NBC Weather Plus Discussion

I wonder if Comcast around here will make Weatherscan a Clear QAM channel on digital once Weather Plus is discontinued?

If only, if only...

The Weather Plus here (WGAL 8) has not been showing the national OCM segments, either. I find it a lot more enjoyable to watch with just the national music/maps feed rather than the national OCM feed.

Same here. I was watching that all evening yesterday. The OCM's at WX+ suck, but I love the music and graphics (not the L-bar, but the maps). The way it is now reminds me of the national version of Weatherscan. I'll miss that.

For some people here, I hear that the local LBar is gone. I will keep posted as well, so here's mine (still local):

Yeah it looks like WxPlus is slowly but surely winding things down.

[Tyler]

As if they had much to wind down.

[Mike M]

Wow, my WeatherPlus never had those precip chance indicators on the 5-day forecast like yours did!

Really? Mine did. And on the hourly forecast, it displayed precip amounts (.10", .50", etc).

LOL, very true.

Mines doesn't have precip chances on the 5 day forecast either, but it does have the precip amount on the hourly forecast.

Yup.

This is a look at airport delays

and it shows nothing.

And if you notice, it was in the 9:00 (PM) Hour that the picture was taken, and the conditions said Sunny.
But then again, that could b a WFLA issue.

Come to think about it, some of the WeatherPlus links has been redirected to the NBC Weather BETA links:


 - Chicago (http://www.nbcchicago.com/weather)
 - Dallas/Fort Worth (http://www.nbcdfw.com/weather/)
 - Los Angeles (http://www.nbclosangeles.com/weather/)
 - New York (http://www.nbcnewyork.com/weather/)

These are just a few links.

Mine displays precise precip amounts such as 0.01.

My NBC Weather Plus isn't localized anymore.. it's just showing the national feed :/ No Local L-bar, it's all national... It looks like WCAU-TV (NBC10) phased out all of the local stuff

[Mike M]

Apparently WeatherPlus University is still on. Looks like that is the only segment left. Other than that, it's just maps with music, and commercial breaks.
