THere was a blooper just now on the 8s where they were playing 2 songs at the same time! Then it just went to one. ItI saw/heard that one. Strange. :wacko:

Yah! I only heard that happen once before, a long time ago! It was pretty carzy!THere was a blooper just now on the 8s where they were playing 2 songs at the same time! Then it just went to one. ItI saw/heard that one. Strange. :wacko:

This thread was a good idea Gil! 8)Wow, for once something I did was actually a "Good Idea"!!! :o
Wow, imagine that.Yup, that rarely happens.
Can I get a time on this local???1:08 PM CT.
I wonder if they ever played the regular lf music for over 2 minutes? There used to be a J flavor for the WeatherStar 4000 or something like that.
Actually the J was the only three minute flavor, although it was sometimes called an LL flavor (if it was played at :10 and :40). The five minute N flavor was in use overnights through 1990, and there was actually a six minute O flavor that was used through 1988.I wonder if they ever played the regular lf music for over 2 minutes? There used to be a J flavor for the WeatherStar 4000 or something like that.
Yes, back in the 90's there were several three minute flavors (including the J), and even one five minute flavor (though it was short lived).
He probably got it from TWC Classics. :PYep. There's no way I could remember something from when I was 1. :lol:
Ah I see. The suns should be moons.Ah. At first I was like "I see nothing wrong there :huh:"
Same here. I also noticed that some places were 94 degrees while other cities were like 78 degrees. I thought that was an error.
It is probably due to the physical location of the cities. On the west coast, cities by the ocean typically tend to stay cooler than those cities inland.Same here. I also noticed that some places were 94 degrees while other cities were like 78 degrees. I thought that was an error.
I'm thinking that you might be right. Since the higher temps are with the cities that show the sun icon, it may be that the conditions being reported for those two cities were outdated.
Ah I see. The suns should be moons.Wait, shouldn't the moons be suns? Because, look at the time on the LDL, it says 5:28.
Yes. The sun should still be up at 5:28 (PM, I assume).Ah I see. The suns should be moons.Wait, shouldn't the moons be suns? Because, look at the time on the LDL, it says 5:28.
It is probably due to the physical location of the cities. On the west coast, cities by the ocean typically tend to stay cooler than those cities inland.You are correct. Scotts Valley, which is about a 10-20 minute drive from Santa Cruz, often has dramatically higher temperatures than Watsonville or Santa Cruz.
What time does everyone else's IS switch to nighttime icons?At sunset, currently at about 8:30 PM.
Mine is seriously messed up then. :wacko:What time does everyone else's IS switch to nighttime icons?At sunset, currently at about 8:30 PM.
My IS had a radar blooper earlier. For some reason, snow appeared on the last frame of the radar (we all know it can snow at 80 degrees :P), and because of that, the winter precip. indicators showed up under the radar titlebar. That's the last thing you expect to see in Florida! :DSame thing just happened to me last night...but it was 72 degrees, not 80. :p I'll have a video posted shortly.
At the top of the hour at 10 AM CT, they used a Weekend View lowerthird. Sorry TWC, it's not quite the weekend just yet. :PI saw that! lol
I saw that, but i didn't see the old logo. It didn't hve a logo on it at all.That's why I said it didn't have the old TWC logo. ;)
Whats Full controlled mean?It's the control room that produces certain shows, such as PM Edition, Your Weather Today, Evening Edition, etc. It is capable of a lot more effects than the master control room is, and the graphic quality and audio quality is much better than master.
At 4:00 PM CT they used the old PM Edition lower thirds (pre June 2007).
4:58 PM: Satellite LF. Haven't seen one in months.Where have you been!? They've been happening a lot out here.
I havent seen one since early July, possibly even late June.4:58 PM: Satellite LF. Haven't seen one in months.Where have you been!? They've been happening a lot out here.
They've now switched over to the normal PME Live tag now.So if we see show-specific Live tags (like those on PM Edition, EE, A&B, Weekend View), it means that show is full controlled?
BTW, AFAIK, master control can't use customized Live tags.
They've now switched over to the normal PME Live tag now.Sigh, yes Master can, they all come from a frame sync which can be frozen with ANY key.
BTW, AFAIK, master control can't use customized Live tags.
Sigh, yes Master can, they all come from a frame sync which can be frozen with ANY key.However, TWC doesn't seem to be using them anymore on master control for some reason. :no:
So if we see show-specific Live tags (like those on PM Edition, EE, A&B, Weekend View), it means that show is full controlled?Yes. However, sometimes (I've seen this happen on PM Edition and Weekend View), they will use the normal LIVE tag on a full controlled show. And, First Outlook, Your Weather Today, Day Planner, and Weekend Now do not use their specific live tags anymore, even though they're full controlled shows (except for the 12 PM CT hour of Day Planner).
Okay, fine, I should've said that they don'tThey've now switched over to the normal PME Live tag now.Sigh, yes Master can, they all come from a frame sync which can be frozen with ANY key.
BTW, AFAIK, master control can't use customized Live tags.
BTW, Kyle, do you know exactly what happened when Master Controlled shows upgraded their production capabilities (which is also when they stopped using custom Live keys)? Is this when they moved into the new (HD capable) Master Control room that was mentioned in several articles?I left in late 2005 so I am not too too current with what is happening or what has happend since then. Once I return back to Atl I will try to bring everyoneup to date with the happenings and exact workings of things.
Kyle, I think your misunderstanding. Your confusing can't with doesn't. It's not that they can't, its that they don't seem to. ;)I caught what was meant from that sentence later on down the road lol, but he did say
BTW, AFAIK, master control can't use customized Live tags.
Wow, that was confusing. :lol: :Plol.. sorry, I can simplfy it! :P
Was that one of the ones that reports the temperature and condition on the bottom line? Those are still in use, but they're used very rarely. I did see one at the top of the hour today and yesterday, though.Correct. Though I don't understand why they use the older lower thirds for that, because it looks like they could just use the current lower thirds to display the current observations. :unsure:
Today at 11:21 PM ET, they broke in with a Weather Update. Alexandra was doing the Weekly, Planner, then they showed the main desk with two empty seats, then, showed a live feed from Jim out in the field, then broke away to a blank Weekly Planner map.
After that, a blank screen came in for a minute or two.
Now during the commercial break, we see the main desk with people working in the background, and no audio. Getting this on tape...
Now we see Rich Johnson in studio...
Edit: Now hearing "Broad Street" by George Howard in the background, then it cut out.
Edit2: IS cut in after hearing WWCH promo and CC sponsor music.
Who is that guy: Carl or Rich?
And to possibly piggyback the previous, there was no opener at 9:00 for the double-E.
at the top of the 8:00 o'clock hour (CDT) one lowerthird during the teaser was cut off of the left side of the screen. i thought it was rather interesting.
the lower third was also displayed far lower than normal (in the area normally covered by the LDL).All lower thirds on full control have been doing that recently. However, on master control, the lower thirds display fine. :yes:

