According to this Wikipedia article, we're getting the AccuWeather channel this summer on our local FOX affiliate, WHBQ-TV!
It's coming to all FOX O&Os where an ABC O&O doesn't already exist.
What about in areas where an ABC O&O does exist but doesn't carry the channel, like here?
Because of the existing partnership between Accuweather and ABC, it's not getting implemented. Here's the official press entry from Accuweather.

I wish the user would lower the price. :/

The STAR 4000 is just a mere paperweight unless you have an uplink via C/Ku band satellite to TWC's analog feed, since it downloads everything through satellite (including the graphics). So be aware of that before you buy the unit and attempt to operate it. :thumbsup:

EDIT: I will say, that 4000 is overpriced. A headend could probably buy a refurbished STAR XL or IntelliStar directly from TWC for less than that.

Wow, how ironic that they would use production music that TWC uses in that W-I-Z intro :lol:

I took these three photos while out in Tampa earlier this evening. All three were taken along Bayshore Boulevard, right at the mouth of Hillsborough Bay. The first one is a rainbow overlooking Hillsborough Bay, the second one is a nice cumulonimbus cloud I saw towering to the east, also overlooking Hillsborough Bay, and the last one is a view of Downtown Tampa's skyline from Bayshore Boulevard at sunset.

Any luck with finding a replacement for HamWeather, Martin?  I'm guessing there isn't anything readily available.  I saw that TWC's website allows anyone to make widgets to add to a website.
Right, but in the forum's case, it would need to be done via PHP coding, and unfortunately, it costs $20/month just to use TWC's raw XML data now ever since their "new" API launched. <_<
