IntelliStar Changes
« on: July 25, 2011, 02:43:33 PM »
I just saw my first Daypart forecast on the Intellistar in a long, long time.  Too bad it's not on more often.

Edit: I just realized why - the local radar is unavailable, so it's shown for a considerably shorter period of time.  The radar picked the "perfect" time to go out - there are a lot of thunderstorms in the area.  At least one of the local stations has its own 24/7 weather station with radar... and it's not post-NBC.  :)

The daypart seems to have returned to regular usage at :58. As well, the regional maps were replaced with the metro maps. I like these changes. :)

I heard Vivan Brown explain within the past half-hour or so that they're having problems with the radars.  Even the radar map she was using in the studio didn't look so good - it had empty frames and what there was didn't have a long loop.  It's just now starting to update again - on the local forecast, the satellite/radar screen has one frame, and the local radar has a couple already.

Is that for all Intellistars?  I can't even remember the last time I saw the Daypart in Boston.

Both of my Intellistars show these changes, so yes.

There have indeed been changes to the Intellistar playlists this week.

Looks like there need to be some changes made to the Flavor Lineups on the TWCT page....

The only changes I've noticed on the IntelliStar here is that some of the products have been moved around. Like for example the metro map  for CC is shown before the 8 city observations now.

Yes, the 7 day is now ~15 seconds.

Also, FYI, the school day and outdoor screens are officially dead. The getaway has lost some priority as well and won't show nearly as often.

I saw the daypart forecast today at 2:38 PM ET on 27100, during the time the radars were out.. is this part of the change?

Also, anyone with Marine/Tides on their STARs, is the daypart forecast back on those? 24629 never got it since the December 2010 product playlist update due to the marine/tides screens taking priority.

My guess is that the daypart was used to fill time, since the Star doesn't show the radar when it's not available for long.

As I said earlier, this is the first I've seen the daypart in a long time, and this counts two coastal Stars: Boston and Daytona Beach.
