I also added more narrations for the temperature numbers during Current Conditions product for future IntelliStar Powerpoint.
"Currently the temperature is..." (March 2004)
"Currently in your area..." (March 2004)
"Currently in our area..." (May 2005)
"Currently the temperature is..." (March 2004)
"Currently in your area..." (March 2004)
"Currently in our area..." (May 2005)

I used Samantha from TTSDemo website, and added narrations for PowerPoint IntelliStars, as opposed to Allen Jackson, aka Vocal Local. To add extra narrations, visit ttsdemo.com and click on "Voice" tab, and select "Samantha (US)" Voice. Note: "Winds" and is mispronounced, so you gotta type in "Windz" to make it the correct pronunciation. Secondly, "Record" is mispronounced, so you gotta type in "Wrecord" to make it the correct pronunciation. I.E. Near record high/low temperatures. Also, if the wintry precipitation is forecasted, make sure you typed in Chance of snow X%, and put a period at the end of the sentence. Instead of number, put the word to start a new sentence. I.E. "Chance of snow 80%. Three to 5 inches of snow expected." To download a text to speech file from TTSDemo, type anything you want, click "Say it", right click on command, and click on "Inspect" or hit "Ctrl+Shift+I", then go to "Network", then select All, and then play the audio file again. Then search for Media file, right click on command again, and left click on "Open in New Tab". It will direct you to this page where you can download the audio file. It's that easy!

Weather icons made its debut on October 8, 2013 from the official website, it looks very similar to The Weather Network in Canada. This icon will match when The Weather Channel makes big changes in November with brand-new graphics, Local on the 8s, and much more.

When I visit weather.com and typed in states in NY Metropolitan areas, such as New York City and Staten Island, the weather icon shows the sun icon instead of the moon icon during the nighttime hours, which was reported as an error.

While you're watching "Local on the 8s" on the IntelliStar, The sponsor ad (as Proven Winners shown) is usually in the upper right hand corner, but now moved about three spaces to the left.