Sigh, lets think outside the box here.. What what the video / vis that was with the key?the lower third was also displayed far lower than normal (in the area normally covered by the LDL).All lower thirds on full control have been doing that recently. However, on master control, the lower thirds display fine. :yes:
I noticed that; but this particular lower third would have been completely covered by the LDL had it not been off since it was the top of the hour.
I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, but I take a stab at it and say that the L3 was a part of a pre-made teaser package in editing.Close, I mean like what was behind the key? A video? If so, what video? What was the video of?
Probably just a coincidence, but fitting nonetheless. :PYeah, all scheduled employees have today off, its filled with people on contract.
Dwight (AKA Awesome Master Control operator) appears to have this Easter Sunday off, and it really shows. There have been numerous production slip-ups during this broadcast, including just a few seconds ago. When they came back from break, the camera went to Kristina, who had a deer-in-the-headlights look and said "Okay" to the master control operator before finally acknowledging that she was on the air.
Who winds up getting the grunt work of working behind the scenes today?People who are on contract, not full employees.
At 1:20 AM ET, when going to Rich Johnson after LF, the Weather Update/severe weather lower third displayed.
They always do for the first hour of PME Weekend. I take it you don't watch TWC weekend shows much?I do sometimes, but before they switched to the big desk I didn't really pay attention to those things. ;)
Did anyone see what happened at the start of EE? They started about a minute early, and it apparently did not start as planned. It stayed at the black screen for several seconds, then went to an emergency Sat LF for about 30 seconds, and then the EE opener/teaser played.Yep. :yes: I got it recorded.
Video please?I'll get it uploaded hopefully sometime tomorrow when I've got a faster internet connection.
Video please?
I'll get it uploaded hopefully sometime tomorrow when I've got a faster internet connection.
At 12:52 AM ET, Adam showed a graphic for the Boston Marathon and the temperature wasn't updated on the graphic so it just displayed a dash where the temperature should've gone. Also the LIVE tag appeared during that graphic for some reason.
At 3:06 PM ET on Weather Center, before going to break, they used the Day Planner one-line lower third.They did it again today at 3:36.
at the end of weather center at 2:55..kristina abruptly said (apparently she thought the commercials had already started) "did i screw you (audio fades) up..."
hahaha. i thought it was pretty hilarious :lol:
At 7:20 AM ET on Weekend View during the Weekly Planner, the maps were entirely blue. I got a screenshot of it; I'll upload it later.
At 12:49 AM ET, they showed a Global Forecast opener, then cut to a desk shot where Kristin should've been sitting, but there was just an empty chair. Then a few moments later they went to a map of Europe.
Did everyone else's LF run despite the LDL being on? On DirecTV SD, the LF LDL overrode the regular LDL.Yes, and the national LDL came right back on immediately after the LF.
Yeah, it was running underneath the LF. Surprised that didn't cause chaos.
Not exactly a blooper, but a funny moment... Mike Bettes said he was feeling a bit hot, so Mike Seidel came around and pointed a fan at Bettes' head.
And to explain the new Daylight Saving Time rules in 2007, Mike Seidel came into Dave and Warren's broadcast holding a clock that he took off the wall.
I saw no maps on the Satellite LF with the county lines. :huh:On the Watches/Warnings map? When the map has to cover a larger area, like tonight, the map zooms out and the county borders disappear.
Oh. But I usually see them use the maps zoomed out with the county lines like yesterday.I saw no maps on the Satellite LF with the county lines. :huh:On the Watches/Warnings map? When the map has to cover a larger area, like tonight, the map zooms out and the county borders disappear.
It all depends on how far the zoom out is. The map would get way too busy if they kept all the county borders there.Oh.

Durning the weekly planner on your weather today, this morning @ 9:20-9:22 AM ET, the showed Raleigh, NC's Highs @ 0F or 1F for the high, but marshall pointed out that actually 0F is 100F, & 1F is actually 101F.That seems to be a bug in the Viz|Weather systems that they need to work out; it happened a few other times this week, too.
Kevin Robinson was just about to make an apparently off-color comment about turkeys in a turkey farm that was destroyed by a tornado. He quickly stopped himself and said, "You know what, there's probably some animal lovers out there; I better not say what I was going to say."
You bet there's animal lovers out there, Kevin!
Is it just me, or was Jorma's 10:30 update completely audioless for us, but had clear audio for the OCM's?Probably. I believe Jorma's mic was going bad during one of his other live reports earlier in the morning.
I didn't quite catch the whole segment, and I am pretty sure this was at 12:50 CT..or 11:50, during the tropical update, Rich couldn't forward the map, so they brought Sharon in the picture, and showed the trade-off of clickers.Here's how I remember it happening: They had Rich up at the left video screen, then he stepped out of the picture, and then at that point they went to a wide shot where the entire projection wall was in picture, and you could see Sharon giving the clicker to Rich in the center.
I'm not sure if they already had the camera zoomed out..b/c as I mentioned, I didn't catch the whole segment, only the tradeoff..
At 3:40 PM ET, it looks like the lights at the chroma key were way too bright for a minute or so. Everything was washed out and for the rest of the segment Vivian took a step off the screen, even though it looks like they lowered the level of the lights.
They played the 2003 Weekly Planner opener at 6:20 AM ET.And the 2003 Travel Opener at 6:40 AM ET.
During the Weekend View teaser at 6 AM CT, Julie Martin called WV Your Weather Today.That happened again at 10 AM ET.
The scroll for a severe thunderstorm warning earlier, for some reason, was showing a gap where the letter 'a' was suppose to appear :wacko:That seems to be an IntelliStar bug/issue/problem that a few people have been having.
What in God's name is The Weather Channel doing?I think that was supposed to happen, because Forecast Earth is now airing in HD for HD viewers (according to Spring Rubber), and it is letterboxed for SD viewers. It's possible for them to have used a non-HD ready shot in FE, which would result in the pillar boxes to be shown.
Forecast Earth had just wrapped up yet another re-airing of yesterday's latest episode,
the standard definition feed showed the program in a smaller screen format where the two side panels
you'd see for any programs shot in SD on the HD feed. The side panels are in the light green color
with the glowing white HD logo on them. The new blue LDL remains properly proportioned on the SD screen.
Are they kidding me?! Nice way to tease those viewers that don't receive TWC HD!

