Still such a waste on a hard worked on computer local forecasting system, it's too bad people's attention spans are so short that the LFs had to be reduced to an L Bar, but I can understand because our technology is so well advanced that most folks are not going to want to sit and watch a 90 sec. or 2 min forecast they can look up online or get on their phone or iPads.
I don't think it's because of short attention spans. I think it's because TWC wants to make more money with commercials, and, most importantly also to attract an audience that's not necessarily interested in what the UV forecast is or when the next high tide will be.
We already know that weather forecasting is becoming less and less important at TWC. It is changing itself into a reality-themed network. We know that, and there's nothing that we can do about that. Local forecasts just do not fit into TWC's new image of itself.
You're also right that it's a waste of the Intellistar, and it's also because there are so many other sources for real-time weather information that just did not exist back in 1982, or 1992, or even 2002.
