Saw another Comcast ad on Weatherscan this morning.

Now seeing an ad about GSN coming to Franklin Mills in Philadelphia next month. This ad was also presented on my Levittown, PA IntelliStar. The Storm Stories ad was also removed, when the season hasn't even debuted yet.

I wish the new WeatherScan ad said "The Weather Channel HD is officially available in your area"

Anyone know when we'll see some new songs added to Weatherscan? Normally we'd see playlist changes every 1-1.5 years, so we should of seen a playlist change by now.

I've stated it before, but any changes to Weatherscan are on hold until NBC makes a decision as to what they're going to do with it.

And that only makes sense. No sense in changing anything until their sure their going to hang onto WxScan. And frankly, that's exactly what I hope they decide. I'd hate to see it go.

As much as I hope it stays, I wouldn't be surprised if it were to be discontinued. It's ratings were likely lower than Weather Plus since it was never advertised on TWC (other than for a short time in 2005 in select areas). It would be nice if TWC would advertise it nationally so there would be more demand for it by viewers who don't receive it, and also so Comcast can bring it back to my area on digital basic cable so I can record higher quality clips for my YT viewers. Why they never did advertise it nationally I have NO idea...

As I've been told, Weatherscan's ratings are divided into two: the east coast headends get "fair" ratings, while the west coast ratings are very dismal, while the central states are kind of in between. As sad as it is, I only see two possible outcomes of this: NBC is ditching it, or they will add news content into it somehow. Whether that's a simplified version (through RSS or something), or actual news inserts is anyone's guess.

I could easily see them adding news, and I don't think it'd be that bad, honestly. The L-bar concept would work well...

I just got home 30 minutes ago and I noticed that Weatherscan is completely down, it's like it was during the Jan. 2008 Outage where it showed the IS logo, but mines is frozen and there is no music playing.

Wow, that's weird! Too bad I'm not at my Bucks County Weatherscan right now, I'd be curious as to how the segments were like during the meltdown.

How come you can't view the Marlton Weatherscan or is there no Weatherscan in Marlton? :dunno:

I'm at the NJ coast right now, and the TV with the digital box is in use. I get Weatherscan in Marlton too (that's where the Camden/Cherry Hill Weatherscan videos come from).
