I noticed they have changed the wording on the city ID screen that appears at :00/:15/:30/:45. It used to say "Weatherscan is only available on [insert cable provider name here]." It now says "Weatherscan is brought to you by The Weather Channel and [insert cable provider name here]."
It's been like that here since around mid-March. The new phrase makes much better sense, IMO.

Now that I've had Weatherscan for a year it's getting boring seeing the same stuff on different maps all the time. There needs to be more original content. Less same forecast or conditions, different screen. I'd still like to see it have a national segment instead of travel or both. Our Travel regional forecast maps are based out of Oklahoma City for some reason. Never understood why it wasn't based around Topeka or even Kansas City.

it would be nice if there was more variety to WeatherScan, maybe adding some new "localized" segments for that specific headend's location.

You were able to read all of that from that far of a distance in the video? I could only tell that it was a Weatherscan and that's it. :P

Comcast Weatherscans had their logos changed around here this morning to the Xfinity logo. Looks kind of bad in all red in my opinion. Would look better in white like the Comcast logo.

It looks horrible! :sick: I wonder when they will change it to say "Weatherscan is brought to you by TWC and XFINITY" instead of Comcast...

OT: I also think that the new XFINITY logo on the Station ID...it's on the verge of covering the channel number.

How would you get a local cable company to get weatherscan? I called today and they said they weren't aware of it and they would let their marketing department know about it, but I'm guessing they won't get it.

Best way is to contact TWC's public relations and let them know your cable company is interested.

Looks like the Brockton, MA Headend got an update (The Radar/Satellite has been moved)