Paul, the attitude isn't necessary. I'm not Matt or Tyler, I don't play favorites. You'll be out of here just as fast as anyone else would be.
No one noticed it, but here it goes:
At the start of the 8 PM ET Hour of A&B on June 2, 2008; at the beginning of the show, mike said "Check your local..Uh..Dealer" then later he said "Dealer?...Guess it has to do something by car", then he said it normal, "Check your local listings"

Dear robotic camera operators for Sharon's screen,
Zoom out!
Thanks,

No LDL Fridays are back tonight!It happens on Saturday nights as well. I guess it likes to take a vacation on these nights. :P
Even full control is messing things up - on the two person lower third used at the top of the hour, Dave's name read "Dave Schwartz Schwartz".That happened again tonight, except with Warren Madden.
A minute ago, they used an EE side graphic displaying information on protecting your house during a hurricane. Of course, it was only useful to HD viewers. :rolleyes:Yeah, those tips involving "Storm shutte" were really useful.
During the Weekly Planner temps at 8:20ish CT during YWT, one of the temperature marks said "0"I've seen that happen a few times before with the new Viz|Weather systems.

But are they showing the weekly planner?They just showed the wrong opener, so yes, the Weekly Planner aired as normal. ;)
No LF opener played at 1:48 AM ET. It went straight to the LF after the local ad inserts.I noticed that. Also every commercial after they go to break seems to skip in the beginning.
Also every commercial after they go to break seems to skip in the beginning.I noticed this too. I was thinking it was just my tuner acting up, but I guess not.
And speaking of skipping, the audio during the the current 1:58 AM ET LF is skipping a lot.The LF cut off in the second to last screen.

Erm...Wrigley Field isn't in Austin, TX, EE crew...... (9:14 RoadCrew segment)
They started off WWC with Evening Edition music, but they quickly switched it to the WC music. Also, after the opener, the two-person lowerthird called Carl Cheryl Lemke. :huh:
I'm trying to figure out if WWC is still master controlled or if it's back to full control. The production values seem better than they used to be, but of course, that doesn't tell us anything for sure.It definitely was full controlled last weekend. :yes:
At 6:10 PM CT, they played the Storm Alert: Hurricane Bertha opener.Got a video of it? :whistling:
Now we know that the Storm Alert theme music uses a warped version of the normal Tropical Update signature designed to sound more "disastrous" along with a darker sounding theme overall.
The "Storm Alert" text is even more obscure than the previous package; it only appears inside the text that flies around at the start of the opener, but the hurricane's name is in red instead of yellow.
It just aired again. Were you watching?Airing at 8:10 PM ET? If that was it, then, yes, I saw it.
BTW, I can get an SD video off the DVR buffer if it's still working.
Yep, I'll still post a video later, though.Thanks... because I didn't see it. I assume the SA opens were cued by mistake?
At 6:10 PM CT, they played the Storm Alert: Hurricane Bertha opener.are you sure this was a blooper and not intentional?
OK, sorry for changing the blooper topic, but for the EEWC sponsor screen (and maybe EE too), PM Edition teaser music is used. :huh:It's not specifically used for just the teaser - it's part of the entire PME package. Also, all the morning shows use the same sponsor screen with YWT music, WC and PME use the same sponsor screen with WC music, and A&B and EE use the same sponsor with PM Edition music.
A&B uses it too? I thought it uses the daytime one? :unsure:Whenever I saw A&B use the sponsor screen, it was the EE one. :yes:
That's odd, because it uses the same lower thirds as WC/PME right? If so, then it should use the light blue sponsor graphic as well.IMO, A&B should use the EE lower thirds (they have on some nights but they just go back to the daytime lower thirds a day after), because the A&B colors are mainly dark blue, and the EE lower thirds match that color more. :yes:

This inexperienced Master control crew for Weekend Outlook just had a big failure. When trying to go to Ray at the key wall, they instead switched to a yellow screen saying "Server Parse in progress, please wait." and Ray's mic failed to work. They switch over to Titan radar fairly quickly, but his mic still wasn't working. Since Cheryl's mic was still enabled, you could hear her whispering, "I don't get it," and then you could hear someone else in the room tell Cheryl that Ray's mic wasn't on, so Cheryl told Master, "Can someone turn his mic on? Ray's mic's not on." Video to come tomorrow.
It's PM Evening Edition Weather Center, obviously. :PAre you sure it's not "PM Edition West Coast Weekend"? :fear:
then the pre-recorded teasers cut inThat was a live teaser. ;)
Anyone else's LDL been on during the past two commercial breaks?Yep.
Blooper? They just used a storm alert-sounding opener for Dolly at 12:10 AM ET.Is this the same Storm Alert opener that was played about a week ago (I forget what that one looked like)?
They played a very extended cut of thetropicalSevere Weather music at 7:10 AM ET. In fact it lasted so long, the music looped through almost twice.

At 10:50 AM ET, I think Eboni called Dave "Dave Shorts." :rofl:Haha, reminds me during the Dave/Bob duo... "Schwartz on Sports... sell some shorts!"
since about 1:56pm EDT the Weather Channel Feed has been Going black and is trying to recover the picture back but then seconds later my tv turns black again :dunno: I'm surprised they didn't put the emergency feed on yetI'm seeing TWC just fine.

