Has it been used on the Locals?  I've been looking and can't find it...but I could swear it was.

Yep. April 2008.

Cool gang, thanks!  I know many of the pieces are stock (they sound super generic)...I'm just waiting for a confirmed Network Music piece to show up.

lol there's a song called "Local on the 8s" by Greg Witt from the album Smooth Jazz Rock. The song It wa You was used in October's but not that one. Can't say I heard a jazz song with a lot8s beat.

I found this on a google search....profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile&friendID=65340580

idk if this artist has music that aired on the weather channel but would they be responsible for composing any april or feb 2007 songs?

Would anyone still like my video from March 2008 of Trade Winds by Eddie Reasoner? There is some skipping though.

Does anyone know the exact date the narration for the "Incidents & construction impacting our area" page was discontinued, so I can edit the wikipedia article?

[Al]

my star is frozen on the LF Screen, and has been since 7:40.

its been awhile since i've seen the SA Star malfunction.

it never was discontinued. i get that narration til this very day.

[Mike M]

Yeah, there are still a few that carry this for some reason. The Orlando Star has also had the narration for all three traffic screens since 2007. Here, it was discontiued sometime in early January 2006 IIRC.

Maybe the reason why these STARs still have the traffic incidents/traffic flow narration is because of the fact that the traffic overview map isn't available for those locations.

well i thought the overview maps were pulled for maintenance, have some ISTARs gotten them back?

That's exactly the reason. Locations with overview maps only get overview narration. Headends without the overview map get narration for the traffic flow and incident pages.

They were pulled out of the majority of markets because the maps didn't have enough digital data, making them less accurate. They only remained in major markets - NYC, DC, LA, MSP, DFW, San Francisco/Oakland, Chicago, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Houston, Boston, Seattle, Tampa, Philadelphia, and a few others.

Some of the markets where the maps were removed include - San Antonio, Miami, Orlando, Raleigh/Durham, Charlotte, Nashville, Providence RI, Richmond VA, Hartford CT, Salt Lake City, Sacramento, Louisville, etc.

Once Traffic Pulse adds more digital routes to your market, then you'll get it back. But I don't know when that will be. However, they're constantly expanding. They add roads here all the time.
