Well, I got around to asking FPB about Lawrenceburg and Versailles. I'll see if I get an e-mail before 5PM...

Well, Here is the e-mail:
Quote from: John Higginbotham

Versailles is part of what is sent with Frankfort on channels 19 and 32.
Don't know if L'burg could be added, but I'll ask. That's a good idea.
Thanks,

Hm, that's interesting. Post a clip if those segments make their way to your Weatherscan.

Is it me, or does the female narrator sound a bit like Kristin Dodd? I was just watching her on EE, then watched a video Mike sent to me through youtube and I definitely detect similarities in the voice, even though I doubt she's doing the narrations...

As I said in the video, the narrator's name is Amy Bargeron. She also has narrated many of TWC's sponsor graphics since 1998.

Are the IntelliStar and Weatherscan IntelliStar on the same machine or do they have two separate machines for that type of thing? I just want to be clarified on this...

Then why does the Domestic Intellistar come with Weatherscan's font (Frutiger)?

Because it can be used for either purpose, so it comes equipped for both.

I bet the Weatherscan IntelliStar comes with the Domestic IntelliStar's fonts too :P Simplicity in the eyes of the weather channel...

Well, it has to... the L-bar portion uses the interstate font, I think.

Correct. As do parts of the traffic segment.


Also, I noticed last night - on the domestic Istar, Frutiger is used for the font on the Lbar's clock.

Ahh! I knew that was her. I knew the voices sounded the same!