I believe Mike Seidel was being sarcastic about that. TWC is well air-conditioned, I would assume.
At 11:40 AM ET, they started to play the Day Planner Travel opener, then it cut out after a second to black, then a picture of the US Capitol flashed on screen, then they cut to Kevin at the wall.I heard that from the couch; I was falling asleep. I couldn't stay awake for all of the DP HD premiere the way I planned. :dunno:

I'm doing the same ;)
Yeah, the last hour of Day Planner is using the same studio setup as Weather Center; I wish they would at least use the DP colors for the show, but I guess they're no interested in doing that. I don't know why they don't just call that hour "Weather Center" since that's pretty much what it is.
The beginning of the 10 AM ET hour of Day Planer was really shaky to say the least. The pre-recorded teasers seemed like they were put together in a minute, and then the music in the teasers didn't line up with the opener. The jib camera was terribly shaky and then when they got to the desk shot it was really off-center with the desk.I've noticed the jib has never been 100% of its jibby-ness :P I've always wanted a reason to say that. Ha.
Nice "Hurricane Hanna" opener there, TWC. :PI saw that too! i was about to take a screenshot of it.
Hey, it's the Weekly Planner with "-'s Forecast"!There were also numerous dashes on the Travel forecast maps at 2:10 PM ET.
During the teasers for the 12 AM ET hour of EEWC, Rich's mic was not turned on.A true teaser ;) Haha
EE started out with the EEWC opener @ 9PM ET.Full control always seems to use that opener whenever they air it live.
Looks like Heather got a little confused there at the end of the last segment. She began to call the show Your Weather Today, but "corrected" herself and called it Day Planner. :P
Nick just mentioned how the temperatures are low compared to average according to the "First Outlook Desk".Haha, yeah he said that at the 4PM hour that day too, then he corrected himself and said the Forecast Earth desk.
LOL, wrong show that you used to host, Nick!
That reminded me a lot of that VTR error during the EEWC repeat on July 4, 2007 when it had those green, black, and white bars doing through the video throughout the whole hour, taking down the network for several minutes at a time.It made the EXACT same noise. :yes:
They played the First Outlook (normal) intro music for the YWT Weekly Planner opener at 6:20 PM CT.That's actually normal on pretty much every day except Friday, where they play the special YWT segment opener music.
8:10...I just flipped over, but it looked (and sounded) like they played the Abrams and Bettes bumper during YWT. :wacko:
Wow, they began EEWC with a Tropical Storm Kyle transition graphic. O_othe opening and first segment have been uploaded: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rd6ooMHu9Jc&fmt=18
I guess it's like, "gee, this is only going to repeat once tonight, so why not screw up."
Rich and Sharon both also slurred their words and invented some new words in the first segment.
From Rich:
"AHeadVit" = Ahead of it

At 1:08 PM CT, they played 2 LF openers one after another for some reason. :wacko:They did the same thing yesterday at this time. Something bad must have been programmed in Master Control.
Can ya be more descriptive? What KIND of audio issues?Betty's mic not working.

TWC sent the detailed LDL code during EE overnight.wait... what? that makes no sense o_O what detailed LDL code?
The code for the IntelliStars to display the LDL that has the Almanac, Travel, Air Quality, etc. for WWCH and stuff.Ever since June 2nd, the IntelliStar has had only one LDL. The special long-form LDL with all the extra info was made into the standard LDL for all programming.
Ever since June 2nd, the IntelliStar has had only one LDL. The special long-form LDL with all the extra info was made into the standard LDL for all programming.Yes, but during weekends and middays the traffic crawl only displays incidents and not trip times (unless if the route is slow). Also I don't think the airports display all day.
When Kelly was talking, the music on the Weekly Planner was loud that you couldn't hear her. Sounds like they forgot to turn the volume down for the opener. Kelly was laughing at that.LOL. I heard that three times (TV, Tuner, Stream :P)

I can't believe they would seriously use OverDrive for their #1 rated program Weekend View.Woah! Lets not say things we can't take back :P

Yet again, Carl has gotten into another coughing fit on EEWC, and he gave up the segment a minute early, leaving us with a minute-long serenade of EE music while the maps progressed through full-screen.
On a lower third, they just displayed Tom Moore's name as "Moore, Tom". They quickly took it down afterward. My question is: how did they even make that mistake in the first place?Apparently there are no "I can answer that!" images on google... Grr...
Normally, it might fit, but I don't think A&B airs on weekends. Or does it?:no:
A&B graphic to start of the 7 PM CT hour of EE. :huh:
Commercials just interupted A&B...
so the subsequent LF had the freezing issue that results from having the LF running over the LDL, and it didn't get better until the LF shut off over 30 seconds into the next A&B segment.My LF ran perfectly fine with the LDL behind it. :yes:

whenever you post pictures (i can only assume in hd?) they never come out clear on my computer. :pinch:They aren't very clear here, either. :no:
It's because he's watching the HD feed through his Slingbox, so the screen shots he takes are of the HD feed, but of poor quality because its coming from the Slingbox.My Slingbox's picture quality is good and it's not HD. Must be an issue with his internet connection....the slower the stream the image gets pixely.
They used the Weekend Outlook opener at the beginning of Sunrise Weather today. They also used the dark blue EE L3rds throughout Sunrise Weather and Weekend Outlook.

Someone must've been asleep this morning. :P
I guess they were giving it a final hurrah.No, because it will also air tomorrow (that will be it's last time). ;)
I guess they were giving it a final hurrah.LOL! :rofl2:
I can see the Adam Berg one though: "In other news, gang, a large Weather Channel graphic cloud is hovering over central California, dumping letters that appear to spell my name. Too bad it is not Chooseday!"
They just used a morning lower third to display the forecast for St. Louis.Oh that's not the only thing they fucked up... well not massively... See attached image for fail!
Was that an LDL on the video wall??? :blink: :blink:that LDL is a template file to make sure all the text/pictures appear unblocked. Alex acted casual and presented normally..
Did Alexandra say anything when she say that? :wacko:

it's just a still image on the map. Note the original June 2008 design on the image on the wall.

