They have a different OCM schedule tonight to.
7pm Chris Warren & Crystal Egger
10pm Chris Warren & Crystal Egger
1am Paul Goodloe & Kelly Cass

Kim and Kelly were on the 7pm and 10pm shows doing news and social segments.

So each show has up to 5 OCM's on the air.
Two main OCMs doing the forecasts, two others doing news and social segments and Cantore at the expert desk.

About Trv Vu Max Traffic the Programming Group must agree for it to air on the Stars, it would be nice to see what the graphics look like on the IS and the IS2 (that would explain why the LDA and the 33% LDL were discontinued)

So it looks like the "Live Weather Update" has been re-named to "Weather NOW," at least it was between WCL and ICHT last night.

I'm not sure what they are doing with these segment graphics, but they look horrible IMO.

Not a huge fan of them, either. I mean, I like that they're looking more uniform, but they look BAD.

This is not a fun storm I'm living through.  The last time I experienced weather like this was during Hurricane Bob in Massachusetts in 1991.

My 30-minute walk home from work this evening was absolutely miserable!  Umbrellas don't work when the wind's blowing at 50 mph, so I got totally drenched as I was fighting against the wind.  There were times when I was trudging ahead leaning forward at quite an angle just to keep moving.

My apartment building lost power at around 6:00 pm when the transformer blew.  It came on a couple of hours later, even though the power company originally said it could take until tomorrow morning.  However, the worst of the storm is still to arrive in Daytona Beach, so I'm keeping my flashlight handy.

if twc really wants primetime ratings they might as well cut down the primetime longform to 1hr (5pm,8pm,11pm,2am) and do the same on weekends
