One of these days I will make it down there...I'm only about an hour and a half away.

If a station really wants to, they can get a hold of the O&O graphics if they aren't an O&O. CBS is not forcing it on all stations, CBS 46 just decided the graphics looked nice (I agree!). I can think of a few examples of this...one being WSMV-TV (NBC) in Nashville. They've used the NBC O&O graphics going on 5 years, but they are owned by Meredith as well.

If you didn't know already, there's another forum called TVNewsTalk pertaining to all things media related that quite a few people from this forum, including myself, are members of. Here's the thread pertaining to CBS 46's relaunch: http://forums.tvnewstalk.net/index.php?/topic/13586-cbs-atlanta-rebrands-as-cbs-46/

I was really surprised when I received a letter from Xfinity informing me that I was eligible to upgrade to their Extreme Internet Boost package for no charge. I gave them a call, and sure enough, I was able to upgrade for free.

I was even more shocked when I checked out my new speeds:

I'm almost 100% sure that service came with TWC. We NEVER had to pay for it when we had DirecTV...

They're issued all the time. NWS Memphis tends to make theirs a little more predominant and out there for the sake of FedEx who is headquartered at Memphis International. Most NWS offices just send them directly to the airports.

Weatherscan Discussion / Re: Weatherscan Topic

Whoever edited that didn't do much of any research before editing. It sounds like Weatherscan was down on their end so they assumed it dead for everyone. It's still up, running just like normal. Edits have been reverted by me on Wikipedia.
