Re: NJ- Weather Channel HD Local on the 8s and other local info said by Mike Wolf:You know what I've been thinking about this topic all week and I've come to the conclusion that although I do wish to get the Local on the 8's in high definition, I certainly do NOT miss the computer voice cutting into the music played durinng the segment like is done on the standard definition version. If they could get rid of the damn voice in the HD version then this will be a good thing.
haha no the voice was not computer generated on the intellistar actually it was an employees voice that was working the weather channel back in 2002-2003 time frame.
The new intellistar uses Jim Cantore as the Intellistar 2 Voice AKA Weather Channel HD grapic overlay. |

| Your right. I know that the voices were recorded by TWC staff announcers Allen Jackson and Amy Bargeron, but what I meant by computer voice were the recordings themselves. »en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weatherscan
»en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_on_the_8s
»weatherchannel.wikia.com/wiki/Lo···n_the_8s
But still, I don't like the music being cut off, especially when they're good songs. At least with the national feed its a good solid 2 minutes of pretty visuals and uninterrupted music.

His voice is not good for that. He does not know how to tone down the drama in his voice when things are calm. He always seems to talk as if there were a weather crisis in progress. |
