For all of you who think you are seeing a master controlled segment, you are wrong. Well, you'd be right about it before TWC went HD... But not anymore.
When there is no full blown control room team, there is one person still in the control room running something called "Overdrive" by Ross...

One person controls audio, titles, cameras, switcher, EVERYTHING. Was just talking with Engineering and found TWC started using it 2 or so weeks after the HD launch.
It's kinda cool, since I now work at Ross ;)

So to clarify, "master control" doesn't exist at TWC anymore?
-
"master control" still does their normal duties like every other network, but they no longer produce shows.
This doesn't surprise me given how much the production quality went up when they went HD.
-
As said above... Master still exists, they just dont produce shows anymore, they do what master should do (which isnt produce shows). Now it's all done using Overdrive in the control room by 1 person, instead of master producing it.

I wonder if the same shows that used to be master controlled are now "Overdriven". My assumption would be "yes," but anything's possible.
