What's even better than that is if TWC had a live Weatherscan feed of Atlanta playing nothing more but Trammell Starks.
Why the hell would TWC stream the local ATL WxScan nationally? Whats your logic behind that??

I'll be able to grab some Atlanta, Orlando, and Key Biscayne TWC / WxScan clips next week!

Can't wait to see, although I can't subscribe. :hmm:

And you wouldn't mind coming 60 more miles down past Orlando to capture FiOS's Tampa WXSCAN, would you? :P
I've gone off on a journey to be a moderator at another forum, but this place will forever remain home for me~

You know what would be better than long-form? They could just air the emergency feed with Christmas music and LDL all day, along with the LOT8's and a few commercial breaks in between.
Run weather scan on the main channel + long LOT8's brakes.

That would be impossible because many headends don't carry Weatherscan.

Maybe they could play LOT8's to WxScan music.

Not to mention, its impossible.

They are 2 seprate TV networks. For one to display another, every single headend in the united states would have to re-patch weatherscan over TWC's main feed. It's not like weatherstars have access to unique weatherscan units, let alone the ability to display it. Its the most retarded thing I've honestly ever heard.

Well, right on cue, First Outlook began live with Jeff and Jen, all be it no teaser o_O... It seems like it's being master controlled or overdived or something... transitions are still there though (like for North East, Mid Atlantic, South, etc)

The Weekly Planner also strangely used the Monday, Chooseday, and Friday opening theme music instead of the normal segment opener music; I have a feeling that someone different may be operating this show.
