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:

PM Edition should too... their colors are pretty much the same as A&B's.

Anyway, sorry to stearing this off-topic.

The set for PME uses brighter colors, though.

They just used a morning lower third for Mike Bettes. :wacko: They quickly took it off after it animated in, though.

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.

At 4:50 PM ET, Kristina called Weekend Weather Center "Weekend Now." Weekend Now ended nearly three hours ago, Kristina. :P

They played the Weather Center opener at 5:00 PM CT. After the opener, the 2 person lower third calls the show "Evening Edition". What show is this again? :P

Weather Center:  Evening Edition.

Serious issues with PM Edition at 8 PM ET. Started with a black screen for first 15 seconds, then the pre-recorded teasers cut in, then a black screen resumed for a while more, Titan radar froze, and a second of Trammell in the mix.
