[ajharloop]

why am i watching wether

[SpongeStorm4000]

The Local Forecast intro theme this time around is "Techno Torches" by Network Music/Killer Tracks. You may have heard it being used in some of Billy Mays' infomercials.

[mrivera1]

Anyone notice that this map of Europe still displays the Czech Republic and Slovakia as one country?

[stormspotterbob]

It looks like diagnostic mode.

[WWIIOLgeorgh]

Looks like the national LF went into some sort of debug/self-diagnostic mode and began spewing random stuff. I remember this quite well.

[scott5114]

I love how they have the ad all hyping up the Local Forecast, and then the Local Forecast contains.... satellite images of another continent!

[kargaroc386]

at 0:20 lol

[kargaroc386]

i meant 0:21

[SpongeStorm4000]

That's the template for the national icon-based weather segments used from 1990 to 1997, that can be seen starting at 0:20

[kargaroc386]

what's the song?

[twctoday]

The song is Strawberries & Champagne by Network Music.

[joshua87901]

Where could I get this song??

[SpongeStorm4000]

At the Killer Tracks (f.k.a. Network Music) website.

[Fire0021]

Random =D

[TWCFanChris]

I have to have more sleep. :P

I meant was that they didn't have IntelliSTARs in 1995. ;)

[TWCFanChris]

Did they have IntelliSTARs in 1995?

[WhelenVTXR2]

@TWCFanChris Nope. The Intellistar was not released until the early 2000's.

[TWCFanChris]

@WhelenVTXR2 yeah... i know... and plus that comment is 3 years old when i didnt know better

[WishesNetwork]

Intresting...

[roanoketv]

That Caribbean satellite image couldn't have been from 8-27. It's probably an old frame from the 17th when Felix was offshore NC.

[epzik8]

LOL! First a satellite map of the Caribbean, then a grid with several different weather icons in random places, and then a satellite map of Europe!

[thegrudge58]

WTF

[SpongeStorm4000]

"Strawberries & Champagne" by Network Music

[stenosis]

[stenosis]

o_o

[XtremeWeirdo]

Funny.... I think I actually remember that happening. O_o

[KazaBullx]

very random output indeed...

[92days]

i think they it was off or they were testing something

[rzsigray1]

neato!...i like that messup...now can we find a really good blue screen od death for the weather channel...or a kernel panic? that would look neat

[Kargaroc286]

LOL that would be funny to see the intelistars crashing during the LF

[theweatherchazz]

This is my favorite of all your DVDs.

[ASKconard]

Great music! Adds to the effect.

[judyb1169]

all I can say is NEAT!! :)

[gvk9r]

The sun icons from the WeatherSTAR 4000s sort of remind me of Ritz Bitz crackers.

[chris92777]

I knew it by the opener of the Local Forecst, as they appearantely were going through a lot of openers that year. Anyway, you welcome.

[chris92777]

It was changed.

[Eltiempo10]

Yes, thanks Chris! I get those two years mixed up alot!

[chris92777]

Something tells me its 95 rather than 96. you might be right.

[beanboy89]

The title and description both say 1995. ;)

[beanboy89]

Nice video. That grid with all the icons is pretty interesting!

[Lutariano]

a hurricane is formed in the Carribbean radar?
