Heres the new ID in full HD

I would have thought that they went back to the male voice for the next ID update. And the narrator is talking WAY too fast. Slow it down there, Sally!

If you want to see what WeatherNation looks like....check it out.

It's a service that lets you watch TV online, and they happen to carry WeatherNation. I don't care for their OCMs...

Programming and Graphics / Re: Studio Upgrade/Revamp

Well since we are due for some graphics changes maybe we will get a good relaunch or something. That's what id like to see at least. Maybe these new graphics will be good and memorable like the 2001-2003 version. 2011 version of the 2001 relaunch is what I mean in other words.

I highly doubt it....

Also, Martin...that image you posted isn't working.

i hope the graphics update deals with the icons and background on the IS.

I'd be willing to bet that nothing is going to happen to the icons or the background on the IS. It's a studio revamp. I'd be surprised if anything gets changed graphics wise.

Yes, Martin said it's possible. But TWC has said a lot of things.

Local Forecast / Re: General LF Discussion

I was digging through the archives and found this text on the 36-hour forecast. I had never seen it before...has anyone else? "Rain....perhaps a rumble of thunder in the afternoon".

I missed the first LOT8s (tuner fail) but I capped :18, :28, :38, :48, and :57 for sure.

Hope you enjoy!

Local Across the 48s for TWCToday

I thought the LAT48s was just for one LF??

Tomorrow marks the 4th year that the TWC Today forum has been operational. In celebration we will be hosting a Local Across the 48s at 7:57 PM ET.

Yep...it was supposed to be just one LF at :57....beats me as to why you recorded a whole hours worth of LFs...

Local Forecast / Re: All Allen Jackson Narration Websites?

« on: June 26, 2011, 06:57:56 PM »

That's because they aren't readily available. I don't know if they're still up, but Martin uploaded some narrations back a while ago.

Someone should tell them about this entire forum, they'd get a hoot out of it.

No radar data on the :38 HD Satellite Forecast.

Also, at :40, they were streaming Live Action Radar off of the video wall

WeatherSTAR Tech Support / 24745 Requests

« on: June 23, 2011, 11:22:45 AM »

On the 8-city product, could 'Eads' be changed to 'Somerville'? That way, it kind of matches with the LDL. I live in the area, and I've never even heard of Eads. 


Also, this is a really small issue, but for some reason it's bugging me....

On the regional map, El Dorado is labeled as 'EL Dorado', with an unnecessary uppercase 'L'. This is labeled correctly on the forecast map.

Could this be changed? I know it's a really useless change, so if you don't get to it it's ok. But could the 8-city at least be changed? Thanks STAR Team!

STAR ID: 24745
Provider: Comcast

In the 11 AM ET tease, they used a double-box screen. One screen had the video, and the other was the DP intro

General Discussion / Re: Kevin Martin vs. NOAA/NWS

« on: June 23, 2011, 08:24:23 AM »

I was waiting for someone to make a topic about this...obviously Kevin Martin has nothing better to do, as his Facebook says that he is in charge of issuing the warnings...which can't happen unless you work at NWS. As the NWS listed in their PNS, the NWS is the ONLY government-supported warnings issuer.....

Sorry for the double post, but it looks like a TWC employee decided to whip out their camera and record Top 5 at :40 past....giving us a behind the scenes look at the "3D" set. Check it out!
