Weather Channel Error - Jan 22, 2008 - 1:20 AM ET

This happened about an two and a half hours after a power surge hit The Weather Channel's studios. They revert back to what appears to be an old WSI system (the computer that powers the satellite local forecast), and we have a glimpse of the old (1998-2006) weather icons that TWC used. Also, the famous (or infamous, depending on who you ask) music of Trammell Starks plays in the background!

P.S. Doesn't that scrolling at the beginning make you think of the old TCF scrolls?! :-)

@javier58348 Did you mean 1:06 AM?

@socool375 I think the reason why TWC came in better than any of the other channels was because I think they switched to the unfiltered feed because of that and POSSIBLY due to their intellistar rebooting too. I'm unsure on the Intellistar part, but I'm positive on the unfiltered part.

I think I remember this. I remember wondering why the hell I was seeing nothing but satellite forecasts.

i think they would of been better off going to color bars instead of a kitbashed schedual like this

i like this, it's interesting, but from the TV industries point of view, color bars would of been better
