Remember that he has prostate cancer, and could be leaving work because of his illness. The same scenario happened to WPVI Sports Anchor Gary Papa who died from it earlier this year.

Prostate cancer? Since when?

I remember looking up NBC WeatherPlus' website too shortly before its shutdown.

I assume by v1 you mean the one where it was just a continuously looping LF, so v2.

TWC documentaries or movies?

Correct, v1 just had a looping LF with only one song/NOAA Weather Radio.
 
Anyways, documentaries.
 
American 4000 or Canadian 4000?

Hmmm, does this production music sound familiar?

It just goes to show you how popular that song has become since 2005.  I imagine if it's played again someday that most people throughout the country will still recognize it and think the next Katrina is coming.

Wasn't this composed by DeWolfe Music?

Local Forecast / Re: Should the STARs 4000 and Jr. retire?

« on: October 24, 2009, 02:57:24 AM »

from this email about star enhancements

Alex-
 
Star software enhancements happen all the time.  Since I am not on the engineering side of the business, I do not know exactly what they are or when they occur.  Sometimes these changes are visible to the consumer, however often they are not.  We anticipate phasing out the older model Stars (XLs and 4000s) over the next couple of years due to their age, reliability issues and the high cost or maintenance.  More importantly however, contrary to your feelings about the XL, most people would prefer the better graphics, radar and detail that the IStar offers.

Maybe this has something to do with analog cable.    The FCC will be discontinuing analog cable in 2012. I don't think neither the Juniors, 4000s, or XLs are able transmit a output signal through the digital cable signal. The last major upgrade for the 4000s and Juniors came around 2002 when TWC discontinued using NWS forecasts. Maybe this may be the last version of both the 4000s and Juniors (possibly the XL too).
