New Product Playlists (flavors) being tested

i just had a 1 min forecast 

That was strange; It looked like commercials somehow interrupted the local forecast, and then after the commercials, they played the top of the hour Vortex2 bumper.

Im shocked it was the same long form :29/:59 flavor at 10:08am on my STAR

Did anybody's forecast get cut off?

Another 1min at 10:18, going Metro Obs/Almanac/School Day/Metro Forecasts/Local Forecasts/Week Ahead.

Snipe the School Day for the Daypart and that's decent.

CC 8 cities at :28 to start

[mattregozo1987]

The Now/Current Conditions for the area at the beginning of Local on the 8's is no longer available on IntelliStar. This is the first time since WeatherStar 4000 way back in the 90s that the Regional Conditions start and Latest Observations start beginning to appear at the beginning of the Local Forecast for the first time. Although, you can still use the WeatherStar 4000 Emulator on Computer to look at the Current Conditions segment.

It's not a nationwide test yet as I see Albany's LF starting with the CC screen at all times this morning.

Yeah, still normal with the E.L. Intellistar as well.......

[wxntrafficfan]

New one minute flavor tested at 11:08 AM EDT for the E.L. Intellistar. For the first time EVER, it skipped over the radar and went right from the metro map CC to the sat/rad product! I will edit videos if my tuner worked properly today after school.

[wxntrafficfan]

Wow, new flavor at 11:18 AM EDT! 

Current conditions metro map> Almanac>Metro Map Forecast> 36 Hour Fcst>Week Ahead 

and to top it off, "Night WInd" by Ryan Farish, a primetime song, played!

Pat is this a confirmed fact? If it is I'm gonna be reaaaaaaaaaaaaaly pissed 

[texasstooge]

I've gotten the new product lineups as well. Not impressed with it to tell the truth.

The Now/Current Conditions page still starts at :58 past.

[gt1racerlHDl]

The thing that irritates me is the forecasts are shrunk to 1 min to allow ad inserts to take up most of the time before and after the Local forecast

Which a J Flavor if they could make one should take the ads' place

[twcfan68]

I'm happy to see a new twist, actually.

Yeah, same here. I still don't understand why TWC is doing this though 

[Mike M]

This is an absurd move, I hope they don't finalize this idea, especially the fact that they are one minute forecasts and that the CC and LF screens don't show all the time anymore.
