Requirements for All Internal Pages w/ Primary Nav Page Description: This type of page includes all pages on the site EXCEPT the Home Page and except any page that lacks the Primary Nav component. This latter page type includes all Registration pages (e.g., Register on weather.com, 1-click Access, My Profile, Customize weather.com, and various product registrations), Store, and Jobs (see P. 36). Breadcrumbs: Please see P. 20 Tracking Strings: Certain internal page types will have distinct tracking strings for Global Nav, and the remaining internal pages will share a common tracking string. For the page components listed on the following page, tracking strings will follow this format: ?from=[component type]_[optional page type indicator]. Internal page types with distinct tracking strings are Channel Welcome, Channel Weather, and PIF/City pages (independent of Timeframe). “In Season” tracking strings will be defined based on the particular items in that menu, and these strings should be unique when a particular Channel can be accessed from more than one Secondary Nav item. For example, In Season might include a link to Cold & Flu during the winter months, which can also be accessed via the Stay Healthy Primary Nav category. In such a case, the In Season tracking string for Cold & Flu’s Secondary Nav might be “?from= SeasCold_gn_welcome”, while the Stay Healthy string might be “?from=gn_welcome” … “In Season” tracking strings will be defined when each version of this dynamic menu is defined. Maintenance of the In Season Secondary Nav items will not be done through an auto-publish, and we still need to identify who will maintain this list of items. Such maintenance will be defined in the Home Page to Beta project. In Season could include links to any page on the site. In Season’s Secondary Nav will require content management software back end to define Presentation Name (of link), URL, order of items. This could be changed as often as daily. The table on the next page defines tracking strings to distinguish between redundant access points. Global Nav to Beta Reqts: REALLY Final Version 2.1

Requirements for All Internal Pages w/ Primary Nav, continued • [10] Primary Nav • Please note that the target area for MouseOver and MouseOut should be easy to change so that we can adjust these targets to improve the users’ ability to control the cursor as they select a desired Secondary Nav item. This will be determined through informal usability testing in HTML/Development stage after the product is interactive enough to evaluate ease-of-use • APPEARANCE • the order and labels of the menu items are dynamic and could change as often as monthly through a Bugzilla with a QC test involved • We will need the ability to change the labels, grouping, and order of Primary and Secondary Nav items … though this won’t happen often, it will likely require an content management software back-end, and these newgroupings, labels, and orders will affect the following page components: • <TITLE> tag (e.g., Internet Explorer’s blue Title Bar at the top of every window) • Page Title • Footer • Secondary Nav • Primary Nav • What menu • There are new Channel Category groupings for Primary and Secondary Nav (see Pp. 25 - 28) • When the page first draws, one Category will appear as default (see the following NOTE for exceptions), but that Category's secondary menu will NOT be visible. • -- [NOTE: there are pages on which no Primary Nav Tab will be highlighted.

See comprehensive list of Page Types on Pp. 38 to 42.] • In Season • -- the items falling under In Season are dynamic and are intended to be used to promote calendar-based content or other content supporting a short-term high-priority business need • -- should have a content management back end to allow easy updates as often as dailiy Global Nav to Beta Reqts: REALLY Final Version 2.1
Requirements for All Internal Pages w/ Primary Nav, continued • [10] Primary Nav, continued • BEHAVIOR • onMouseOver: when user mouses over a new Category, the current Category remains highlighted … the new Category is also highlighted and its corresponding secondary menu appears, while the previously highlighted Category's secondary menu becomes invisible. • add tracking strings to detect MouseOver event, specified, respectively, as: ?from=mohome, ?from=moseason, ?from=moplan, ?from=mohood, ?from=motravel, ?from=mohealth, ?from=moaroundhome, ?from=moplay, • onClick: no effect [this is different from the current site's behavior] • onMouseOut: when user mouses outside the currently highlighted Tab, the highlight goes away unless the user moused on to the corresponding Secondary Nav menu • SELECTED STATE • when users are under a particular Secondary Nav category (e.g., Stay Healthy), then highlight the current Secondary Nav category's Tab • PRIMARY NAV TECHNICAL NOTES • The Fall Foliage Channel will only be available through In Season during the autumn season. • Channel names should be identical in portions of labels in Footer, Site Map page, Primary Nav, Secondary Nav, and What menu Global Nav to Beta Reqts: REALLY Final Version 2.1

