TWC produces a service, based on modified versions of WeatherStar technology, called Weatherscan on which a separate channel constantly displays local & regional conditions & forecasts along with TWC's logo & advertisements. For both cable & satellite viewers, smooth jazz music plays in the background during these segments. Satellite viewers see a roundup of local TWC forecasts for major cities across the US, as well as satellite & radar images & severe weather watch & warning maps when active.

TWC uses special proprietary equipment that inserts local weather forecasts & warning information if it's viewed on a cable TV system.
