TWC Using Old Map for Radar?
« on: May 28, 2015, 12:01:51 PM »
I was watching TWC earlier, since I'm on summer break and I have nothing to do, and I came across them using the old map they used pre-November 2013--before the big design change. It was most likely a glitch, but it was nice to see the old maps being used because I prefer the old maps to the new maps. Here is the video for proof:

I was about to mention this here. Seems very odd. I included a screenshot.

Apparently there's a big internet problem for TWC in Atlanta. Perhaps that has something to do with it.

Could be. IIRC, aren't these the maps they used in the 2008 HD relaunch?

Ah, I see. They are STILL currently using the old maps right now. Chris Warren is taking advantage of this map by explaining how the terrain can be seen. Just goes to show that the plain white maps aren't really that helpful to know what is there.

Maybe leusjo12. I wasn't too sure, but now that you have said it, those maps could be from the 2008 relaunch.

I noticed that my IS2 can not display Current Conditions so perhaps there is a big internet problem at TWC.

For the record, the name of the radar in the above screenshot and video is Titan HD.

Titan HD Radar Maps return to The Weather Channel (May 28, 2015)


Nice to see the Titan HD maps again.  :yes:

Seems that TWC is using the new maps again. Now that I have seen the old maps in my TV, the new maps look even more horrible. :(
