Questions, Comments, Suggestions / Re: looking for a clip fom early 90s

hi Matt, hope your and all your followers' new year is going well

after reviewing some hurricane data from the early 90s, I've come to think it may have been hurricane Gustav in 1990 that brought us a lifetime of memories... if this is the case, the day was likely one of the last of August or first couple of September of 1990

hope this helps 

Thanks. I'll take a look and see what I can find.

Unfortunately, that song was created specifically for The Weather Channel. It's not available anywhere.

Weird. I thought they dropped WeatherScan years ago.

These people are insane. What's worse, the Biden administration wants to bring that idea to the whole country. You can't just force people to adapt to a new technology. Especially one that isn't ready for the masses (in this case both the product and the infrastructure).

For years, I would have chosen the 4000. It's the one I grew up watching. But lately, I've become fond of the 3000. Something about its simplicity makes it endearing.

It was a hardware issue, but was resolved awhile back.

Hey, does Mr. Starks still sell CDs? Last update was 4 years ago.

How about digital downloads?

Not that I know of.

How to put the images on the software?
I'm talking about the one from here: http://www.taiganet.com/

You can't. Bill needs to fix the program.

Local Forecast / Re: Setting Sun by Nathaniel Valentin Bolensky

Here's where I found it listed: https://weatherchannel.fandom.com/wiki/July/August_2007_Playlist
Plus there are also 2 posts on here that talk about this song: https://twctodayforums.com/forums/local-forecast/here-is-the-july-2007-playlist/
https://twctodayforums.com/forums/local-forecast/need-playlists-from-2007-and-2008/
Your playlist doesn't even list this song because 32 songs are listed on your playlist for July/August 2007, but there were actually 33 (while 15 Daytime, 10 Primetime, and 10 Overnight would be 35, 2 songs played in both Daytime and Primetime, which would mean there were 33 unique songs).

Hmm. I counted 31 unique songs on that page. (I added them to an Excel spreadsheet, sorted by first letter, and then deleted the duplicates.) Anyway, I sent an email to someone that might know. I'll post his answer here when I get it.

Update: He responded and believes that the song is "After Sunset" by Vince Madison on my playlist. He's not sure why it was originally under the name Nathaniel Valentin Bolensky.

It's not on my playlist, so it must be a different song and artist.

Local Forecast / Re: Pleasant Days by Robert McLaughlin found...

There were a lot of songs submitted under different names and titles in the late 90s and 2000s. I'm not sure why, but maybe it had something to do with licensing? I just did a quick search, and it appears that Gary and Robert/Bobby are friends on Facebook. So maybe Bobby submitted it on Gary's behalf?

I didn't realize some cable companies still had it. It's not really needed for DirecTV. We get a local forecast that has most of the same data.
