All Local weather channel?

Just wondering if there's any sort of all local weather channel with WOW? I'm in metro Detroit and with comcast we had channel 101 which always shows the local radar and the current temp as well as the outlook. Just wondering if WOW has anything like this? And if so what channel?

Thanks,

No, there is no dedicated local weather channel on WOW. However, WOW does offer enhanced local forecasts on The Weather Channel HD using Intellistar 2, which Comcast does not offer.

What is Intellistar 2? I've never heard of that before. I guess I'll have to check out the Weather channel:)

It's the name of the system that generates the "Local on the 8s" segment and the graphics that appear at the bottom of the screen. The latest generation takes full advantage of the screen space and resolution of HD to deliver additional information.
