Yes.  If they have to do 60-second locals, this works.  True, you only get 7-8 seconds for each screen, but something has to give when time is so short.

Apparently, my DirecTV setup doesn't know what to do with the 60-second LF's.  It showed two more screens (the 7-day forecast and the local radar) after the music had stopped and the OCMs had reappeared.  So, you could say I got a 90-second LF "under the table."

That looks like the XL v.2 background. If I didn't know any better, I'd say it is.

I wonder when the new local on the 8s format is going to debut (my thinking might be late may or early june)

Was just about to say the same thing. Recently heard "Falling Star" by Ryan Farish, which was a Feb/March song. I support the temporary adjustment, but I still don't like how the switch is TWC's backhand way of admitting that their other music is tacky and not well-suited all the time.

I think I found a new 4000 in Johnstown, PA. Quite a bit of degradation on this baby
(RARE!) Weatherstar 4000 on TWC

Nice find!  It sure is a colorful local forecast, certainly!  How ironic that the radar screen displays better than anything else!  :)
