Here's a link to a thread on posted by a a Canadian fellow who shared some screen captures of TWN from 1993, so you can see for yourself: IMO, the Canadian TWN WS4000s use a much better-looking, foundry-quality font (a swiss/ helvetica-looking one) for it's forecast screens, as opposed to the more computerish-looking font used by the American TWC WS4000/Weatherstar Jrs (although that font is also used by the TWN 4000s for severe weather warning scrolls). I'm not sure about Meteomedia, but I'd assume that they used the same, considering that TWN & Meteomedia are both owned by Pelmorex, which TWC here in the USA has a majority stake in, if I'm not mistaken. This would make sense to me, since the WS4000 unit was designed and manufactured for both TWC and TWN by none other than a Canadian company, Amirix, based in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
The Weather Network in Canada also used WS4000s, albeit programmed with their own fonts & graphics (of course) and weather data from Environment Canada. Yes, it certainly was, at least the WeatherStar 4000. Was this also used by The Weather Network (and MétéoMédia) with data from Environment Canada? – radiojon 02:38, 2005 May 20 (UTC) 7 Metro Map product is back on the STAR 2 xD.2 Weatherstars and The Weather Network.
