IIRC, the ETF was actually discontinued in 2005 when Overnight Outlook was discontinued.

Correct.

It did? I thought I remember seeing the tides, then marine forecast on the Cape May area XL.

Ah, that would make sense to come right after the tides. Do you know if the air quality screen did the same thing?

Not sure about that, never seen video of it or in person. I'd assume that would replace the daypart too since it's one of those rare and optional screens like the marine forecast is.

I want the 2008 Weather Center theme sooo badly, as with all the 2005-08 themes.

Does anyone know what flavor the XL marine forecast would show up on, and what screen it would replace?

IIRC, it was on the M flavor after the Tides, replacing the daypart.

I don't see how they composed music and graphics for four shows only for them to be discontinued less than a year later. Kind of a waste of time, IMO.

Hate to ask, but what the heck is a "baby mama?"

Right now, Music Choice is playing Urban Wanderer by The Rippingtons on their Smooth Jazz channel. TWC played this in April 2004.

Statistically, 6 out of 7 dwarfs aren't happy.

Huh?

At Dave's house, he has Mount Holly for his Current Conditions screen, and the ID is 21872.

I get that same one here in Marlton. I think I live right near the border of 21872 and 21873's coverage areas. Cherry Hill, just a mile or two down NJ 70 from here, gets 21873. Berlin, also only 10-15 mins from here, gets 21896. I also think I live really close to the border of Camden's and Vineland's Weatherscan coverage areas.

South Jersey has at least 10-15 domestic IntelliStar units, but only three regional Weatherscan units that serve several headends and therefore huge areas (Camden, Vineland, Atlantic City).

They changed the satellite lf graphics for the daypart metro forecasts.

Only for it to be changed for the second time several months later to make way for the DirecTV LDL.

Yeah I noticed their style is a bit more relaxed and "enthusiastic" than it was before, but I didn't notice this until around 2005 or so.

CC was Harrisburg, forecast was Harrisburg Area, and the almanac was Harrisburg Int'l. As for IntelliStar ID numbers the same goes for here in Philadelphia. All of the Comcast ones I've seen around here are 218xx, except for Norristown which starts with 25xxx I believe.
