1.1b of the IntelliSTAR 1 Emulator has been released! It is very buggy. Please reply with any feedback you have about the rewrite of the emulator. Download link is in the OP. Thanks!

Might you have a youtube video of this in operation?

I know, if you look at TWC's Facebook and Dave Clark's Twitter, it's no secret that people like it, so why not keep something people like? I just feel a disconnect from them.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.. But if I remember correctly, they used to have on-staff an employee whose job was to solely scout music for the monthly playlist. And while scouting for music, I'm sure venturing the cost of playing said music to the licensing outfit was a task in itself. I think the uphill battle here is dealing with a double edge sword.. Hiring someone who will sit on payroll and be responsible for finding music which will fit well with their brand, and also spending money on licensing that music for so many plays.

While we would like them to hire someone to do that job, it might not be in the payroll and feasible for costs for licensing said music. If it was me, I would be more concerned with on-air programming than the LF music. I'm talking strictly from a business perspective.

I can affirm that Mike is correct on the change in branding. Nothing beyond that though on the reasoning and the developing purpose.. Thoughts of my own are having to do with Local Now stuff..

Is it still playing? I hate not having a feed to The Weather Channel when this happens. No one seemed to upload any videos yet.

It is still playing

It's Jazz Friday again at The Weather Channel!  Just heard Pacific Coast Highway by Jeff Lorber and Wait a Mintute by Mark Krurnowski from the TWC Jazz CDs!

Ugh.. I can't take this smooth jazz stuff.. Would they just put the production music back!!
