Guest zas1977 Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 The Weather Channel, today, debuted new Intellistar graphics for the Local on the 8's. The new forecasts are complete with sound effects for the weather conditions expected for the given period, such as rain drops. I don't care for them. The colors are too soft, when I'd prefer bold. Maybe they will change based on the time of day (I caught the forecast this morning.) I think the Local forecasts are in HD now too. I read an article last week about the Locals in "dazzling" HD. Any DirecTV viewers catch an HD forecast? article: http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/071010/new046.html?.v=25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Que 73 Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 The HD version of TWC is very impressive and the graphics look amazing. I wonder why they won't take some of those elements and apply them elsewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrfRptr 3 Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 TWC has been awful for the last three years. When they got away from forecasting and more into "telling weather stories" it wasn't worth watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clind 2 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Seems like a nice change with how bright they are, good job TWC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clind 2 Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Wow, the generic national feed looks pretty darned good. Kinda different how the cities come up on bottom, with a little bit of a bounce in the process. Off topic, but spending some time at my grandfather's during the Thanksgiving holiday, HDTV is honestly amazing and nothing really seems to show the realness of actually watching one except actually sitting in front of one and watching stuff. Still, the problem was he had Dish, so no CNN HD or FBN HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