"FOLLOW JIM ON TWITTER:

:huh:
Also, at the start of the Weekly Planner, they didn't use the Weekly Planner intro... oh no, the title card definitely said PM Edition! [url]http://g.imagehost.org/download/0740/wcwc-wp-PME[/url] ([url]http://g.imagehost.org/download/0740/wcwc-wp-PME[/url])
This vortex was nice!That's odd.. There should have been a warning that said something along the lines of "This xpt cannot be selected as it will cause a feedback loop on air!" Suppose that's something to look in to.
Hmmm...it seems the camera being shown on the video wall isn't the same one that's on the air. The camera on the video wall looks to be the track-mounted camera on the ceiling. :hmm:Yeah - it is a different camera, however there is a "smart" system incorporated with OverDrive, the system is programmed to know that certain aux buses are on studio screens (seen by a camera that is on air) so basically, when the camera was selected to be displayed on the wall, the system should have been able to detect that the selected crosspoint (TracKam), and the intended destination (Video Wall) would create a feedback loop.
Weather Center opener transitioned out to green at 9 PM CT.Seems they used the opener as a source instead of a key.
Stephanie pronounced Chile incorrectly ("chi-lay" instead of "chee-lay").
They just used the A&B Weather Center opener to start the 10pm hour of Weather Center.
Uhhhh..... Did I hear Mike Sidel call Weather Center Weekend View? :unsure:you heard correctly. :blink:

Betty: "Now it's time for the Planner, so here's...well, the prompter says 'Kelly', but you're not Kelly! I know that! You're Adam!"
Adam: "Betty's been picking on me all day, everybody. You know, I need a way to get her back. I need your tweets! I need some good ideas here, everybody."
At the 8:30 AM PDT segment when Mike Seidel is live at Chicago
Mike: This is Mike Seidel reporting live from the Red Sox
White Sox Sr. Director: White Sox!
Mike: Oh I am sorry! White Sox! There are so many sox's out there!
:rofl2:
Overnight: PME graphics and EE lower thirds during Weather Center!?
I now hear that it indeed became PME. But if it's PME, use the PME lower thirds!
The HD Left Display Area (LDA) is currently on the SD feed of the 2 AM ET WCWC rebroadcast.
More botched data, this time from TWC through the XL+ stream...
When data expires....hyphens are in the forecast, with a dash of dashes expected the week prior.That's nothing new. :no:
They ran footage from Raleigh on the overnight Weather Center from "WCNC-TV". WCNC is in Charlotte; they might have intended WNCN.That doesn't sound like a blooper to me. Screenshots? :noexpression:
The same thing happened with a Broadcasting and Cable article yesterday where they talked about KVNV as KNVN (which actually is a television station).
Did that PM Edition opener just freeze like crazy? :blink:Same thing happened at 4:00 PM CT.
Old 2008 tropical music played with the tropical update opener at 4:50 ET this morning.I think Steve's said it normally plays on the AM shows.
I think Steve's said it normally plays on the AM shows.From the clips I have it only seems to play on First Outlook.
The screen keeps turning all blue at random moments right now during DP. It did it a few times during a slap chop commercial and then while Adam was at the wall it did it and when it came back he was like "whoa!"See this post (https://twctodayforums.com/forums/index.php/topic,32.0/msg,107840.html). :thumbsup:
Do you have a screen capture of that? It would be interesting to see...and bring back those memories!

maybe that B should be turned into an F for graphic fail. :bleh:That was not the only fail - the next graphic shown after this displayed 98° for all dayparts.
At 12:00 AM this morning, the Weather Center intro used PM Edition intro music!That WAS the PM Edition opener. PM Edition airs in the overnight hours on weekends.
The bug and L-bar are appearing in the wrong place during Full Force Nature.
TOTPD! :dance:
Sorry for the double post, but just now at the end of Day Planner and through the commericals, the screen on the HD feed only was completely screwed up. :blink: It kind of looked like a jumble game where you re-arrange the pieces to make the whole picture. :wacko: Did anyone else see this, or was it just my TV? :dunno:Wow, and I was just in front of my TV moments ago before this happened with TWC HD on. :(

They just showed the March Mess bumper from back in March going to a local forecast at 5:48am ET :blink: :blink: :blink:
Are you sure it's weekend now music? The wv and wn music tracks sound similar in tune but have distinct differences...Not sure it stopped so quick, but it kinda sounded like the WP theme for one of those shows. :thinking:
anyone think that these issues maybe be due to the possible graphic overhaul TWC is scheduled to get sometime soon?It's not going to be until at least spring 2010 or later.
i mean, it doesn't make sense, but it's a theory?
I never knew Arizona's abbreviation changed to AR (and yes, I know for sure this is the Flagstaff in AZ)Wow! You were 2 steps quicker than me! I just came in to post something about this. And, having just moved from Phoenix, I do know they were talking about Flagstaff, AZ.

anyone catch the split screen fail this past hour with chris warren? :rofl2:
Geez, if I had a nickel for everytime there was a technical FAIL on this network, I would be a billionaire by now, they had a really nasty one during the first hour of YWT this morning on the teaser, the audio/video feed froze about 3 times before they decided to abruptly cut it off and cue to Mike & Jen.
For some reason, for the past couple of hours on YWT, the LDLs at the top and bottom of the hour have been cueing immediately, instead of the normal 1 minute delay.This seems to be normal now for the new ldl.
For a brief second before going to break at 5:05pm, they showed a WV weekly planner graphic.Are you sure it was WV? I thought I saw the WN colours? :unsure:
Nope, that was WV. WN's weekly planner opener has lowercase letters.For a brief second before going to break at 5:05pm, they showed a WV weekly planner graphic.Are you sure it was WV? I thought I saw the WN colours? :unsure:
Whoa, after the LF... it looks like the video wall popped up, with TWC [HD] in the middle of it. After about 15 seconds, it goes to another 20 seconds of Trammell.
Indeed it is. Sorry I didn't reply, and thanks for the screenshot. I caught a clip of it in the E.L.Whoa, after the LF... it looks like the video wall popped up, with TWC [HD] in the middle of it. After about 15 seconds, it goes to another 20 seconds of Trammell.

