Around May 2005, IIRC.
I'd look at the logo if I were you. ;) :P

I remember the maps looking like that back in 2005 during Katrina, only thing was the Satellite LF had mix-cased letters in 2005 on the Metro/3-Day/Radar-Satellite map titlebars until the new on-air titlebars were implemented into the Thunderstorm/Precip forecasts, which occurred either in late 2005 or early 2006. I don't know when the textured snow got changed as I never watched TWC much in 2006. So my guess would be when the icons got upgraded.

That first picture was from the meltdown on 1/22/08, which reverted a lot of things on the satellite LF. But I'm pretty sure it was in 2005 as I stated, a few months before the BWTL relaunch.

Right, but wouldn't the titlebars and logo have reverted as well? :unsure: I thought the relaunch was in August 2005. :huh:

The Satellite LF is starting off with the Precip Forecast than going to a Watches/Warnings slide. :huh:

Watches/Warnings have always been first. If it only needs one screen, the Precip Forecast would be replaced followed by the Thunderstorm Forecast.

They had the ZIP code set wrong on their receiver box.

Was the outdoor activity forecast discontinued? I haven't seen it on my STAR in nearly a year, even after the traffic maps being discontinued. I still, however, see the schoolday forecast during the school year.

It's still alive and well. I suppose because you have more products on your STAR, the OAF gets bumped to a lower priority.
