Local Forecast / Re: TWC Local Forecast Revamp?

« Last post by Dylan on December 27, 2023, 06:22:20 PM »

One can only hope. They've never stayed the same more than 4-5 years. Now its been EIGHT!?!

Not only that, but the longest icons (from an on-air standpoint, not factoring in some cable systems kept STARs using previous icons until as late as 2014) stayed the same before was just short of 9 years, from January 1998-December 2006, but now, the current icon set is over 10 years old. Do you think there'd be any chance TWC would have a relaunch or do you think they'd go off the air before that would happen? And would Local on the 8s ever get a facelift or would it be more likely to be discontinued altogether? The only change since the WATT launch in November 2013 was the font and LDL change in August 2019.

They also replaced the two other video screens, made from four monitors, on the sides of the desk and the video wall behind the desk.

I was wondering when they would finally change it. Guess some of the 2013 equipment is really aging to the point it needs to be replaced.

Not only that, any replacements are likely going to give them even better performance at a cheaper cost.

Glad to still see someone posting art here. I used to look at this stuff constantly several years ago, and it's nice to see that not absolutely everything is on Discord these days. I really like how that turned out.

The large video wall in Studio 9, which was made from 16 monitors and was in need of replacing, has been upgraded with a new video wall.
I believe they might also be replacing the older smaller video walls made up of mutiple monitors, as they were not using that part of the studio today.

I would really like to know how they got that big display in their building.

The video walls are made from square LED video panels.

I follow this guy on YouTube.  I figured some here might find him interesting as well.

Where did you get that background? That looks like a background from TWC's Weather Star XL Release Notes from way back in the day, a prototype version of the September 2001-August 2005 background, but how did you get it with no overlays?
