I spy several previously unreported TGIDs in that video. Also a couple of sites that don't seem to be in the RRDB.

That would be because members here are not reporting new information to help the rest of us.

Curious what that late map in the video was depicting, the one with the pictograms near tower sites? (like the UT logo in Knoxville, Oak Ridge, , Chattanooga, and Tullahoma)

The one over Shelbyville is the Bedford County EMA logo. I’m curious as to what the UT logos are as well.

That is RadarOmega. You can get the paid app on Apple and Android but if you get a subscription you can have it on your laptop and desktops too along with other features. The UT System has weather stations and cameras from SDSWeather called CyclonePORT Weather Stations. They have one in Memphis, Martin, Pulaski, Nashville, Tullahoma, Chattanooga, Oak Ridge, and Knoxville. They use to have 2 in Knoxville but the 2nd one is down. The Knoxville one is on Neyland Stadium. Here is a link to a video about UT using the system:

. There is a lot of Public Safety (mostly EMAs) and weather groups across the state that use this system. The State EOC utilizes radarOmega too. This is a way less detailed platform (does not have much data) displaying the network: cycRad - Interactive Weather Toolkit. Some cameras are down due to power outages right now and the Roane County one runs off Solar. Some groups have switched to Weatherwise too from this product in Tennessee.
