I love this jazzy primetime. Haven't heard such music since early 09

Very odd though, something's not right about this...

They might be starting the storm alert music. They mixed up playlist music before the real storm alert music started in the past

Storm Alert music should start either this afternoon, tonight, or tomorrow.

It appears the L-bar has made a return at :18  :o

Maybe it hasn't been discontinued for good.

Assuming the L-bar is the squeezeback, I wonder if TWC has now reached the final stage of their expanded coverage by showing the LOT8s utilizing the squeezeback, allowing them to simultaneouly show local weather and continued coverage.

This was tested earlier on. Pretty neat idea, IMO. :yes:

Wait.
Please tell me you mean the XL - I wasn't paying attention earlier. I was instead making my top secret awesome STAR concept (off-topic).  :biggrin:

I've been meaning to ask this for the longest time, but are they ever going to fix that pesky glitch of the Satellite LDL being underneath the IntelliStar LDL?

What do you mean?  The Weather Channel broadcasts a nationwide LDL, which local Intellistars cover up with their own LDLs.  If the timing is right, then an Intellistar viewer shouldn't see the national LDL.  Viewers with an XL, 4000, Jr., and no star, however, will see the national LDL.

I assume this:



Notice that you can see a few pixels of the national LDL above the local LDL.

I don't know if this happened the previous hour or not because I wasn't watching, but at 10:59pm I saw the station ID. I thought that was kinda odd to show up randomly. :unsure:

We have a channel called News Zone that shows the different news channels on one screen. For TWC they show the feed from Hutchinson, KS. I saw the extended forecast red box showing up on it this afternoon. All I could make out was that there were isolated thunderstorms possible that day and I thought it said something about severe weather possible. Anyone in Hutchinson see this and verify? I'm thinking this is something auto-triggered based on forecast and not something meteorologists have to trigger manually like someone had mentioned earlier.
