Features
The Jr. had the same products and appearance as the III, but with the font of the WeatherSTAR 4000 and still displayed information from the National Weather Service (and from TWC since 2002) on blue, red, tan, or gray backgrounds. The Jr could produce a warning tone in the event weather warnings were issued with the help of the Weather Star Jr Audio Weather Alert Generator that produces DTMF tones. Many of the larger cable companies never used the Jr. or opted to replace it with the newer Weather Star XL or IntelliStar. Finding a working one today as of 2013 is extremely rare, very few small communities and independent cable providers still use the Jr. system, most others have adopted the 4000, XL or IntelliStar.

Famous quotes containing the word features:
“All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event—in the living act, the undoubted deed—there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask!”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“The features of our face are hardly more than gestures which force of habit made permanent. Nature, like the destruction of Pompeii, like the metamorphosis of a nymph into a tree, has arrested us in an accustomed movement.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“It is a tribute to the peculiar horror of contemporary life that it makes the worst features of earlier times—the stupefaction of the masses, the obsessed and driven lives of the bourgeoisie—seem attractive by comparison.”
—Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)
