What about Weatherscan? Are you still getting the Camden one, or a different one? I'm still seeing the Camden Weatherscan here in Marlton, like how it's always been, and I live farther from Camden than you do.

I do get the Camden one for Weatherscan.

I'm guessing I can use the Woodbury one for now and not complain... it is a mere 11 miles up the street from me, yet Camden was only 4 miles from me :/ Only problem is that it says TWC is on Channel 9 when it is not which is why I don't want them to use this IntelliStar...

If you're still getting it, its possible that either 21873 merged with the Woodbury Star (I believe that is #21862) and they just didn't modify that IntelliStar's configuration yet, or your Star failed and they are using 21862 as a backup feed while a new IntelliStar is being shipped to your headend.

it is 21862... it's been like this for over a week now...

Now, for some reason, my headend isn't pulling the proper IntelliStar unit for some reason. It is pulling a unit from Woodbury or something, and it's ticking me off very much. I would much prefer the Camden area one that I had been getting since 2006.

Are you still getting this issue? If so, I'll go ask TWC's Star department about this for you. I've had a similar issue where I saw your IntelliStar awhile back, but it never lasted this long.

I'm still pulling the Woodbury/Clayton, NJ one to this day, they haven't fixed it yet...

The Weatherscan @ Camden, NJ was freezing a few times around 5PM this afternoon. Could this be symptoms of a sun outage?

I'm surprised you're getting the one in Camden... my TWC is pulling one from Woodbury/Clayton, NJ for some reason for the past week... It's making me angry because those cities are too far from me for there to be any accuracy

Meh I know it's a double post but still...

People have removed 90% of the list on the page and now the views of the fact that every OCM on TWC is notable is being challenged. I need help here but I don't know what to say or do here. Feel free to post your response there. Dunno, I figured I'd ask for your help since most, if not all of you follow The Weather Channel.

The person has requested sources and everything if I want to add them all back.

I just feel like the article that hard work was put into, is being destroyed

The past & present OCM's are back in the article

That because I reverted their edits... I need help monitoring it so that doesn't happen again...

Philadelphia, which is where their headquarters are. I think it was sometime shortly after the dramatic relaunch of August 2005 when the switchover occured.

Was your local weather ID the same? If so, then it was just your CC city that changed and nothing more. You didn't have a different IntelliStar. I'm pretty sure I've seen that Camden/Cherry Hill unit before the CC city changed to Camden in early 2006 (due to the addition of HiRAD technology).

The Weatherscan here was the same way. The current conditions city was Philadelphia while the forecast city was Cherry Hill. The CC city changed to Camden in May 2006, though the forecast city remained Cherry Hill until that December when that also changed to Camden.

The IntelliStar ID hadn't changed, you are correct. Since the IntelliStar's inception to my area in March 2004, it has always been 21873. The forecast city has changed. Hmmm.... I do know, that back in the day of WeatherSTAR XL, the ID was 00939, pulling the forecast for Philadelphia.

I woke up this afternoon to the Wikipedia article for The Weather Channel to have been seemingly vandalized. Someone had removed 90% of the past and present OCMs from the list and had said they weren't notable. I disagree. I believe that every one of them is notable and if they disagreed, that to put it on the talk page for discussion. I need help to keep the article in tact. I know people like MikeM2010 and beanboy89 among others would, but I don't know what people were thinking...

The Article

PS: if this isn't the right spot for this post, please put it in the right spot. Sorry.

Since 2006? What forecasts did you get before then?

Well in my area, we used to have Garden State Cable, which was good. One of the plusses was if you forgot to pay your cable and it got cut off, every channel tuned would be the weather channel, hehe. It used to be on Channel 34. When Comcast bought out GSC in 2000, it moved to Channel 57 shortly thereafter. My area switched to the IntelliStar when it was released March 2004.

Now, for some reason, my headend isn't pulling the proper IntelliStar unit for some reason. It is pulling a unit from Woodbury or something, and it's ticking me off very much. I would much prefer the Camden area one that I had been getting since 2006.
