- Weatherscan (originally called Weatherscan Local) is a TV channel offered by The Weather Channel. 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 produced by a computer at the cable company's headend and unlike its mother-network, Weatherscan does not feature on-air talent 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 and runs continuously. A pre-recorded narration notes when several segments appear - including "Your Current Conditions," "The Local Doppler Radar," and "Your Local Forecast. " The narration is not the same as TWC's local forecasts and uses a female announcer. Weatherscan is available in many top markets around the US, although its availability is nowhere near that of The Weather Channel. 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 currently carries the network on their limited analog lineup in all areas it serves, but is in the process of making their entire lineup digital. Weather scan analog signal is still active on Verizon fios. Interesting to note, federal law requires that a cable system allow a person to get just basic cable (local broadcast channels and public, educational, and governmental channels) and digital service, without subscribing to expanded service where The Weather Channel is often carried.
