I am in no way a "playlist" expert, but why can't TWC just use the same playlist (for its designated two months) 24/7?  I know WUWA used to play vocal music, but since that doesn't look like it is happening anymore, shouldn't they just have the same playlist as all the other shows? :dunno:

HiRAD is out!
I've gone off on a journey to be a moderator at another forum, but this place will forever remain home for me~

Its more than likely your airport site.. not all STARs/WxScans switch their CC title to airport names during a HiRAD outage. :no:

HiRAD appears to be working again, according to weather.com. I checked my weather conditions online and it has been updated from 6:05PM PT to 8:05PM PT  :biggrin:

On the IntelliStar, when Windy Conditions reported, the Windy icon doesn't display in any of the Current Conditions products, like Sunny and Windy, and Partly Cloudy and Windy, and Cloudy and Windy, but I hope in the future, Sunny and Windy icon, and Partly Cloudy and Windy, and Cloudy and Windy icon might be reported in any of the Current Conditions products, as well as the regular Windy icon when reported as "Fair and Windy", and "Mostly Cloudy and Windy".


The windy icon has never (and will likely) never be used on the CC product or The Week Ahead product because having an icon with the word "WINDY" right above a text forecast that says "windy" is redundant.

You spoke too soon :P

I believe "windy" (with no other weather accompanied by it) is used in the IntelliStar CC screen when rain squalls are being reported. I remember this happening here back in 2009.

YES! That's probably the cheapest intro they have made, and the country music makes it even more awful.

The intro production is sucky, but it's the music that kills it for me. I'm not against country, but that is absolutely the worst application of it I have heard/seen.

I don't like it.  The music doesn't seem very professional.

On another note, I didn't realize I made that false statement until I looked over your post again, Zach. :P
