There are also weather-triggered statements that can appear in the 7 day. Here are examples on the SD and HD STARs:
That's actually pretty neat. :yes:

I saw the daypart forecast today at 2:38 PM ET on 27100, during the time the radars were out.. is this part of the change?

My guess is that the daypart was used to fill time, since the Star doesn't show the radar when it's not available for long.

Also, anyone with Marine/Tides on their STARs, is the daypart forecast back on those? 24629 never got it since the December 2010 product playlist update due to the marine/tides screens taking priority.

As I said earlier, this is the first I've seen the daypart in a long time, and this counts two coastal Stars: Boston and Daytona Beach.

Add Hammond, La. to that list.

I think I know what "change" you're talking about. It totally caught me off guard. :blink:

I saw it earlier tonight at work and I think it's straight B.S. if you ask me. That's the LAST thing I wanted to see.

Not sure if that made it to DirecTV.

EDIT: It is not on the DirecTV LO8s.

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.

Better yet, why not give it a line on the LDL and it can scroll across the screen when it pops up.

Anyone know if the city list of observations has been discontinued for good?

Is that a temporary thing? Or a new one minute high speed flavor with no ad crawl featuring the return of the 24 hour forecast.

I am very sick of hearing every change blamed on NBC. It's gotten very old, everyone. :rolleyes:

I didn't mean my post to be interpreted that way, and  I didn't mean to label NBC for the change. To be honest, I don't even remember why I put that in my post. That's another point in my life when I really just needed to shut up and keep my mouth closed because I often say the wrong thing at the wrong time. This also goes for my real life out of the forums, and it bit me in the :censored: again. Hopefully this will end the controversy. My apologies.

Also, I don't give a  :censored: about the change anymore. It's just text on the bottom of a screen! It doesn't impact any part of my life whatsoever at this point. It's very trivial and petty (hardly even a change at all...big change all right), and I don't think anyone should complain about it anymore. It's so old.

The getaway has lost some priority, but hasn't been completely canned yet. From what I hear, however, it's days are numbered.

Hopefully a page like the Radar/Satellite when Local Radar shows (especially on the marine Stars) or a Regional Page will take it's place.

does days numbered mean a couple weeks?

No, but that has lost priority as well. It shows at :28/:58 but only if there's no precip.

The only thing that shows up on the :28/:58 on Marine Stars is the Metro CC with/without precip.

I believe They removed the 8 city observations from my STAR. I haven't seen it since the change to the 7 Day.
