Well, if you look at the radar, it freezes a bit on some of the frames. Also it seems to be a nationwide issue

Correct, it's a nationwide issue. The skipping has happening sporadically since Tuesday morning.

I heard "MFSB" by TSOP at Hoss's tonight.

it's "TSOP" by MFSB, Billy.

Heh, whoops. And speaking of that, I just heard the song again in a Comcast commercial.

It seems that Steve is just a freelancer for TWC according to the above site, so there's no telling how long he'll be around.

Thanks for that...even further evidence that Warren Madden and/or Ryan Goswick are gone.

Has anyone noticed that the SD Satellite LF got a minor update this morning? The severe weather/radar maps are more darker now as is the radar maps.
Weather Channel SD Satellite Local Forecast Update- 7/20/10

As I had wondered, the new basemaps have migrated their way over the the SD SatLF. Thanks for the video.

On WUWA, they went to Jen Carfagno's desk in the old studio, and displayed on her screen was Titan with the old basemaps.

Edit: Carl was showing a 12-hour west coast radar/satellite loop on Titan, and towards the end of the loop, you could see the basemap change from the old one to the new one.

This morning, I've noticed that the animation of the radar on my IntelliStar has been very jumpy. I don't know if it's a problem with the actual radar data or the IntelliStar itself.

The 11 AM ET hour od DP started with a long black screen, followed with a blank map of the US. The LDA and large HD LDL then cued on the SD feed, with the LDA eventually being taken off.

Wow, the original logo? I thought all 4000s were updated to the newer logo by 2000.

Well, I'll have to look more closely to see if it's indeed what I believe.

Well, didn't the Ocracoke, NC 4000 also have the original TWC logo?

Ocracoke, NC WeatherStar 4000

It has the newer logo.

It seems Virginia is a common place to find 4000s. The one Patrick is talking about is exclusive to Virginia Tech and reports from Blacksburg.

That's correct.  I didn't realize until staring at it during a break today that this 4000 still has the original TWC gradient logo on the upper-left corner during the LF.  The STAR ID is 3950 if anyone is interested.

Wow, the original logo? I thought all 4000s were updated to the newer logo by 2000.
