| | Local Weather Forecast: Enhancements Due - 12/15/2003 - Multichannel News - CA341741 |
 | | Trading on IntelliStar, the fifth generation of its localization technology known as Weather Star, The Weather Channel will equip MSO headends with a platform that will enhance the service's "Local on the 8s" on-air component, which appears six times hourly, with new features relevant to a particular viewing area. |
 | | For example, in areas where a storm is approaching, local radar will remain on the screen for a longer duration, or if an area is engulfed in oppressively hot or humid conditions, heat-safety tips will appear. |
 | | Over the past nine months, IntelliStar technology has been deployed by Weatherscan, Weather's all-local weather network that is expected to reach 7 million homes by year-end. |
