TWC Fan Art / Re: Weatherscan Concepts

« on: November 17, 2008, 07:06:14 PM »

Personally, I don't find the way Weatherscan currently looks when it is in severe weather mode. It doesn't get viewers much attention that severe weather is occuring because the only difference is the crawl, and the grey local radar banner. The L-bar colors stay the same.
 
 Here's what I think Weatherscan should look like during severe wx mode. Comments?

I think it looks great! I never understood why the first Weatherscan IS version had their background change, but this version doesn't.

That's what I was thinking too.

OK, back to the NBC Weather Plus topic here:

Although live streaming online is eliminated, ABC affiliate WFAA-TV has launched News 8 Now (formerly Xpress 8.2) online. It shows not only weather, but also the latest news headlines, sports and traffic with local newscasts at the top and bottom of every hour (from 8:30AM to 11:00PM). They also interrupt regular programming for breaking news and severe weather coverage.

I remember over 2 years ago before a local radio station switched from Smooth Jazz to Rhythmic Contemporary, KOAI (now KMVK) 107.5 played "Summer Nights" by Nils.

Here it is with a crawl...

They changed the logo on the crawls, too? Now that's surprising.

In that case, I've modified the Warning Crawls with the TWC Green Logo.

See my Fan Art portfolio.
