  • Weatherscan (originally called Weatherscan Local) is a TV channel offered by TWC. The channel is carried on select cable systems in the United States. The channel features uninterrupted local weather information, with graphics on a continuous loop. All content is produce by a computer @ the cable company's headend & unlike TWC, Weatherscan does not feature any OCM's of any kind. It uses a slightly-modified version of the IntelliStar weather information system used for the main TWC channel. However, unlike TWC's Intellistar, it uses different graphics, features some additional weather products & runs continously. A pre-recorded narration notes when several segments appear - including "Your Current Conditions", "The Local Doppler Radar" & "Your Local Forecast". The narration is not the same as TWC's local forecasts & uses a female announcer. Weatherscan is available in many top markets around the US, although it's availability is nowhere near that of TWC. Many cable headends only offer Weatherscan on their digital cable lineup, although a few cable headends also have the channel on their basic cable lineup. Verizon FiOS no longer carries Weatherscan or TWC as of March 10, 2015 at 12:00 AM, making both channels absent on one of the top 5 TV cable providers. Interesting to note, federal law requires that a cable system allows one to get certain basic cable (local broadcast channels & public, educational & governmental (PEG) channels) & digital service without subscribing to expanded service where TWC is often carried. Weatherscan can be seen on: * Most cable providers (ex. Time Warner, Comcast/Xfinity, Charter) Former availability of Weatherscan: * Verizon FiOS: Channel 49 (terminated March 10, 2015)