Heather, who is Dr. Steve Forbes again? :rofl:lol, she's done that a lot. I remember her calling him Steve during Hurricane Wilma coverage.
I don't get it... what am I supposed to be looking for?The LDA is on, but the feed is still 16:9 behind it, not squeezed into 4:3, like what's supposed to happen when the LDA is on.
That's a common error on all domestic IntelliSTAR's. One time all of the "T's" were replaced with small "4's".........all meaning just yours. realize, it's not always ALL of them.
"4HE NA4IONAL WEA4HER......."
Just recently tonight, during the part of the show where they show just the precip they had one of the names read "LABEL" instead of "SUNNY" or "SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS"
One time last weekend, all the O's were missing on my metro map.I've seen many cases where letters are missing or partially missing (take for example Grand Led_e and East Lansin_ on my 8 city last January)... but the metro and regional maps I have not seen it on.
That looks like that would've been fun to watch their reaction to.Just recently tonight, during the part of the show where they show just the precip they had one of the names read "LABEL" instead of "SUNNY" or "SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS"

Dave Schwartz would have spent the whole rest of the segment going on a tangent about the mistake.
I miss Dave :(
I was not aware "critized" was a word...Also a fail on the "LIVE: BP OIL SPILL" box. Titan HD ≠ BP oil spill.
They actually switched it to the oil spill cam just a couple of seconds after I took that snapshot. But yeah, you're right.I was not aware "critized" was a word...Also a fail on the "LIVE: BP OIL SPILL" box. Titan HD ≠ BP oil spill.
During the 11:30 AM ET segment of DP, they showed an old Projected Path graphic with hurricane watches and warnings on the Florida east coast (the path looked like it was from Andrew in 1992, I think). Heather quickly skipped by the graphic after realizing that it wasn't the correct graphic.

Right. It was just a graphic used to show the "weekend outlook" or weather...I didn't know Weekend Outlook was still a show. :PThat's definitely NOT a blooper.
Pardon my double post, but they just used the 2006-2010 icons on a graphic showing the Atlantic City, NJ 5-day forecast.Ironically, I missed that. Did you take a picture of this?
Now when Alexandra was showing the national forecast for the next few days, just about all the labels said "LABEL". On the Wednesday map all but one said "LABEL" She even noticed it! :rofl2: She thought the computer producing the labels had a problem.

Yesterday, Mike Seidel was reporting from Memphis but at one point they showed him reporting from Memphis at night (it was dark behind him, the city lights were glowing) when it clearly shouldn't be because it's still daytime in the US.Was this during the WUWA repeat? The sun hadn't risen yet during the original airing of WUWA.

It all depends on what goes better with the current graphics set really.pre-March 2010 icon sets are used for select graphics on the network, and will probably remain unchanged, so don't be surprised. The WC/YWT 5 day forecast graphics still use the old ones, because, well, it looks better on them.
It does seem to be a challenge to get one unified graphics set and stick with it, doesn't it? Heck, even the WeatherStar 4000 had two sets of weather icons - one for current conditions and extended forecasts and one for regional maps and the "Today's/Tomorrow's Forecast" line on the LDL.
Hmmm, I thought Philadelphia was in the Northeast..... :thinking: WHOA! Look at that temperature contrast! That must be one STRONG cold front!There is, indeed, a Philadelphia, Tennessee, howevere not where the bullet is pointing to on the map, as it's more in the middle of the state, and it's certainly not 32 degrees there today. That bullet is clearly pointing to Memphis.

((("TWC - With New Map-Bar?"))) ([url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HE5Mv4Xg7-o#[/url])Looks like they cued up the wrong source for the big LDL...
Happened yesterday thanks to Javier to uploading.
At 4:41 PM ET, when showing an infrared satellite of Hurricane Earl, the label on Hispaniola said "Haitii."
It was spelled "Haitii" with two "i"s at the end.At 4:41 PM ET, when showing an infrared satellite of Hurricane Earl, the label on Hispaniola said "Haitii."
Well, Haiti occupies the western tip of Hispañola, :)
On the 7 PM hour of WC, a lower third said that Earl was currently a Category 4 hurricane. :blink: But it's currently just a cat 3.On Wednesday Night, when Earl was a Cat 4, one of the bars said: Catagory 5.
On the national SD LDL, the temperature for the Saturday forecast is missing for all cities.Viz is updating the forecasts
Just a few minutes ago, there was a long black screen and I think it went to a Trammel feed before going to the regular LOT8's with a different song. I'm not sure, since I don't recognize Trammel Starks music. Was it Trammel?
Sorry for this late post. I've been away for a few days.Wow, Philadelphia is a major city everywhere now! :o
The 60 second forecast was having issues overnight Aug 31st. In the northeast/upper midwest 32° reports cropped up in 3 Philadelphia locations and one at ... San Diego, MI?
On the southern map, looks like an early season arctic outbreak is heading to the Gulf region at 3 more Philadelphia locations plus Houston. :brr:
anyone else seeing the lowerthird failure on PM Edition right now? Something appears to be wrong with the top solid color bar at the top, it's not transparent. (usually you can see "PM Edition" -or- (show name) scrolling to the right)I think the 16% LDL is staying for a while as those new L3rds are basically a small version of the 33% L3rds used on a normal PME broadcast
if that makes sense.
pics: first two...solid black bar across the top of the lowerthird.
last two...the top solid black bar should have transparency applied so that "PM Edition" can be seen. (it is not)
During When Nature Strikes Back, there was no ad on the LDL, and a WC L3rd cued for a few moments. I only have pictures of the ad-free LDL, because the picture of the WC L3rd turned out horrible, and I deleted.Isnt that supposed to happen when a L3rd comes on? :wacko:
At the beginning of the 1PM hour of Weekend Now, Heather said "And I'm Heather Today, uh, Tesch. And I'm Heather today too. :P"She must have been thinking "Your Weather Today." since she's been filling in during YWT a few times this past week. :P

Anyone notice that thing that happened on the SD feed at 9:29 pm Eastern? The local on the 8s went to the usual last part (west coast radar) then Nicole in front of the Greenscreen and looked like the lights were off in the studio, then it went to back to the 3day local on the 8s forecast. That was really strange since the lights were off. :thinking:I didn't see that.
Oh, well the cue from lo8s to the camera lasted for about long enough for her to say "Hi, I'm meteorologist Nicole Mitchell, then it went back to lo8s.Anyone notice that thing that happened on the SD feed at 9:29 pm Eastern?

