Local Forecast / Re: Which Weatherstar is better?
« on: August 26, 2022, 07:43:45 PM »
For years, I would have chosen the 4000. It's the one I grew up watching. But lately, I've become fond of the 3000. Something about its simplicity makes it endearing.

It was a hardware issue, but was resolved awhile back.

Hey, does Mr. Starks still sell CDs? Last update was 4 years ago.

How about digital downloads?

Not that I know of.

As far as I know, yes.

How to put the images on the software?
I'm talking about the one from here: http://www.taiganet.com/

You can't. Bill needs to fix the program.

Here's where I found it listed: https://weatherchannel.fandom.com/wiki/July/August_2007_Playlist
Plus there are also 2 posts on here that talk about this song: https://twctodayforums.com/forums/local-forecast/here-is-the-july-2007-playlist/
https://twctodayforums.com/forums/local-forecast/need-playlists-from-2007-and-2008/
Your playlist doesn't even list this song because 32 songs are listed on your playlist for July/August 2007, but there were actually 33 (while 15 Daytime, 10 Primetime, and 10 Overnight would be 35, 2 songs played in both Daytime and Primetime, which would mean there were 33 unique songs).

Hmm. I counted 31 unique songs on that page. (I added them to an Excel spreadsheet, sorted by first letter, and then deleted the duplicates.) Anyway, I sent an email to someone that might know. I'll post his answer here when I get it.

Update: He responded and believes that the song is "After Sunset" by Vince Madison on my playlist. He's not sure why it was originally under the name Nathaniel Valentin Bolensky.

It's not on my playlist, so it must be a different song and artist.

Local Forecast / Re: Pleasant Days by Robert McLaughlin found...

There were a lot of songs submitted under different names and titles in the late 90s and 2000s. I'm not sure why, but maybe it had something to do with licensing? I just did a quick search, and it appears that Gary and Robert/Bobby are friends on Facebook. So maybe Bobby submitted it on Gary's behalf?

I didn't realize some cable companies still had it. It's not really needed for DirecTV. We get a local forecast that has most of the same data.

I know this is almost 10 years late, but the artist behind the version TWC played in the 80s is "Billy Mann".

Yah, someone emailed me the ID a few years ago.

All are welcome!

I actually got to meet him back in 2019 at a college meteorology conference and he was the nicest guy. We just sat and talked about broadcasting for awhile.

That's pretty cool. He was never one of my favorites when he was on TWC, but in recent years, I've came to appreciate him more. While reviewing footage for site updates, I've come across a few of his presentations and a couple of his comments made me laugh out loud. He was professional, classy, and laid back without being goofy. Nice to hear that he was in person like what he seemed on camera.

How do we feel about TWC reviving Storm Stories? (As Storm Stories: The Next Chapter" What about "Deadline to Disaster"?

They're reviving Storm Stories (or Storm Bories as a friend of mine liked to call it)? Oh brother. :thumbdown:
