My area doesn't get the local-localonthe8s forecast, its the national feed. How do you get it or do you have to request it?

Are you talking about the standard definition or high definition feed?  Very few high definition feeds are equipped with IntelliStars to receive a local forecast, but the vast majority of standard definition feeds have a Star.

However, this is for cable.  Satellite viewers may or may not have a local forecast generated based on their zip code, but this is a combination of local information and the national feed, and looks quite different than a local forecast generated by a Star at a cable headend.

Here is another XL I discovered while I was at work. It serves the Tuscola, Arcola, and Sullivan, IL area. Enjoy.

Nice! I noticed that the maps are shifted more towards northern Illionois/Southern Wisconsin.

For you non-HD viewers, the HD LF is frozen causing Trammell to come up.

No, look closely. The radar is shifted more towards western Indiana.

Well, the national SD LDL is back, but the tab bar is solid yellow instead of the normal gradient.
