This may be the Weather Channel's first "localized" coverage!

Is the TWC logo going to stay black on the LOT8's? Seems odd it's not TWC blue.

:footinmouth:That would look Terrible

OK, I know this reply is going to get buried in about 20 others, but let me give some of my observations as I was able to sit down for awhile and watch.

First, I noticed that the LOT8s for the SD and HD feed are actually slightly different! For example, the "IS2" did not give an hourly forecast whereas the SD one did. I guess this would make sense if they are still running on two different platforms (IS and IS2). Also, I know someone said they weren't seeing a Weather Bulletin, but I am for the Hard Freeze Warning which is in effect. I am not, however, seeing a warning crawl, but I thought those were only for tornadoes, severe thunderstorms, and flash floods?

Second, as I said earlier, Jim's narration is still on the IS2. The IS, however, has no narration. I know this was mentioned as a bug to be fixed in the future; I'm assuming the IS in SD will probably have Jim's voice as well.

Third, also as I said earlier, COX is not letterboxing the SD feed. Thus, there is not that right sidebar on the SD feed - just the lower bar. I wish they would just go ahead and letterbox it.

Fourth, I guess TWC doesn't think OKC has a good sense of humor, because all I have seen on the welcome screen is "Hello Oklahoma City, This is Your Weather."

Fifth, as a major disclaimer, depending on your cable provider, they may choose to show a local commercial for your area only, thus disrupting WAAT. For example, during the commercial break, an Oklahoma-specific AARP commercial showed. Obviously, there is no way around this, as this is the cable provider's doing, but just thought I would let some of you know in case WAAT disappears for a commercial or two.

Overall, I think they have done a good job. I just feel like the LOT8s goes WAY to fast. Still one-minute locals I guess...

Yea the should letterbox the SD feed. Yea, the local commercial's interupting WATT can be annoying.. but I am sure they will find a way around this eventually.. What I've noticed.. my LF is having some serious audio issues.. Like near the end the song completely stops and then comes back in short bursts :/

I'm probably in the minority, but I didn't/don't mind the background music during the live programming at all. As long as it's kept at a soft volume level.
