On the SD feed, just before going to break from Storm Session, the |HD| pillar bars were seen for a few seconds.

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.

It never seems to operate properly though.

That probably wasn't the jib camera; it was probably the camera on the overhead track, which tends to be horribly shaky when in motion. The jib is usually fluid in motion from what I've seen.

Wow, that whole last segment at 10:30 CT pretty much fell apart. They had Sharon's implementation of Titan stuck on the Hurricane Advisories for Gustav, and Rich's Titan was stuck on a satellite image of Gustav, so Rich wound up just stalling by talking about Gastav and Hannah until they could get to break to sort things out. I have to love the way Rich responds to technical difficulties...

Sharon: Rich, are you going to be able to talk about Hannah?

Rich: *shrugs shoulders* Weeeellll....maybe, maybe not. It doesn't looooook like it.

Yeah, I saw that.
Pretty sad, I'd say. Lol.  Funny, but sad.  :lol:

They had the Weekend Now projector wall divider up during the first segment of WWC today; it's fixed now, though.

They used the morning lower thirds during the Weather Center teasers at 2 PM ET.

EDIT: And they're using the morning LIVE tag right now, too.
