This doesn't seem to be effecting the national feed, hence the playlist (part of the national feed) is fine. It only seems to be effecting the STARs.

Sat LF at 6:48 PM ET.

I have a couple of local forecast clips from Feb 2008 in my camcorder. I will try to transfer them to VHS. Would anyone be interested in watching them?

Yes.

It's been a year since the three-day Extended Forecast has been discontinued on the IntelliStar.

So, Bill Ayers was here at my school tonight speaking. There were huge numbers of police, troopers, sheriffs, and news people here to cover it.

Programming and Graphics / Re: What Happened to Evening Edition?

I don't see how they composed music and graphics for four shows only for them to be discontinued less than a year later. Kind of a waste of time, IMO.

Well, really it was only two shows. Weekend Outlook's package was basically a copy of the Weekend View one, and Abrams & Bettes' package was mostly reused in the new Weather Center.

They changed the satellite lf graphics for the daypart metro forecasts.

Only for it to be changed for the second time several months later to make way for the DirecTV LDL.

Really? Wow, I didn't know that. Did they have ETF forecasts during the overnight hours too back in Sept 2003?

they discontinued the ETF in '04 right?

IIRC, the ETF was actually discontinued in 2005 when Overnight Outlook was discontinued.
