Also at :23, but not at :13.
It's weird how it has the HD LF.
Really? I don't have an IS2 here, so I can't tell about the HD feed. I happened to be watching the SD feed (so I could see the local forecasts - there's yet another winter storm coming), and there was no local information on - not even an LDL.
I meant the squeezeback. I'm watching the SD feed (don't have HD), and the squeezeback resembles the HD LF.
This is just a test. It will have local information overlayed when it is used starting January 31.
On both SD and HD feeds?
Will this split screen be used only for longform programming, as I heard about, or will it be used during weather programming, too?
And what about my thought that this might replace the separate local forecast segments altogether? Not in the short-term, probably, but this is something that I can see happening eventually. It seems to follow with the technology that's available now versus what was available in the past. This is similar to my post about why the 3-day extended forecasts existed on earlier Stars (and still do as a legacy on the XL), but have been abandoned on the IS.
I don't think the LFs would be discontinued. If they were, then the legacy LDLs would have to cue, since the older STARs don't have much weather info outside of the LF, and TWC wouldn't like that. They don't cue the XL LDL, after all.
In addition, if the LFs were discontinued, and the legacy LDLs not cued, there would be no local weather to speak of. Thus, the older STARs would be come useless, and the companies with those STARs would be forced to buy an IS, which they might not be able to afford.
