Local on the 8s during shows

[Lightning]

Why doesn't the Local Forecast on the 8s air during every show? By that, I am meaning on just a portion of the screen that comes on during some shows with the radar.

Uhh, the Local on the 8s DOES come on every show.

The only time the LOT8's doesn't air is during long form programming, which is because they don't want to disrupt the show.

Actually, it still does, at :38 and :58 after, and at other times they will show the corner forecast (also on the 8s).

Exactly. I meant that it doesn't air as it usually would.

Most of the time when a show is playing, I don't see a Local Forecast... I was up all night, and TWC was playing Forecast Earth and WWCH over and over and over, and I swear, I didn't see a true LF for three hours.

Maybe I'm just delusional?

You're delusional.

A true "Local On The 8s" plays at the top and bottom of the hour during long-form programming (Forecast Earth, WWCH, etc.) Sometimes during long-form programming, network control will cue the L-bar corner forecast on the 8s, but that doesn't happen all the time.
