Guide and WN is right before TWC. Wonder when they added it? Iwas at a sports bar Sat night and I didn't see it. Only the local WN Channel for Milwaukee which DTV picked up. Is DISH next??????
-
According to Wikipedia, it launched yesterday on DirecTV.. this is really good news! :dance:

Technically I have this channel on what USED to be that Accuweather channel I mentioned here a year ago. (I've had it for months actually...)
It's channel 211 on Comcast here, ironically one channel below Weatherscan (ch. 212) which also to add to the irony I can't watch because it's only available on a higher digital cable tier package that I don't have.

My college has DirecTV and I don't see it :( Personally, I'm not too wild about WeatherNation. I am more into Network Weather but if Network Weather and Weathernation both launch on DirecTV and DISH, then that will be one crowded house.
-
Checking the WXNation Facebook page right now, and the overall consensus is: "I'm leaving TWC and its long-form programming and turning to WeatherNation. It's what TWC used to be." They're also saying that some TWC OCMs should move to WeatherNation.
-
It's showing up on my DirecTV. The LF (although in a national form) even has "Joy to the World" playing. Just imagine, instrumental Christmas music on a local forecast. I'll be keeping an eye on this one. If they don't do longform, then it may be the only weather network that I watch on weekends.
-
As much as I like their network their newly redesigned site is atrocious. Way too much going on and half the links don't seem to work. The stream also doesn't work right; while the middle of watching a segment it seems to randomly play a bumper or opener then takes me to the middle of a different segment. <_<
-
This is how the LF is set up here
WeatherNation - Local on the 5s (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVz6V62jGuc#ws)

Wow - a local forecast that's longer than one minute! :o
I actually really like it, especially that "future-cast" showing the big temperature drop when the cold front came through. :P
-
WN very recently changed their national LF to a much more detailed look. ill see if i can get clips of that
-
I've WeatherNation now it's being run by WGRZ. There's local weather on the LDL. But there's no Niagara Falls listed on it.
-
Looks like Accuweather will add it's 24/7 channel by fall. http://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/accuweather-announces-the-laun/22055195 (http://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/accuweather-announces-the-laun/22055195) :D

I like the FutureCast radar, but I wish they still had a Current radar.
I like their music. :biggrin:
-
I have the WeatherNation feed from Lynchburg, VA on my ABC provider. It's slowly getting better compared to when I first saw it although the local forecast still needs major refinement on my end. I actually get a taped segment with one of the local ABC meteorologists for the first part before a brief second part that shows a couple maps and plays music.
-
Niagara Falls is now on the LDL on StormTeam 2 WeatherNation.

Good interview, y'all should read this:

Kinda funny reading that interview and how positive and optimistic it is concerning WN's future, yet you read the comments and they're mostly negative towards WN. :lol:
Something I noticed the other day was instead of showing their own LF, they showed a LF from our NBC affiliate which was several hours out of date anyway. It was pointless, why would I want to see an update from my local NBC station that was probably recorded in the morning when it's actually late in the afternoon/evening? I would prefer they not show our local news affiliates at all and show their own forecast instead.
-
WGRZ in Buffalo NY will be removing WeatherNation starting tomorrow night at 6pm.
-
I never heard of Justice Network until now, but that's what will be replacing WeatherNation.

Sorry for bumping but I think I've just found the source of WN's data.