Also, a few weeks ago, the SD national LDL failed to cue.
I am recording and the video will be up shortly.Exactly. Better than how I said it. I never knew they turned the lights all the way off in the studio.
What happened:
The local forecast ended.
It was time for a weather update, but obviously they weren't ready. The lights were off and nothing was being keyed out.
They then abruptly cut off Nichole (who was talking like nothing happened) and went to Trammell.
Trammell lasted about 15 seconds, before going to Cantore Stories.

TWC Blooper - January 15, 2011 - 8:28PM ([url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujZjpiOSNDU#[/url])
Also, one of my DirecTV receivers has timing issues with its LF. Sometimes, it'll cue early; other times, it'll cue late. When it cues early, it's usually by a split second; a few times, it's cued in the middle of a commercial! :oThose are not uncommon ;) as for the commercials sometimes the headend inserted ads will overlap into the LF but its a rare occasion
The LDLs (for both SD and HD) are all screwed up right now. I think they are showing current conditions from sometime last night (because it is NOT 27 and mostly clear here right now), and Friday's forecast (with no high) is showing. :blink:Thats IMO why i think running LDLs VIZ|RT is a bad idea :bleh:
Not really a blooper, but the ldl and lower thirds are missing during the 4:20PM Weekly Planner.
Yeah, Day Planner is obviously a fail show today.
You have to give them credit for at least trying to put on as decent a show as they can.I know, but we usually just use the term "fail show" for events like these anyway.
The use of Vizrt had nothing to do with it. The issue all had to deal witha network failure within TWC.The LDLs (for both SD and HD) are all screwed up right now. I think they are showing current conditions from sometime last night (because it is NOT 27 and mostly clear here right now), and Friday's forecast (with no high) is showing. :blink:Thats IMO why i think running LDLs VIZ|RT is a bad idea :bleh:
Quite a coincidence then because of what the HD LF last Wednesday did and recently a lot of Vizrt products have been aliased in texture and design..

At 1AM Eastern Time, TWC used the old Abrams and Bettes weather center intro that had Mike and Steps picture in it.
This intro, but with different music I think.

Is it just me or did Crystal have this look on her face like, "FINALLY, I can go home and get the hell out of here." look when that extreme weather video briefly cut off and the shot went back to the studio. Chris also looked awkward and embarrassed, trying to slowly walk off camera. :P
Also, TWC always letterboxes the live weather updates on SD during the overnight hours. :wacko:They always have ;)
Well, in other parts of the day, those updates are in 4:3…Also, TWC always letterboxes the live weather updates on SD during the overnight hours. :wacko:They always have ;)

She must have thought that a piece of her hair was sticking out due to static electricity or something. It was kind of funny with that "you didn't see that" look when she was on-camera to report. :bleh:
Stephanie just said "That's coming up after your local weather and Traffic on the 8's"She always says that.
i guess she never got the memo that traffic's been gone since late last year.

No music on the second half of the 4:28 EST LF.Sun outage ;)
Black screen from 4:30-4:34 PM EST. Then, the feed was back to normal for Forbsies TorCon forecast at 4:35 PM EST.

I just saw the same glitch at the 10:48 PM and on the 10:38 PM HD LF! :thrilled: I recorded the 10:38 PM LF.Wow, really?! I didn't know that could happen! ([url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pThC9WPKdro#[/url])Those are some nice temps in Washington DC. Imagine if the IS's over there were saying "Currently, the temperature is: -22 degrees, under sunny skies with windy conditions." (shows scattered t'storms icon) :lol:
Our STAR unit has had some vocal local segments interact, in example...Video? I dont think the XL has that narration for "your local forecast" :blink: also, unlike the IS, i dont think the XL can multitask and launch multiple instances unless the headend mysteriously has multiple XLs connected..
Currently in our area... sevent-your local forecast.

Are there L3rds for PM Edition Weekend? :dunno: TWC was showing WC L3rds during PME Weekend this afternoon. Even if there aren't PME Weekend L3rds, they could have just shown the regular PME ones today.PME and PME Weekend should share a graphics set. As to why they're using WC L3rds, I'd guess that ever since regular PME has been discontinued, they've not bothered to use the correct graphics.
Yesterday during WV, the Weekly Planner temp maps read "-'S FORECAST" and the all the temps except 70's were 0's.
Santos yesterday during WN pardoned the viewers for the messed up graphics and he wasnt sure why.. on a related note to that, he made reference to Viz a lot yesterdayYesterday during WV, the Weekly Planner temp maps read "-'S FORECAST" and the all the temps except 70's were 0's.

Anybody recall the deal with this goofup? It occurred on May 4, 2010. I don't believe I caught the whole thing, only portions of it. I think there was more prior to when I turned it on TWC.

A few seconds ago on PME, they were showing the spillway opening when the stream went black. They cut back to Todd and Ryan, and you can see Todd look away from the preview screen, shift through some papers, and make a "WTF?" face......LOLSaw that... almost thought they were gonna pull out the Trammell :P
Todd is just NOT having a good day....he had some troubles with the radar a few seconds ago, at which point he grunted rather loudly. :rofl2:He did!?! Wow, It'd be pretty funny to see one of them flip out on air.

