has it been determined if its just intellistar 2 that will update or will intellistar update too?

Good question! I'm wondering the same thing. I hope both STAR's change...

I don't watch TWC as much as I used to - namely because I don't have a lot of time.  However, since I found out they were doing a relaunch of the channel, I've been tuning in a lot more.  I like this overall look and I can't wait to see it in action.

I'd imagine the update for the local forecast would go to both the Intellistar and the I2.

Another question is what kind of surprises will we see when they are updated?  When the Intellistar was updated when they launched in HD, it had a new style LDL and instead of my location of Pittsfield, it had Bousquet.  It was fixed a short time later.

They've stated they like the overall look - which means they've seen the videos. I believe they're referring to little quirks, like the aforementioned location changes.

This just popped up on weather.com.

Look under Local on the 8s - that's what I meant by OCM-hosted LOT8s.  The bottom right picture shows Local on the 8s - Boston, but with an OCM.  Extended use of the dual feed in major markets?

"HD viewers will also get an enhanced sidebar with richer weather information such as barometric pressure, tides and moon phases as well as show rundown information."

My guess is the SD feed is going to be letterboxed video moved to the top of screen and the below the video is going to be the LDL.

yeah, someone had posted that earlier today, just hoping they letterbox it for sd... although they probably wont. It's not hard though! espn and foxsports1 do it.

Jen Carfagno and Alex Wallace will kick it off.

i believe it is a target, or maybe a radar symbol of some type. Maybe its a nod to "WeatherScope"? idk.

That blue thing to the left of the Weather Center Live logo looks like a target.

Meant to resemble a radar. it will likely have a sweeping animation

What a letdown. HD feed is letterboxed on SD, and being that we don't have the IntelliStar 2, we see the national feed. Many viewers will be unhappy if they don't have the IS2.

The IS will be updated but that is a longer rollout.
