The Tor:con index is basically a glorified version of the tornado forecasting that the SPC comes out with each day. Just another marketing technique NBC has up their sleeves.

They did a short weather update with Paul Goodloe at the bottom of the hour during the 1 AM ET long-form block. The update looked like it was recorded, and it was letterboxed for SD viewers, just like  the EEWC reprise during the first week of June 2008.

Interesting. I believe the last time they tried to insert L3rds over long-form was back in 2008 when they aired "Storm Session" during Tropical Storm Fay.

Actually, no. They were used in February when the Chilean earthquake occurred. :yes:

Correct. And they also used them during the Haitian earthquake as well.

I like that.  Maybe instead of using lower thirds they can kill the IStar LDLs and replace the national thingy with the news?

Don't the L3rds cover up a lot of what is on the screen, though? :dunno: Not that I'd really care though...showing a current tornado warning is certainly more important than showing stupid long-form. :club:

So, TWC is promoting Father's Day, and who would the sponsor of that be? That's right, it's Bookit.com! :D