Last night during the 10 PM ET segment of WCL, the inset satellite which was supposed to be showing a satellite view of Tropical Storm Don was showing a Windows XP screensaver.
Kim: "We'll have more on these storms coming up at 10 o clock."
Well Kim there's only one problem with that...you were about 88 minutes behind. It was 11:28pm when she said that. :P
Just a moment ago, they accidentally showed a Tru Vu Max splash screen.
Interesting... I think that happens when they don't have anything in a playlist or don't have it set in play... I've seen it on my local news channel as well.Just a moment ago, they accidentally showed a Tru Vu Max splash screen.
i saw it as well

Looks like TWC got a little confused at who's who and what's what... :PSame thing happened on DP earlier this week... Heather was supposed to be reading a story while Maria waited at the greenwall, but instead it Maria began reading and Heather was still at the desk and waited on Maria to finish and then began reading after sorting it out....
At the top of the hour, Vivian Brown's name was under a live shot of NYC, Nick Walker's name was under Vivian who was standing in front of a map, and New York City was under a US radar map.
I noticed a bit of hostility between Heather and Maria on the show that day......How so?
I noticed Heather was being a bit... how should I say... crabby towards her? Nothing much, just noticable...I noticed a bit of hostility between Heather and Maria on the show that day......How so?
I haven't seen the L squeeze bar so called "blooper" (at the top of this page) since that day...
Was it a test?
WHOA! They just started WUWA..... it was a video file. I thought WUWA was getting started 4 hours early.
On the Tropics Watch map at the beginning of this hour of WCL, they showed an XL snow icon twice for a few seconds :oSnow icon?! :rofl2:

Apparently, we've gone back almost 2,000 years—this morning, the YWT teaser showed the date as September 19, 0211.
Caught this little error earlier...
The IStar's programming LDL logo is shown (without the IStar LDL) over the national LDL. Certainly not the first time this has happened.

Off topic, but who's that giving the weather report? If it's Crystal Egger, she looks different. :blink:
At the beginning of the 7 PM ET hour of Weather Center, there were at least three (maybe four) TWC logos on the bottom right. The satellite LDL logo, the IntelliStar-generated logo, and the transparent long-form logo. I thought I saw another logo disappear, but I'm not sure (I'll check my recording later).

Maybe I'm missing something, but I see only one logo on the national-feed SD LDL.The IS LDL logo is there too, hence the reflection. The blue expanse to the top and right of the logo is the SD sat logo.

During the beginning of WUWA, Al said that the date is November 18, 2001What?! :rofl2:
IntelliStar LDL is overlaying on top of commercials.
During the 10AM Repeat of WUWA, they accidentally showed yesterday's episode. It took about 1 minute for them to realize it and they cut to a Live Weather Update with Mike Bettes until the commercial break. Everything was back to normal after the LF and they showed today's episode.
At the end of WCL, Kim shows a live shot of NYC and says "Goodnight NYC, have a good day" Seemed pretty contrary to say the least. :lol:

It could be habit. I know it is for me. After every transaction, I say to my customers, "Have a nice day," whether it's 6:00 am or a few minutes to midnight. My brain goes on autopilot, and that's what I say.
Supernova played at 6:28am today.We're aware, there's been discussion about it in the Local Forecast boards. ;)
Today on WCL, it was Adam Berg's birthday and they showed Adam's funny baby pictures!That isn't a blooper. Post this in the General TWC discussion thread.
They just used a day planner background behind a live shot of Indianapolis. :wacko:Really?! :rofl2:

While you have that video, can anyone tell me how Dave Schwartz and Warren Madden were able to hum to the LOT8s tune (at least, I'm assuming that's what they were doing). Can the OCMs hear the LOT8s? :dunno:

A big TWC logo (not the IS one or national LDL one) appeared by itself before going to the commercials at about 6:25, like it did pre-2010.What do you mean? :unsure:

The logo on the background is for the 7 Day Forecast that airs on NBC during the rebroadcast of the 4th hour of the Today Show.
That's why the logo was blocked by the LDL.
Someone must have picked the wrong background animation file.

I don't get why they feel the need to watermark the graphics. It's like another one of those unexplained mysteries I'll never understand with them. :dunno:In reality, everyone does it. It's to make sure if someone uses it, they always know where and who it came from (like other NBC stations). They don't send over lower thirds, just the graphics usually and that may be one of their Max shows that had the logo on it and instead of using the one without it, they made the mistake. Just my assumption.

Not a TWC blooper, but an interesting enough one nonetheless. An Orlando TV meteorologist, while talking about the tropical disturbance in the Gulf of Mexico, kept talking about its impact on Cuba while continuously pointing to the Yucatan Peninsula. I just kept thinking... "Really?" :wacko:
They just played the morning sponsor graphic using the old 2008 music! :blink: :thrilled:Yeah, they do that on rare occasion. I heard it during one of their golf sponsor teasers on Day Planner back in May. Now if only they used the evening 2008 sponsor teaser music. :bleh:
Now if only they used the evening 2008 sponsor teaser music. :bleh:And also bring back the 03-05 Weather Center music for the Local on the 8s sponsor screen. :P
Or even the Closed Captioning bumper with the 05-08 WO music.. :hmm: Speaking of that bumper, I saw it a few times last year at :49 past and it used the same music as the current LOT8s sponsor screen.Now if only they used the evening 2008 sponsor teaser music. :bleh:And also bring back the 03-05 Weather Center music for the Local on the 8s sponsor screen. :P

That's not a blooper. Kim and Carl are both officially called Hurricane Specialists by the network now.Kim was in the Air Force at one time, and I think she did do some work with hurricanes.
Seriously weather.com? Are you kidding me?Aw, Daaaaang - in my area, too! B)
I've heard of a "freeze" before but never a "feeze." :rolleyes:
Can someone explain how that second blooper is possible? I'm running all these scenarios in my head to figure out how they managed that. hahahaSeeing as Jen Carfagno was present, she was in the Atlanta studio while Al was in the NYC studio (which has a green screen now). :yes:
Pretty cool to say the least.

I knew Cantore had been caught in the middle of a TWC dispute recently, and I knew the weather had been bad for many, but I didn't realize he had made enemies that would try to attack him. :rolleyes: At least Cantore won.No, that college student, which seems right as that shot was taken at the College of Charleston in South Carolina, just wanted to be on TV and get attention. Who knows if he was even fulfilling a bet to do this stunt? Some people just never learn when it comes to impulsive thoughts. :rolleyes:

Woah! Did anyone else see that major LOT8's blooper?Umm, what happened? Doesn't help to say 'did anyone see that?' without explaining what 'that' is.
Looks like someone doesn't know how to spell one of the most familiar faces in meteorology...and the most familiar face and meteorologist at TWC. Just goes to show the carelessness TWC has toward its OCM's.I'm pretty sure it was probably a small careless mistake while they were tirelessly making the graphics.
