It's Jazz Friday again at The Weather Channel! Just heard Pacific Coast Highway by Jeff Lorber and Wait a Mintute by Mark Krurnowski from the TWC Jazz CDs!

Everything Else TWC / Re: Local Now - The Weather Channel's New Over-The-Top Network
« on: March 14, 2016, 10:57:20 PM »
Just in case anyone cares about the music used on LocalNow, it appears they are all from Killer Tracks.
YouTube Content ID identified two of the songs used in the segment I recorded above as "41st and 3rd" and "Ain't It Funky". It's strange, you'd think at least the music would match TWC's On Air format. Honestly, an average person probably wouldn't be able to tell that LocalNow is a TWC product.

Everything Else TWC / Local Now - The Weather Channel's New Over-The-Top Network
« on: February 21, 2016, 11:08:27 AM »
Hello everyone. As of recently, TWC launched Local Now, a 24/7 Local Information Channel that streams exclusively on web television provider Sling TV. The channel uses graphics that have a slight TWC feel to them, especially in the forecast segment. The Akko font is used throughout the graphics, and Jim Cantore narrates most of the segments. The entire cycle is roughly 5 minutes in length.
The lineup of segments currently is:
Local Now ID Bumper (0:05)
60now Bumper (0:05) "All the latest news, in 60 seconds"
60now Segment (1:00) - Associated Press
Weather Bumper (0:03) "Here's how the weather is shaping up in your area"
Weather Segment (0:59) - The Weather Channel
Current Conditions (0:09) "Currently in our area, (temp) degrees, (condition phrase)"
Doppler Radar (0:11) "The radar loop shows the movement of precipitation over your area, over the past three hours.
36 Hour Forecast + 7 Day Outlook (0:39) follows IntelliStar 2 style, except 7 Day: "Here's the outlook for your week ahead!"
Traffic Bumper (0:04) "Traffic Information coming up for your area, now!"
Traffic Map Segment (0:14)
"Key Routes" Segment (0:24)
Local News and Sports Bumper (0:04) "And now your latest local news and sports headlines"
Local Headlines (0:25) - Associated Press
Local Sports (0:25) - Associated Press
Sports Scores (1:00) - sportradar.us
The channel shows an LDL which displays current time, current segment, and forecasts for local cities.
Here is a clip I recorded early this morning.

This isn't an emulation, but actually a YTP to celebrate National Weatherperson's Day!

Actually pretty satisfied with this one... Used the WS4000 Simulator and used Sony Vegas to "convert" it to 16:9 aspect. Song is one of the new ones.

Latest work... Note the new graphics at the end...
EDIT: Actually have no idea why I used one of the old storm alert themes in this...
