The IntelliStar 2 HD's graphical layout for the "Local on the 8s" segments features the product that is being shown at that time ''(see Current Products)'' in a main window on the left two-thirds of the screen, with The Weather Channel and "Local on the 8s" logos above it, attached to a box showing the name of the city and the current time. Below the main window and ad crawl is a small, rundown-like list of products currently being shown and expected to be shown (up to four products are listed); this list includes a progress bar that represents the length of the segment, filling the longer a product has been displayed. Next to the list is an icon related to the product being shown in the main window (for example, a thermometer for current conditions or a radarscope for radar loops). | The IntelliStar 2 HD's graphical layout for the "Local on the 8s" segments features the product that is being shown at that time ''(see Current Products)'' in a main window on the left two-thirds of the screen, with The Weather Channel and "Local on the 8s" logos above it, attached to a box showing the name of the city and the current time.

Since The Weather Channel began displaying weather data full-time on November 12, 2013, the Lower Display Line appears throughout during all programming (having been removed during commercials and long-form programming on all STARs previously; it continues to disappear entirely during local advertising breaks on many cable systems), while the sidebar is removed during commercial breaks. | ||