Requirements for All Internal Pages w/ Primary Nav, continued:Secondary Nav notes SECONDARY NAV TECHNICAL NOTES • We cannot break the underlying Channel file hierarchy (it’s a pure hierarchy … each Vertical appears under exactly one Category) … if Channels appear under more than one Primary Nav area, then how can we highlight the Tab for the right Primary Nav area when the Channel could have been accessed from more than one Primary Nav area? Both In Season and Plan Ahead Categories could include Channels that are redundantly available, and within the underlying Channel file hierarchy, we should think of such Channels being located under Categories besides In Season and Plan Ahead • We must assume ads and the rest of page Bodies are the same on Channel Welcome pages representing the same Channel but accessible from more than one Channel Category. For example, page Bodies are identical for these two Channel Welcome pages: • In Season > Allergies & Pollen • Stay Healthy > Allergies & Pollen • the only difference between InSeason>Allergies&Pollen and StayHealthy>Allergies&Pollen is purely limited to highlighting Tabs and presenting the corresponding Breadcrumbs … if the user navigated via InSeason, then In Season Tab should be highlighted on the resulting Channel Welcome page, and the Breadcrumbs would read “In Season: Allergies & Pollen … similarly, if they came via Stay Healthy, then the Stay Healthy Tab will be highlighted on the resulting Channel Welcome page, and the Breadcrumbs would read “Stay Healthy: Allergies & Pollen • Note that if the user links beyond the Channel Welcome page, then the In Season Tab will NOT be highlighted and the Channels’ “permanent location” will be highlighted, and the Breadcrumbs will reflect the “permanent location” (in the case of Allergies&Pollen, Stay Healthy Tab is highlighted, and the Breadcrumbs read “Stay Healthy: Allergies & Pollen > xxx) • Same rules apply for the following Plan Ahead Secondary Nav item “Vacation & Travel Guide” • We must assume ads and the rest of page Bodies are the same on Channel Welcome pages representing the same Channel but accessible from more than one Channel Category. For example, page Bodies are identical for these two Channel Welcome pages: • Plan Ahead > Vacation & Travel Guide • Travel Smart > Vacation & Travel Guide • the only difference between PlanAhead>Vacation&TravelGuide and TravelSmart>Vacation&TravelGuide is purely limited to highlighting Tabs and presenting the corresponding Breadcrumbs … if the user navigated via Plan Ahead, then Plan Ahead Tab should be highlighted on the resulting Channel Welcome page, and the Breadcrumbs would read “Plan Ahead: Vacation & Travel Guide” … similarly, if they came via Travel Smart, then the Travel Smart Tab will be highlighted on the resulting Channel Welcome page and the Breadcrumbs would read “Travel Smart: Vacation & Travel Guide” • Note that if the user links beyond the Channel Welcome page, then Plan Ahead will NOT be highlighted and the Channels’ “permanent location” will be highlighted (in the case of Vacation&TravelGuide, Travel Smart is highlighted) • PLEASE NOTE: Similar logic applies to any Six Links items that are accessed via In Season … in this case, the In Season Tab should be highlighted on the landing page of the clicked Six Links item, and Breadcrumbs will read “In Season: [Six Links Title]” (e.g., “In Season: News > Hurricane Central”) … again in this case, if the user links beyond the Six Links landing page, then In Season will NOT be highlighted and the areas’ “permanent location” will be highlighted (in the case of Hurricane Central, the Six Links item “News” is highlighted) Global Nav to Beta Reqts: REALLY Final Version 2.1
Can we retain the user's current ZIP/location so they don't need to re-enter it when going from PIF/City to a Channel Welcome, HiRad, or other pages for that ZIP/location? • Examples include • going from PIF/City to HiRad … if Location is known, then go straight to a list of HiRad Locations (e.g., http://www.weather.com/search/hyper/30606?sloctype=19) for that HiRad Category and the current Location/ZIP • Typically, Secondary Nav would lead to Channel Welcome … in the case of HiRad, this would be something like “Parks in Your Area Welcome” (see P. 31) • if we know the Location, when the user goes via Secondary Nav to HiRad, then we would go straight to a list of Parks for that Location (see P. 32) and bypass Parks in Your Area Welcome • If we do not know the Location (as when the user is on Home, Channel Welcome, or Deep Vertical Article), when the user goes via Secondary Nav to HiRad, then we would go to Parks in Your Area Welcome with no Location in context • Going from PIF/City to Channel Welcome … pre-populate the Locator text box on Channel Welcome to reflect the ZIP Code of the current Location Global Nav to Beta Reqts: REALLY Final Version 2.1
Requirements for My Neighborhood Welcome Page On the current site, the user can only access HiRad content from the PIF page, in which case we know the users’ Location and can Immediately present a list of HiRad Locations for the current Location and HiRad Category. In the new Global Nav, users can use the My Neighborhood Primary Navigation to go to My Neighborhood when there is no Location in context (e.g., from the Home Page, Channel Welcome, or Article pages). In such cases, they would view this page. This page includes the Footer and includes promotional text (pending) to promote not only the current HiRad Category, but it also promotes TWC HiRad in general. [1] Users enter a City, ZIP, or other Location Type relevant to the current HiRad Category … they click Go to view the My Neighborhood Listing page (see P. 32). [2] link brings up our standard Help popup to be controlled by a content-management system, in which the following text appears: “HiRADTM (High Resolution Aggregated Data) technology. This groundbreaking advance in the synthesis of weather information will enable The Weather Channel to deliver a comprehensive and accurate weather report for 1,000 times more locations than previously available. For the first time, you can easily view neighborhood weather information for locations throughout the country that are most important to you, such as local schools, parks, golf courses and shopping malls. By delivering weather information for landmarks within a city (such as shopping malls, parks, schools and intersections) The Weather Channel fills a void left by traditional weather reports, which may be generated from stations separated by a distance of up to 50 miles. The new HiRAD technology was developed by a team of expert scientists from The Weather Channel. It carefully aggregates weather information from existing sensors (such as National Weather Service stations and others) and satellite and radar images and applies proprietary formulas to create an exclusive report that will reflect the actual conditions less than one mile away from any point of interest in the U.S.” 1 2 Global Nav to Beta Reqts: REALLY Final Version 2.1
Requirements for My Neighborhood Listing Page This page is the same as it is on the current site, only now we allow the user to choose a new HiRad Category from this page, and we will use the “without Primary/Secondary Nav” format for the banner area. This page does not have a Footer.

