TWC Local Forecast & Radar Jan 1987

Here's a local forecast with a tropical beach background from January 1987, from The Weather Channel.

This video also shows the radar insertion feature at the end, with the Muskegon NWS radar on the ~125 nautical mile range. Notice the broken range rings and the white static around the edges of the display.

Are you sure it's the 3000? Everyone says it's not around anymore.

they still have some left at very small cable companies. I stayed at the lake over the summer time and the locals were just text, no graphics, no radar. just a blue screen and text.
