I hope my cable company is stupid enough to refer to Weatherscan as "The Weather Channel" because the line-up I saw, said that and the Lineup goes into effect in June, the end of our cable's transition from analog to digital. while it referred to a local 24/7 weather sub-channel as "WTVQ wx scan" It worries me a little...

ABC Affiliate 36 Lexington, KY
Correct, we get it and it's sub feeds on 8, 18, 74, and 247
Thats a lot of sub feeds
Hope its just a mistake. Curious is WTVQ an NBC affiliate?

So today I found out that Chanbersburg's Weatherscan ID is 020778, while Lancaster's is 020776. Anyone know where 020777 is?

Probably just a rendering sequence issue if it went away

Good News here for Weatherscan! Plant Board keeping Weatherscan until at least 2020...

Quote from: The State Journal, Frankfort, KY
The directors agreed to a 10-year contract to keep the Weatherscan channel. Higginbotham said it is one of the most popular channels on the basic cable lineup.

The Weatherscan agreement includes a 6 percent rate increase, but Higginbotham said that’s within his budget.

I wish I had WeatherScan. I wish my cable company, Charter, would get it. Would not have to wait for Local on the 8s or for 30 minutes during the long-form programming.
