WSR-88D is supposed to be an S-Band radar system. Precipitation radars are X, C, S and L. Cloud radars are what we call K-Band and W-Band. So, for the last poster, I think you're referring to S-band rather than K-band. At one point, WLTX had their own live doppler on top of Lexington Medical Center, but to my knowledge has since done away with it. I would avoid putting that information into the actual article. While it serves as good advertising, it is misleading by making it seem that other television outlets do not have the capability to monitor weather as affectively. The closer location of the NWS WSR-88D actually helps Columbia as it's able to scan over columbia at a lower elevation. That lower elevation makes it more valuable for detecting tornado development. It will still show an accurate precipitation reflectivity over the Columbia area as well (the donut hole of silence is actually only about 1 nm in diameter, where downtown Columbia is approximately 5 nm from the radar tower. The only setback over the downtown Columbia area is that for analyzing purposes, the radar beam may not be able to scan high enough to see the upper part of the storm where the largest hail is located. For that, one must resort to the next nearest radar towers of KGSP and KCLX. The S-band radars give a good look at the upper levels of storms over the Columbia area. So from this standpoint, all levels of a storm over Columbia can be monitored by any station or any member of the public through an internet connection just as affectively as WIS. Promotion of such a thing, especially on an "equal" media such as Wikipedia, would not survive long before controversy arrises. Even promotion of that on the WIS-TV airwaves could cause controversy with other stations and even the NWS should they feel that their equipment and degree of service is being unrightfully downplayed. Television stations in other markets have gotten into pretty hot waters with NWS and their competition due to similar radar controversy in the past. Just something to be cautious of.
