Yeah, it was video of a heat wave, the first of three videos in the teaser package.

At 1:57 PM ET, they played the old winter station ID, and not the new spring one.

They ended the :30 past segment with the old PM Edition logo over a cloud background. I wonder if that was intentional (seeing as Carl and Kristina are back together for the first time tonight in 3 years), or maybe it was just a coincidence. :P

Probably just a coincidence, but fitting nonetheless. :P

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.

People who are on contract, not full employees.

Oh, sorry; I read the last part of your other post as, "It's filed with people on contract."

Before going to break at 12:45 AM ET, and for a minute or so at 12:50 AM, there was no audio from in studio.

Just now at the top of the hour, they accidentally went to a tape of Rich and Sharon on EEWC instead of live First Outlook. Master caught it quickly and switched to a WWCH ad until they could get things set up properly. The ad was followed by the proper WWCH top of the hour bumper, followed by First Outlook.

At 3:04 AM ET (and probably 1:04) they used A&B lower thirds for a pre-recorded segment covering the midwest flooding.

Then at 3 AM CT, they cold opened First Outlook; the opener never played.

BTW, why is it that the Friday edition of FO always uses the main theme for the teaser instead of the normal headlines vamp? Different audio tech on Friday?

At 1:20 AM ET, when going to Rich Johnson after LF, the Weather Update/severe weather lower third displayed.

The one with the EE background? They've been using that all hour, for whatever reason.

Woah, WTF? I was watching the NASCAR final practice on SPEED, and turned to TWC at 9:59 PM ET, and I see Studio 1B with empty seats, then after maybe 10-15 seconds, they play the EE teasers.

 :huh: :wacko:
