Telex and later TWX were telephone based messaging systems that would transmit messages over phone lines. They had a limited character set, so lowercase characters were not implemented. The military and international messaging used the same technology. The printers received the message via phone lines and typed the message without operator input. Telex and TWX systems are still in use.

Too funny. The capitals from the Weather Service always seemed “over the top” and “too official.” Caps are the effects of the telegraph. Amazing history.

The TELEGRAM and CABLEGRAM were in all caps too

On January 26, 2006, Western Union stopped providing the service it became famous for: sending telegrams. The company officially got out of the communications business and shifted to financial services and money transfers. In 2005, the number of telegrams sent by Western Union was 1 percent of the number sent in 1929.

AS LONG AS THEY STOP USING BRIGHT GREEN LETTERS ON A BRIGHT GREEN BACKGROUND, it’ll be fine.
