Changes in First Outlook come Monday...

[Spring Rubber]

Guys, I should mention that Vivian Brown just announced that after 11 years of Weather Center in Studio 1B, today is their last day in that studio, but they're going to be staying in that room for right now while they work on the transition to HD. It sounds like all shows might be moving to Studio 1A (the big desk) during this upcoming transition period. I wonder what they could possibly be doing that requires them to decommission these old sets. AFAIK, nothing will be happening in the old building in regards to HD.

1B has the HD cameras in it. They are problaly moving the resouces such as the camera chains over to the HD studio.

Doesn't the Weekend View/Abrams & Bettes studio have HD cameras as well? (As mentioned in a previous posting of mine) Does this mean that those shows will move out of their studios, too?

I believe they do...wow very interesting news! i wonder if the PM Edition and Weather Center backdrops will be the current day planner backdrop? those are the only two shows that broadcast from studio 1b, right (other than wwc, and pm edition weekend)? oh i wonder what backdrop the first outlook hours will use. ahh. can't wait to find out.

If they follow through with using 1A, Weather Center would use the cloud backdrop, and PM Edition would use the evening backdrop, just as they do now.

I'm curious what they'll do with First Outlook and possibly WV and A&B. It sounds like First Outlook might be moving to the new studio, because why would Kim say "I think you'll like it," if they're just moving to 1A, a studio we've seen for 7 years?

There are only....... 3 HD cameras in the current building...

true, but IIRC...back when they were trying out the side angle view PM Edition used the day planner side backdrop throughout the whole time slot of pm edition.

though again, things tend to change very often. 

[Spring Rubber]

No, they used the evening backdrop, just as they do now. Perhaps you're remembering a night they forgot to change the backdrop; they do that at least about once every few weeks. A few weeks ago, they did it two nights in a row!

Well, guys, we might be coming up on the last segment from Studio 1B; I guess we'll know for sure when Weekend Outlook comes on or if Rich and Sharon say something.

* beanboy89 fires up tuner to record segment.

Edit: Rich or Sharon mentioned nothing about moving to a new studio......

[Spring Rubber]

Well, they didn't say anything.

Now we wait until 4:30 ET...

So what are the logistics behind this?

If we see Weekend Outlook at 4:30 AM ET and they're at Studio 1B (GFC desk), then that means that they will be there all throughout the weekend, and theoretically that means whoever hosts EEWC on Sunday night/Monday morning will the last OCM to host at this studio?

If we see Weekend Outlook at 4:30 AM ET and they're at Studio 1A (big desk), then that means that Rich and Sharon were the last OCMs to host at this studio, and all shows this weekend will be in 1A?

Do I have this right?

Also, where does the Weekend View/A&B set play into this?

[Spring Rubber]

Either what you said, or maybe the construction crews won't move in until Saturday afternoon, making Weekend Outlook the last show from that studio, but we'll have to wait and see. I really don't think me staying up through the end of WO would be a wise idea though; I need to get my sleep schedule back on track.

As far as I know, The WV/A&B studio seems to be staying for now since Mike and Steph didn't say anything about it; they're usually pretty chatty about that stuff. Who knows for sure, though? Anything's possible.

Kyle, as I posted before, there seems to be an HD camera in the WV/A&B studio based on an interview with Dr. Forbes that was done near the key wall in there. Perhaps there's 2 HD cameras in 1B and one in the WV/A&B studio? Could they have bought more since you left TWC without us hearing about it?

[Spring Rubber]

Well, it's Weekend Outlook time, and Raymond is still in Studio 1B...

I guess whenever it happens will be a complete surprise.

[Spring Rubber]

WWC is still in Studio 1B this afternoon.

I guess the "wait and see" game continues.
