Wasn't there also a text-to-speech voiceover of the local forecast text?

I would have sworn they would replace the music with a guy "reading" the forecast.

In large markets, some of the local broadcast stations have a dedicated digital channel that plays a local version of this. In my market, they have the digital voice reading the forecast.

There was a time when it was only prerecorded “The forecast for your area”

[dylan604]

For a time, you could call a phone number for the forecast. A lot of banks would tell you the time with one of their numbers.

This still exists in some cities. Albuquerque is one.
