New Product Playlists (flavors) being tested

[Localonthe8s]

Crap. Maybe it's a weekend thing.

Correct.

Apparently not; the one minute flavors are here today on WN.

That's what I see too. Why are they doing this? Do they not realize that we're here to see the weather, not commercials? No wonder more and more people including myself are using weather.com.

As the economy suffers companies are looking for more money. Can't blame TWC for that.

Noticed that the Current Conditions/Now product no longer starts off the Local on the 8's every hour on the IntelliStar for Verizon FiOS Headends. Instead, the Local Observations will start off the Local on the 8's at :08 and :38 each hour and :28 and :58 each hour, and the Metro Conditions will start off the Local on the 8's at :18 and :48 each hour.

That has nothing to do with FiOS. TWC does it.

[mattregozo1987]

Oh, never mind. TWC always does it.

I noticed after the product playlist change, the duration of the traffic screens are the same length as the weather-related products (~8 seconds). They used to be 10-12 seconds long, which really ate up room for other products to display.

Here's what happened when the Current Conditions/Now Product no longer starts off the Local on the 8's for Verizon FiOS Headends.

I noticed today that the Current Conditions/Now product also starts off the Local on the 8's at :18 and :48 each hour rather than :28 and :58 each hour. The :18 and :48 each hour starts off by appearing Current Conditions/Now product replacing Metro Conditions.

[Mike M]

What happened to the regional maps at :18/:48? I seem to be getting the metro maps now instead.

[gt1racerlHDl]

just got a metro > regional and radar to start with no other maps idk why? i wish they would stop shoving traffic down our throats so much

Sorry for the bump, but does anyone know or have a list of all the current IntelliStar flavors (you can exclude the ones for WUWA)? It seems like when I watch all these IntelliStar videos on YouTube, the screens shown and their order are never the same thing twice.

Also, was the Local Observations list discontinued?

AFAIK, The LO is still shown at :08 and :38 of the hour excluding during Day Planner and Weekend Now
