And also the polling question regarding the narration from WeatherStar.

I'm a weatherman. I love my weather. I would love to go any trips if the weather is nicer.

Man, my Charter headend must be slow: they still have not gotten their new IS2 equipment up and going yet. It's now been five days since the Astoria IS1 kicked the bucket, and based on the audio, #23550 may be still plugged in but powered off. According to an email response I've received from the STAR Team earlier this week, The Weather Channel is working with Charter and are waiting for them to get the new server up and running in the Astoria area. Until then, I'm stuck with the SD satellite feed as well as HD.

I STILL CAN'T GET THIS SONG OUTTA MY HEAD :( #ForeverUnknown
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFATU1Q_aqo

@localonthe8s, after days of research the only results I can get is that your "Unknown Song" is published by SuperMax Music. The only issue is finding them seems next to impossible. It's like they never existed?  :thinking:
I've searched KillerTracks, DeWolfe, VideoHelper, APM, FirstCom, WarnerChappellPM, ImagemPM, Extreme Music, Atomica, Epitome Music .etc. No where to be found. Not Arwed Hauf or Naftalia Tantular, or Outer Self or Everybody Dance! It's like it never existed!  :furious: Unless someone can contact TWC or BMI it may forever remain a mystery.  :club:

EDIT: Just to let you know Rainy Day by CC Gilmore also comes from SuperMax. So maybe someone here has a lead who is a CC Gilmore fan? What libraries he could come from?

Just found this randomly surfing YouTube videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCgPGb4LqMw  :blink: Is this a new beta run of the Local Forecast? Because if it is, it looks and sounds really bad.

If I'm not mistaken, that's a video off of weather.com and not a real IntelliStar. That's one of the LF videos automatically rendered and uploaded to weather.com. The big giveaway is the Wunderground radar used on screen. Those videos also use storm alert music every time there's one small alert. The whole video looks like it uses a slightly edited copy of what we saw in the WATT concept videos. These used to be linked on the forecast page but I can't find them anymore. I'll link to it later if I can find the link.

I notice no 7 day in that LF? Is that a typical flavor now?

I presume it was probably a glitch on my end, since this IS2 Jr was installed just today. The glitch has since been fixed.  :yes:

Same here! Vocal Songs. Maybe that's why I haven't heard any music playing yet.

Just heard one of Charlie Brown Christmas songs just now at 3:58pm ct.

Just heard "Feliz Navidad" by Jose Feliciano on the LF at 4:09 CT- first holiday-related song I've heard on TWC in a long time (not instrumental, but still glad to hear holiday music again, nevertheless.).

Could this be the return of the all-time seasonal classic...."I Saw Three Ships"!?

Vocal Music!  :blink: Wow that was the longest vocal hiatus in TWC History! Actually no, 1983-2012 was the longest. Hmm let's see if this rolls over into next month? Really could care less but that would kind of be exciting to see

Actually, TWC did had vocal music back in June 2007. So technically, that was only a 24 year hiatus.
Classic TWC, Weatherscan, legacy WeatherSTARs, and classic Prevue/TV Guide fan.

Can someone start a new topic and post the songs heard so far?
