Is anyone else's TWC feed down?

[tpirfan28]

HiRad is back now...and the syncing problem at the start of the Locals seems to be fixed now.

It was a fun 20 some hours, wasn't it?

The music is playing to the unedited end at the first minute then a second song pops up

I've joined TWC Today after I looked for answers as to what was happening today at TWC. I found this website and decided to contribute my information as to what happened. I live in Salt Lake City and have Crapcast Cable. A few hours ago we had the Intellistar back up but the music wasn't starting or stopping on time. If a power surge happened at the studios, how would that be damaging to the equipment?

PS: I too find it weird that the forum that is dedicated to the past would be more visited than the forum dedicated to the current... 

Also, wouldn't it be cool if the old icons made a comeback at least for a while on the V3 Intellistar?

First of all, welcome! Thank you for joining us! We're very happy to have you!

That said, a surge can easily destroy electronic equipment because said equipment cannot supress the surge and is not designed to handle such surges. Depending on how severe the surge was, they may have had to replace or repair many many thousands of dollars in equipment.

Thank you very much for the welcome, I appreciate it!

It was very interesting to see what TWC had in its arsenal in case of any type of malfunction. Seeing Heather Tesch and Kim Perez doing the forecast with the makeshift graphics was interesting and reminded me of the old days. I can't remember the last time they actually showed a satellite image except perhaps on EE w/Jim Cantore or maybe someone else on TWC with experience (not dangly-jewels with the tan from who knows where). I also haven't seen Kim Perez on air before since I don't get up early enough to watch First Outlook. Definitely a TWC outage that won't be forgotten in the near future

Interestingly enough, I was thinking the same thing this morning about those makeshift graphics. I thought "Wow, this is like a trip back to TWC's past!". Definitley an outage I won't soon forget!  :sunglasses:

How did the makeshift graphics look like?

How did the makeshift graphics look like?

There were no graphics other than a satellite map and a radar map for the most part.

How did the makeshift graphics look like?

Really, they were noting more than a some maps, radars, and satellite images with the generic titlebar at the top. No fancy WeatherViz 200 graphics or anything.

The Skytracker was still working interestingly enough

Did they display the 4000 icons?

Did they display the 4000 icons?

No, but they did display the old XL v.1 icons.  :sunglasses:
