National Background Fails during WSIII Broadcast

In the mid to late 80s, TWC would air a decorative background. Each cable company's WeatherSTAR III would simply output text over the background. Occasionally that nationally broadcast background would fail... in which case the WSIII's normal purple background kicks in during the middle of a Local Forecast Broadcast. February 1987.

@theweatherchazz I know it's three years too late, but the name is "Too Far To Whisper" by Shadowfax.

It's either a fretless bass or an upright. :)

Relative humidity 0%?? (0:45) Seems a little dry for West Michigan :-)
