And now it's 30 years ago today that this was recorded... oh, those were the days when the WeatherSTAR 4000 was in use. Later on in the 90s both The Weather Network and MétéoMédia would have Christmas themed local forecasts (usually when it's a non-sponsored one) during the Christmas/New Year period for both the background and the music.

Where i grew up

:canadianmanenemy:

Nowadays, due to the Pelmorex cyberattack that killed the PMX-1500 in September of last year as shown here, they now use the PMX-XD pretty much everywhere including the Ottawa market. It's a real shame that the older units (PMX-1500, PMX-3200, PMX-NG, WeatherSTAR 3000 and 4000) have all gone away, but I guess we have to keep up with the times...

Welcome back! I will say to get a thunderstorm this early in the year is unusual, although they can occur at any month in your area. Then again, this winter has been a soft one with winters getting warmer on average as well as other seasons, compared to previous winters when you recorded The Weather Network/MétéoMédia back then.

Oh yeah. The good old days. Back when we used to have a transitway and the 95

Now in a storm?

It stormed so HARD!

A 15-year-old video of when a thunderstorm began. Wha...?

A loud thunderstorm... That was over 28 years ago.

16 years ago, there was a severe thunderstorm.

That thunderstorm was over 13 years ago! 2011 IT IS!

That 1992 thunderstorm? Wha...?

9:58 finally found the full 10 sec version of the Did You Know filler bumper. Gonna archive and use that one.

About a year later in 1991, Skyline Cablevision was sold to Rogers Cable, and it's been with Rogers Cable in the Eastern Ottawa market ever since then.

What's the name of the EarthWatch News intro at 7:14?

15:05 whats that music title? oldest music that i remember well! i was 10!!

Based on what I know, Toronto used a separate feed for viewers in the Greater Toronto area compared to the national and other feeds The Weather Network used... just like when MétéoMédia used a separate feed for viewers in Montreal versus the national feed the rest of Quebec got (mostly), parts of Ontario including Ottawa and New Brunswick, as well as the satellite feed nationwide. Looks like the Toronto feed got the PMX 1500 in 1996...

Brigitte Roussy was the presenter at the beginning of this video clip... by this point (going back to at least 1996 or so), I believe she was the main presenter for the Entretemps week-end show.

Just seeing how TWN utilized their version of the Weather Star 4000 intregues me.

I remember the filming of this forecast... Good times. Now I'm just a washed up signalwave artist. Oh how things change. 😔

I didn't know that this music was old. The first time I heard these songs was in 1997 on Public Access Channels.

I remember the ice storm disaster. My relatives lives outside of Ottawa and I worry for them, but I knew they were fine.

Also, MétéoMédia's local forecast theme that they used here goes all the way back to December 1996 when they launched the winter programming, albeit with different music when it was first used and with WeatherSTAR 4000, compared to the music played here (as in using this local forecast theme for 3 years pretty much). I think the satellite image and radar for MétéoMédia on their local forecasts came in to use either in late 1999 or sometime in 2000, as well as extending the local forecast to 1 minute and 30 seconds (if the latter wasn't done so in 1997-98).

And now fast forward 25 years later where yet another ice storm (albeit a spring ice storm) has blanketed the areas like it was in 1998. Lightning has now been struck twice...

I've been enjoying those music backgrounds featured on TWN & Meteomedia & I still have memories that I'm fond with. If you or anyone else reads this message I was wondering about the music. The first one is the Long Range Forecast intro shown/heard on the 6:03 mark & also the Travellers Forecast intro on the 14:42 mark. If anyone know what it is? Can anyone of you please help me out? Thank You very much.

Nice storm !!!!

My ice storm story is a bit different from others. I was home from college on break when this hit. My parents lived outside Saratoga NY, which was far enough south that temps never dropped below freezing. We had major flooding, but that was about it (the creek behind their house flooded BAD). Then I drove back up to Plattsburgh for the new semester a couple weeks later. I could not believe how many trees along I-87 had their tops snapped off. To this day, those thoughts still stick in my head about that storm.

My favourite was always ‘ceiling: unlimited’ Oh, the possibilities…

Fairly steep downhill spiral from here. They followed The Weather Channel's advertising template almost to the tee. Soon every segment is sponsored by a product, most of it is localized ad placements by their broadcasting hardware. Then the segments get shorter. More commercials. Thanks for archiving some of these. Watched a lot of TWN back in the day. In the 90s I only had basic cable and there was like 2-3 OTA channels.

This is the Weather Network that I know.

9:50 From the makers of MuchMusic...

Cetais ou cette fiesta la lol avec de la bonne musique en espagnol et tout Cetais ou ?

Le bon vieux temps 😢 mtn ils font pu sa lol

At 5:20 I remember Timmins still had the old STAR 3000, with a short term, long term, "Across the Region" with Toronto, Ottawa, London, Windsor, Slt-Ste-Marie" listings (instead of Kapuskasing, Slt-Ste-Marie, Sudbury, North Bay, Rouyn", and then a chart with some American locations. ON this video, it reminds me of when I visited North Bay Ontario, and wondered why the screen went "blank", as the graphic dissolved from the "Forecasts" listings to "Latest Observations" and lower display went blank. Was the graphics pre-programed like this? Or was the Technical director manually dissolving between 2 different graphics?

@10:47 wicked bump music. was this also De Wolfe?

WOW! Thanks for sharing this video. I sure remember Lila Feng and Gary Ryan. And I was moving to some of the jingles during local forecasts. I remember them well! (-:

Actually was on leave in Maine at this time. Left 22 July 90 to go back to Florida and deployment.

Steph! I can't even! That voice, genre and originality! Beautiful job all of you 💚 👏👏👏 Thank you for sharing your music and journey of growth.
