That looks like it's just the weather. In Calgary, in the 80s and 90s, there was a channel like that which also had a scrolling news feed from the Broadcast News agency. It also showed weather and live sports scores as part of the loop.

At the time, that was the only way to get live scores during the evening until the late news came on at 11, so you could switch over during a commercial break on the show you were watching and hope you caught the sports segment before you switched back.
