Krishi wanted me to post this on his behalf, the config of the new Intellistar for Hayward, CA:

First ever Hayward's new Graphics on Local on the 8's at 2:38AM 11/13/2013

She's a pretty girl (presumably why she's hired), but is there really a need for more OCMs? I see more layoffs imminent.

Spoke to Melissa, the production music is temporary as Martin mentioned before. A new playlist will start soon but all she said was "LOT8s will sound different".

Hmm, I see. Maybe it's just me but the LF music sounds a lot like something you'd hear from McDonalds..

Is it true that our local forecasts on The Weather Channel are getting shorter and local forecasts on Canada's Weather Network are getting longer? These new local forecasts on The Weather Channel do remind me of The Weather Network as there are maybe only two songs that are played and each one has a few variations to them.

speaking of songs, does anyone know the name of the song playing in the LOT8s? I have not seen the "song ID" screen some people claim to see

This might have already been asked or stated, but what are the XL/4000/Jr. viewers seeing during the LOT8's? Was the graphics update expanded to the legacy STAR's as well, or are they just receiving the national/satellite feed?

Those are still alive and well 

Not for much longer.

I was surprised they didn't take the feed off of those STARs today. I suspect they will within the next coming weeks, but it's good for those with legacies to still enjoy whatever time they have left remaining with those STARs.

Banned because it was snowing at the time, so I probably would not have gone anyways

So what exactly is the system generating the LF? Is it a brand new STAR? A new type of Intellistar?

Can someone confirm this with me? I just read a user's post on TWC's Facebook page:

I love the addition of the song and artist on the screen when going to local 8's. finally we don't have to rush to our device to Shazam it! The rest on the other hand..undecided.

Right before they go to a commercial break, they are showing a live cam shot of a skyline (is it Atlanta?) and playing a song to accompany it.  The name of the song and artist are on the bottom of the screen.

The city varies.  I saw Phoenix earlier this morning.

Really? I'm not seeing the song ID screen. Maybe it's because I have satellite?

For those curious, here's the satellite feed. Oddly enough, the DirecTV LF started to cue in again later on in the morning.

Well it didn't take long for the playlists to become history but I suppose anything is better than vocals
