I say it may be temporary because look what happened last time. We only saw ICHT and FFN at those hours for only 2 days, and we figured that may be because Nick and Vivian were rehearsing in the HD studio.

Yeah, but if that were the case they probably wouldn't have shown advertisements for the block.

My WeatherStar XL did not have narration during most of its life in my pants.

Everything Else TWC / Re: General TWC Discussion

I think Dave's favorite location in New York City is Stickball Blvd. He mentions it almost every time he talks about New York.

It's also seems that when he talks about Philadelphia he mentions about his mother living there. I wonder if he'll ever make his way here if he ever happens to leave TWC, since Philly is where he is from.

Yeah they do often lock topics without even saying whether it's a known issue, it's been fixed, etc. I'm guessing because of time-constraints, but how are you supposed to know whether it's a known issue or if it will be fixed?

I think that the west-coast IntelliStars might of ignored this update. Try contacting the STAR team about this.

Nope

So the metro conditions map shows on that flavor? The regional map had always appear here on the one minute flavor even before June 2.

Well, at least it's better than paying a fortune for Comcast.

The only thing I like about Comcast is their large amount of headends, giving me a perfect IntelliStar configuration.

Layne also has clips of the ETF from 1999 on his YouTube account. The version you see from late 1999 (with the Weatherscan-esque title bars) was used until 2003, I believe.

Really?  I always had a pop-up dialog box tell me I had a PM

Yeah, there's another option you can choose to show the pop-up. That's what I used before the new feature was added. I prefer that over the pop-up dialog.

2005??? Videos???

So it didn't appear on the 8's?

No, it aired immediately after an OCM segment. I think Spring Rubber has a video of the 2003-2005 version of the ETF during Overnight Outlook.

It was a segment that aired from 1996-2005 that showed the forecast for cities around the country for the next four days. I believe it aired mostly during the overnight hours (at least during its last few years).

Last check, I saw $121 a barrel.

It's $119 right now, and it looks like it may continue to drop. Let's hope it drops below $100! 

If they continue to drop at this rate, New Jersey could see prices below $3 by October!
