The Hurricane Central key wall in the old studio also had the red light, but that area doesn't exist anymore. Apparently they have a new key wall with a red light now.

Was that the set they were using during the mass outage in 2008?

No, because they were broadcasting from a different studio.

Random Question from Nicole that I find somewhat interesting...

Random question...if you were going to rename our show, what would you call it?

Thanks in advance for not using this as an excuse to blast programming changes I have no control over! :-) ~N

What would you all answer? And no, Overnight Outlook does not count.. because that's my answer. :P Yet, another show back then has the same name.

That is interesting.  :yes: 

I think Weather Center is just fine, but apparently the big guys do not.

that's stupid...isn't that the reason why Evening Edition got canned, to centralize "Weather Center"

dumbf***s :censored: (to whoever is causing programming changes)

Is that your idea or is that TWC's?  A Name change might not be a bad idea.  If TWC puts it on weekends too, it will be better than watching PME at 10PM CT on weekends

Wait, so TWC is planning to change the name "Weather Center" to something else??? :blink: Like Al said, I thought EE was canned to make WC a big thing/name, and now they want to can that all together too. :wacko:

Just to clarify, I think Nicole was asking for suggestions to rename the second edition of WC (which starts at 10pm/et). I don't see them messing with the 7-10pm edition of WC.

I could see why they want to do this. They probably want the WC brand to be related to specific perks the 7pm show does that the 10pm show doesn't (for example, a live "Lightning Rod" presentation). They probably want to distance the 10pm show from the 7pm for that reason, and I don't blame them.

I for one would like to see EE return at 10pm. Or maybe Weather Center: Late Edition or Weather Center Overnight.

I never really liked the concept of "West Coast" being added to a name of a show.  :no:

Yeah, I always thought "west coast" would draw confusion to everyone. I like Tyler's ideas.

Well a major hurricane is heading their way and I think they have done that before. (having someone report from Bermuda)
