Here's something I put together in like five minutes.  It would display only at :29 and :59, immediately after the local forecast. 




I like it. Well done!  :clap:

IMO the local weather ID should appear first thing when the programming LDL cues after every LF and then reappear after the 3-4 city loop.  :yes:  Hopefully somebody out there can suggest this to TWC...

Why not just use the introduction screen saying "Here is your local on the 8s" to put the STAR ID either in a corner or at the bottom?  To me, the introduction to the local forecast needs more information if we're not going to make it really nice with graphics and backgrounds like it used to be years ago.  I could even argue titles to songs you're about to hear for that particular local forecast could go on that screen, too.  You already have screens that barely show anything despite the limited time of one minute, so why not use them?
