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.

Programming and Graphics / Special Message - TWO Years of #ItsAmazingOutThere

« on: November 12, 2014, 03:14:53 PM »

One year ago (11/12/13), TWC switched to the new Weather All The Time Graphics.  It's nuts it's been that long.
UPDATE: Wow!  Another year has gone by, making 2 whole years since WATT and #ItsAmazingOutThere launched.  Can you believe it??

Programming and Graphics / The Weather Channel - LIVE ON YOUTUBE

« on: July 02, 2014, 03:42:32 PM »

UPDATE: DISCOVERED AT 3:10 PM EST.
UPDATE: Video made private at 4:15 PM EST .
UPDATE: Available again at 4:50 PM
Hi guys, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but, today I spotted on TWC's YouTube Channel that they are running a livestream of the National HD feed!

I quickly ran downstairs and turned on my screen recorder.  I was one of the first five users tuned in!  I managed to capture the first Local on the 8s segment they played, as well as the Hurricane Central intro, the first one played on TWC with the new graphics as far as I know.  I'll be placing this recording on YouTube soon.

As of 4:50 PM EST, the stream is still running here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmPN3n_SVPw&feature=youtu.be
 

I really hope this isn't just a temporary thing due to Tropical Storm Arthur, but if it is, I'm grateful to be able to watch the HD feed for once, as Armstrong doesn't provide TWC in HD.

Here's a link to my recording: http://youtu.be/ICHbXmae8us

UPDATE: So now the question is, is this a sign of things to come?

Is there anyone who still uses this forum and is willing to work with me to create an IntelliSTAR emulator based on the new "Weather All the Time" IntelliSTAR theme?
