Local Forecast / Re: Question about songs airing on multiple flavors in the 1990s

No, it was not used as a M, J, or L. At least not officially. It might have played during those flavors when the music computer or whatever failed to play a valid song. A good rule of thumb when you find videos like this is that if there's no narration, it's probably just a BTF song playing.

Local Forecast / Question about songs airing on multiple flavors in the 1990s

In this video, "Morning In Martinique" by "EKO" is airing as an M flavor, but on the twcclassics playlist for February 1994, it's only listed as airing during the E and K flavors, as well as BTF (there is a video of it airing during that with a later cut), but all other LF videos only have it airing on K, furthermore, theweatherchazz's (RIP) video description claims it also aired as an L and J (the latter without narration like the M). My question is, I believe it being used for E since it's listed on the playlist, and it obviously aired as an M, and videos confirm it aired as a K, but did it really also air as an L and J or did theweatherchazz have a false memory? And did it start from the beginning on all those flavors, or did at least one have a later cut like the BTF?

Whoops, I managed to forget this thread existed. Anyways, here are some more things I haven't yet shared here:

Weather Star XL v3 Traffic Flow concept, made not too long after I made the v2 concept.


An Air Quality concept for Weatherscan Local (XL) I made back in October 2023.


And more recently, here is a concept of Retro (on the) 8's except a bit more accurate to how it could be presented on the WeatherSTAR 4000. Featuring a custom LDL that fits with the current era of TWC (although probably doesn't look the best with overscan.)

Yes, they did change the name. The rest of the show seems to be the same.

This place is mainly a ghost town these days, I doubt anyone who was active at the time those videos were posted is still coming here on a regular basis.

Maybe some ended up on the Internet Archive?

Announcements / Re: Status on the WeatherSTAR III Project (September 3, 2018)

Is this still a work in progress? The WeatherStar 4000 Simulator is mostly down for the foreseeable future so I was hoping the III Simulator was still being worked on.

It's been a week since I asked and there's no answer, so I'll ask again, is this still a work in progress? The WeatherStar 4000 Simulator is mostly down for the foreseeable future so I was hoping the III Simulator was still being worked on. If this is no longer being worked on, please just say so.