Requirements for TV Landing Page • Marketing needs an easy way to change the content on this page to meet their ever-changing promotional needs. We will require an content management tool front end to populate all attributes (e.g., Headline, Instruction, link labels and destinations) for items [2] and [7], and items [3] and [4] should be populated in an automatic fashion. • [NOTE: any time a Program’s title or thumbnail appear, the user can click them to go to a “detailed page” for that Program. If we have a clip for a program in the Video Player, then the user views this clip in Video Player. If there is no Video Player clip for the Program but there is a short clip viewable on the Schedule & Programs page, then the user views this clip in Schedule&Programs.] • [1] Secondary Nav • APPEARANCE • disable “What’s On” link and highlight it with a distinct border and background color … News pages will have this presentation of Secondary Nav added • BEHAVIOR • onClick: • go to TV page that corresponds to link clicked • disable and highlight the link for the destination page • enable and remove highlight for On-Air page • [2] Promotion area • APPEARANCE • Rotates through three possible images, highlighting and disabling the “1”, “2”, or “3” that corresponds to the current image … while rotating, the “Pause” button is presented • BEHAVIOR • onClick • Click 1, 2, or 3 to skip animation to that image … animation will continue to rotate • Click Pause to stop the animation • Click Play to restart the animation • Click image to go to a detailed page for that Program • [3] onNow and onNext • Image showing what is on immediately after onNext … this works like it does on the City Page … click the thumbnail to go to a detailed page for that Program • [4] onLater • Image showing a program that is on in some time in the future … click the thumbnail to go to a detailed page for that Program • [5] ZIP and Go button • User enters ZIP to get TWC Channels in that ZIP code area • [6] link to Program Schedule • click to go to TV’s Program Schedule page • [7] text links and dropdown/Go within Programs, Personalities, Blog, and Music areas: link to the page that corresponds to the label • [8] promoted videos’ information 1 8 2 3 4 5 6 7 Global Nav to Beta Reqts: REALLY Final Version 2.1

The following page attributes will now change each season: • All Channel Welcome header images • all Channel Welcomes will have their own header image, even those Channel Welcome pages on the current site that inherit their header from their Family (e.g., Allergies and Cold&Flu currently share the same “Health” banner) • TV’s and News’ Secondary Nav background color (both selected and unselected) • All Six Links items should have their own header image (Maps, Video, News, TV, Mobile, Downloads) Global Nav to Beta Reqts: REALLY Final Version 2.1
Requirements for Local Severe and Site Severe • Business requirements for Local Severe and Site Severe remain unchanged, with the following exception regarding Local Severe. On the current site, storm types other than Hurricanes (i.e., Thunderstorm, Tornado, Tropical, and Winter) have distinct header images depending on whether the storm is in Warning or Watch Mode. In the new design, header images for a storm type will be constant, and the storm Mode (Warning or Watch) will be distinguished using HTML text that floats on top of the shared header image. • There is no Headerspon in Alert Mode. • [NOTE: it is undetermined whether HugMe or other Hat content might be removed from the Hat during Severe conditions.] Global Nav to Beta Reqts: REALLY Final Version 2.1
