Programming and Graphics / Re: Something interesting that I found on the Local Forecast.

Oh, nice! I forgot all about that particular forecast script, and come to think of it, does seem quite familiar.
We've always used Dish network to get the Weather Channel, so I had no idea about the special graphics package. I am not sure if they are playing off of their CD set, but on every local forecast, they only played jazz, with no modern production music to be heard. It's just like the good old days.
Thanks for the response.

Programming and Graphics / Something interesting that I found on the Local Forecast.

Well, this is my first post on the forum. I have been looking around this website, and I just wanted to show you all something interesting that I found on the local forecast in Commerce, Texas that I have never seen before. It is an interesting combination of both Intellistar 1 and 2. More details in the Imgur post I have included a link to below.

I have also uploaded a video recording of the weather forecast, but keep in mind it is a bit shaky, loud, and was recorded from a tube television, but you should be able to hear jazz playing through the speakers, and see exactly what I am talking about.

While the graphics seem to be from around '08 and '09, I am not sure, seems like a custom version. Also, didn't they retire all of the original IntelliStar units? This is quite puzzling to me, so this is one reason why I posted here. Is this an error, or intended? Has anybody else experienced this before?

Also, I checked the college website and they also seem to be fans of The WeatherStar XL...
