I kind of like it :P  Is the "Digital Media Center" a new feature?

I have said it before and I will say it again; I am glad they continue to make use of the old TWC studio on air.

Also, I was watching Weather Center (Tuesday I believe) and it seemed that the entire half hour I watched, Maria LaRosa was in the HD studio sitting at the desk (with the world map as the backdrop) and Jim Cantore was at the "Expert Desk."  Not once, to my knowledge, did they use the large video wall in the studio.  Maria basically just anchored the show from the desk. I found it interesting. 

Did anyone else notice this?

Might have been having problems? In regards to the Digital Media Center i think it may just be for the weather.com launch

No, that's pretty much how every WC show is done when Jim Cantore is there. He does all of the weather from the expert desk, and whoever is co-anchoring just sits at the desk and handles the news and stories.

Oh now I see what you were saying. Sorry lack of sleep made me misunderstand what was being described :P I still find it odd the way they do that

Isn't that the TV they used for the Hurricane Central/winter weather set in the old studio?

I've never seen a TWC ad on YouTube before.

This was on edbassmaster's channel.

I never see ads anymore since my browser filters them but  I would assume it sees the content you are viewing is weather related or your past history has included weather topics so it showed it. Ads are becoming a lot more personal these days

The 5 & 6 PM ET PME Openers had the music cut off and faded at the start today. Dunno about 4 PM ET though.
I've gone off on a journey to be a moderator at another forum, but this place will forever remain home for me~

Well, not using the video wall could save some energy, but unless its on and nobody is using it wouldn't be very good since they are supposed to be a eco friendly/green channel.

The LDA/LDL combo is frozen on Raleigh now. The animations are present, though.
