IMO, the text makes it too cluttered. The Low Temperatures being in a smaller font I like, but the text should be only one line, where it is not as cluttered. Maybe saying "Additional Forecasts At Weather.com" like the old Satellite Forecast. 

PS: Tyler, is this the change that you were talking about that we wouldn't like? Is there more to come today?
PSS: Tyler, can you change the title to "IntelliStar Changes", since we aren't just talking about the Daypart anymore? ;)

Sorry for the double post, but now it's reading this at the bottom of the 7 Day...."Detailed travel weather forecasts and conditions available now at weather.com". I think they cycle.

i don't get why Getaway is even shown anymore, unless there is some demand i didn't hear about.

reason i post is because i spoke to someone within TWC and i was told in April that there is "Nothing happening in the next few weeks except for that the Getaway forecast will be removed."

unless there was some radical change to keep it i don't know.

The weather.com plug on the 7-Day also appears on the IS2.  Since it's taking up that dead space at the bottom of the screen, I don't mind it.

IMO, they really should keep it at one line, such as "Additional forecasts at weather.com." Two lines really makes the rest of the data look crappy and pushed together, and something that was done by a first grader. :sick:

For the last time, no new graphics any time soon.

Personally, I think it's pretty ugly, especially on the SD STAR.

would've been nice if the other addition "if there was one" was to show the 24hr local forecast on every lf (Today/Tonight) so more segments/screens could show.

It's definitely ugly on the SD IS, but the HD one is not that bad because there was space for it. It looks cluttered on the SD IS.

A better way to do this IMO would be to either take the local info off the LDL during the 7 day and display the text there, or take the LDL away altogether and display the text more central to the bottom of the 7 day and the bottom of the screen. That would make it less cluttered.

I think it would be disadvantageous to remove the LDL just for the sake of an ad for weather.com.

But it's disadvantageous to have a weather.com ad in the LF altogether. So if they must do it, might as well make it look decent.

I wonder if the STAR Team would take requests on the subject... :thinking:

I wouldn't bet my XL on that...lol.

I will admit it's pretty unnecessary. As said before, it would be much better to be short and sweet--"Additional forecast at weather.com." But NBC felt it was necessary, and we'll just have to deal it.
