New Segment on WC: Earth Watch With Carl Parker

Topic: Solar City

He seems to like topics like that so it doesn't surprise me
How thick is lightning?

So who's next in line for having their own segments? We have Carl, Steph, Mike, now what? I can bet y'all that Adam Berg might have his own segment about sports weather. I don't know. It seems like TWC is giving a popular OCM a segment.

Although.. I do like Carl's segment. Anything to do with the Earth seems to be his favorite thing to talk about.

I think maybe Jim Cantore will have some new segment. And you forgot Dr. Forbes has Forbes Factor.

Giving each OCM a segment of his or her own makes that person more recognizable to the public and gives TWC something more to sell.  I don't think the trend will end here, but I wonder when it goes into overload.  If you have too many of these specialized segments, then you lose the live weather time.  I think they should only show segments when the present weather actually demands a segment for more insight from an OCM's expertise in that subject area.

That or when the weather isn't as active.

Just heard the music used for the Weather Center intro used on a Fox News ad. I'd like to find that theme, it's a good one...  :thinking:

A theory... Someone may have partied too hard... Clearly there's more to why they're not using the video wall as a primary source, but this could be a factor...

At that spot, it looks like someone fell or ran into the wall, or is it the projector doing that?

I can't really tell what's wrong...is that a discoloration or something in the wall? Anyways, couldn't TWC just use one side and not the other instead of not using it all together? :dunno:

And since you brought this up Jesse, you can't bash other people over the head for mentioning the video wall like you did before. :P
