Programming and Graphics / What have they done to my Sunrise Weather?

« on: June 10, 2012, 04:34:38 PM »

So I DVR'd TWC this morning to get my fullfill of my favorite 2.5 hour weekend morning weather forecast block, only to see that SeaTek ran a full hour from 4-5am ET this morning. What happened?

General Discussion / Fonts help

« on: May 17, 2012, 09:00:45 PM »

I'm planning on doing a project and was wondering if anyone knew the name of the font or at least have an idea of what the font is used for NBC Weather Plus (including the title bars, temperatures, city names, L-bar fonts etc)? Thanks for any help...

Here's a pic in case you need it (sorry for bad quality)

OCMs & Personalities / All the OCMs acting the same?

« on: April 15, 2012, 05:04:00 PM »

Is it me, have all the OCMs been acting the same exact way in the last year or so? All the OCMs used to have a personality, but now they are all exactly the same. Greeting everyone with a big smile, and then acting so serious when they talk about news stories without going off task about things like they used to. I don't know what happened, but they all have such a bland and dull personality right now.

WeatherSTAR Tech Support / Weatherscan inaccuracies

« on: April 10, 2012, 09:15:57 PM »

I have two inaccuracies I'd like to report on the Atlantic City Weatherscan on Xfinity TV/Comcast. Both of these issues are on the local radar (on the Atlantic City segment, NOT the zoomed in radar used on the local radar segment):

1) An Interstate 95 marker is incorrectly placed on the NJ Turnpike in Salem County in southwestern New Jersey. I-95 does not run through this part of the turnpike and never will even after construction is complete - it currently ends up in Burlington at the Delaware River toll bridge and then continues from north of Trenton south into southeastern Pennsylvania. I would suggest either moving I-95 to the correct location or replacing it with an I-295 marker in Salem County (I-295 runs parallel to the left of the turnpike).

2) Hammonton's identification marker is incorrectly placed in the middle of Burlington County. Hammonton is actually located on the northwest corner of Atlantic County.

Thanks for looking into this.

Local Forecast / Russ Freeman/The Rippingtons

« on: April 04, 2012, 05:59:51 PM »

Was Russ Freeman not in some of The Rippingtons songs? I thought he was the lead guitarist, but the reason I ask is because while most of The Rippington's album say "Russ Freeman and the Rippingtons," but some others such as 20th Anniversary and Wild Card say simply "The Rippingtons."

WeatherSTAR Tech Support / XL narration issues?

« on: January 30, 2012, 08:41:26 PM »

Since January 25th, it appears all XLs (at least from what I have seen) have not been broadcasting vocal local narration. I'm not sure if this is an issue or if it was intentionally turned off for whatever reason.  I have noticed this issue on XL #3465 (Mattoon, IL) and XL #5201 (Bennington, VT).

Thanks in advance for your information.
