Great job. Thanks. Why the intermittant timed stop? Is it just to break it up since its a short clip? Like others have said, there are several projects recreating the old weather channel vibe, each with its own spin. And if you don't need current weather info, there are some good yt vids that play old clips with the music in the background.

The Weather Channel did (does?) a segment called "Local on the 8s," where it would play a brief local weather update like this one on time slots ending in 8, which this site replicates.
Got it. That also answers my question of "why 8 minutes?" Thanks.
