No, the order that Trevor said is correct there is no purple on the AQ

Well, I mean, honestly, that looks kind of like purple to me.  According to all air quality color guides I have looked at, purple comes before maroon.   Maroon is very rare and is often left off of most of the guides.  If the top color on the screenshot you posted is maroon, Zach, then TWC has it wrong.

Andy, you sure you arent colorblind?

But if you notice, nothing on graphics by TWC is of pure color.. 

EDIT: I did find this, which has the exact colors TWC uses

ALL I am trying to say is that purple should come before maroon on the AQI.   Just take a look at this link: http://www.epa.gov/apti/ozonehealth/aqi.html.

Whether the I-STAR has it right or not is another story I guess.  One color (it should be maroon) is left of off the screenshot you posted, Zach.

I haven't had the STAR in awhile, so I may be incorrect, but it is to my knowledge that purple comes before maroon in air quality alerts.  Purple means "very unhealthy" and maroon means "hazardous."  Purple is not normally shown on the STAR unless it is needed, of course.  I think the worst level I have seen on a STAR is red.

Also, I believe a Weather Bulletin for an air pollution watch is shown for levels orange and above, not just for maroon.   I am not sure if there is such as thing as a bulletin for an "air quality alert" though.  (I assume there is a difference.  To me, the alert is like a warning.)

I remember recently the AQ on my IS was orange, but there was nothing for it on the Weather Bulletin.

Speaking of Air Quality, would an AQ alert show up on the 4000 as a weather bulletin? I'm guessing no since it doesn't show up on the IS.

There's a quick LOT8's intro for Memorial Day.
It was running with no audio but is now updated.

One other change on the national HD feed, insted of the LDL wiping down off the screen when going to a commercial break it now fades off and then the show promo graphic appears.

Looks like the 90-second flavors started playing at :28 and :58 each hour as well during the Weekend Morning Hours.

So if these 90-second flavors are part of all weekend shows, DP, and WCL at :28/:58 now, when are they not used?  I thought someone said not all shows were like this.  I would have to guess YWT and WUWA by process of elimination.   (But that might not be right.)

They may have just expanded over to the morning shows this morning.

My Prediction for every live show by the end of 2012

2 Minute > 1:30 Minute > 1 Minute > L-Bar

Bold = Currently

I would give it some time. Maybe we'll see the restoration of 2:00 LFs at :28/:58 again, but for now we'll just have to deal with it.

Sorry, somehow forgot the most important part: Air Quality Forecast. How could I miss that out?

We've seen Unhealthy air quality here a few times during the summer. Very unhealthy is pretty rare anywhere around the states, except in southern California.

I saw a 2 min flavor at 28/58 past on YWT this morning so they're still showing there.

On the topic of air quality, I thought I remember seeing a LF on YT where the AQ forecast showed a red level. I could be wrong though. This was a few years ago if I'm remembering right.

[mattregozo1987]

Since because of the 90-second flavors started airing May 22, 2012 at :28 and :58 each hour during Day Planner, and Weather Center Live, the 3-Day Extended Forecast is shown on WeatherStar XL, and because of the 60 second forecast aired at :08/:38 each hour, the 7-Day Forecast is once again shown on the XL during Day Planner and Weather Center Live.

QUESTION: Anyone know what timeframe the 4000 transitioned from UPPERCASE to Sentence Case?
