This is odd... at some point last week, the retired-22434 (New Kensington headend) was brought back! This area had been seeing 22420 since mid-2006! Wonder what made Comcast bring it back all of a sudden?

I should also note that this STAR has been reconfigured since it was decommissioned. It still serves the same area, but has a different metro map, as well as different radar cities. The forecast title is now "ALLEGHENY VALLEY AREA" as well.

Well, Comcast still had the STAR in its possession, it was just no longer in use. I wonder if other STARs in the area decommissioned at the same time were brought back...

Could this mean that IntelliStar #22107 serving the Irving-Grapevine-Coppell areas be brought back into commission? Would be nice though.

Doubt it, especially since you have a different cable company than him.

Do we know if it is Brian Picard who chose what Trammell songs to air on the emergency feed, or was it chosen by someone else?

From when I emailed Brian back in May:

Quote from: Brian Picard
We run a backup loop of Trammell Starke songs that play automatically when we experience problems with our automation system.   The songs are from our library of TS cuts, from which I created a loop of about 20 tracks.
My super-awesome website!

Is anyone's national audio (including the music) much quieter than the IntelliStar narration?
