- Can you elaborate on how they have different feeds to different parts
- of the country? I thought they only had a single satellite feed.
-
- On a related note, a few months ago somebody asked how the local forecasts
- show up on the Weather Channel on local cable systems. Does anybody know
- the details of how this is accomplished? Are the inserted forecasts set
- up solely between the local cable outfit and the Weather Service? Or
- are there any satellite transmissions involved?
