Weather Channel Talks to Banks on Options Including Sale

Oh great, here we go again. Now let's see who decides to buy TWC. Either they'll screw it up even more or maybe end the NBC hiatus.

@SamRichardson92 Sorry if this seems a little pushy, but what is the weather channel going to do with LO8s music? Are they staying with the production songs, bringing back jazz or vocals? I tried tweeting @freddyflaxman but unfortunately no response. If you cannot answer this question then just say so.

Popped you a private message!

Thanks. Sent you a reply.

I shall try to do that. By the way do you know what font(s) the XL uses. I have Interstate but idk if it uses anything else.

The 4000/XL/IntelliSTAR emulations I've been making for the past 18 months or so are After Effects based. Of course when it comes to the radar maps I've been using the ones from noaa.gov. All I do is edit and tweak some things around once I bring them in AE.

The examples below are all FFC blank topographic maps that are used for the FFC radar site on noaa.gov. Pretty neat all the subtle changes you can make.

This one is the only exception, I only used the state outlines/interstate lines (which I plan to redraw myself later on) from the FFC radar site for the 4000


XL v1


XL v2 (Just redid this one a couple of days ago)


IntelliSTAR v1 (Regional and Local)

Alright that makes sense. So is radar data layered separately in After Effects. If so how do you go about doing this. I don't think after effects can import KML files? I could be wrong.

Emulator Videos / WeatherStar XL Emulator Question

« on: September 06, 2014, 08:11:18 PM »

I've always have wondered, all the XL emulations on YouTube, are they actual XL units or highly complicated After Effects files? The Radar looks highly accurate so this is throwing me off. Also if anyone has a project file
for a really realistic XL or Intellistar emulator, that would be nice.

Here's an example from TWCZach

Me with David Clarck (The President of TWC)
As well as the VP of design & the director of design

How the heck did they allow you to visit TWC HQ? Are you employed by them, partnered? If you don't mind me asking are you in High School, College, and do you live in the Atlanta area? Did they fly you over? Also I saw a forum where you were going to ask questions submitted by forum members? Out of curiosity did they tell you the future of programming, Lo8s and music? Just dying to know about that.

Keep your eyes pealed later this year!

What do you mean "Keep your eyes pealed later this year"? Do you mean for Lo8s and programming? If so you mean September or later?

Here's my first shot at this. Features CC Screen, 8 City Observations, Almanac. Weather Data is fake. Looks Like the Sun isn't rising today according to the almanac.

New IS2 Flavor that's been airing since 5:28pm

IntelliStar II: New Flavor 6/11/14

New Bedford IS2: Weird flavor

Looks like it's an error. Although the radar showing twice would be nice!
