Warren ignoring the no suit jacket rule.  :)

At least he still wants to look professional/presentable.

Do they check reporter names before broadcasting reports?
Michelle Franzen was called Stephanie Franzen and the L3rd was wrong to.


They fixed it for the 10pm show. :)

During Long-Form at 2am, the "weather.com" underneath TWC logo is no longer appearing.  :blink:

"weather.com" disappeared several days ago, although the reason behind it is unknown...

Is the beginning of Day Planner always a fail? :P  Today the opening title screen froze for several seconds, and then we could see the camera shift when they finally went to Vivian.

As of today, all long-form shows have the LDL on throughout whole show segments instead of just at :08, :28, :38, etc. Not sure if this a new change or it's just a temporary thing for this week only.

Now that's a change I approve of. Wx info all the time
I've gone off on a journey to be a moderator at another forum, but this place will forever remain home for me~

Really! It used to be this way! I just hope It's not just a change for Thanksgiving as TWC has longform all PM right after DP on Thurs. Even if it's for Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving Travel, It's nice to see!!  Anyone know why weather.com is gone from the LDLs?

The SD IntelliStar LDL on FiOS has Weather.com below the logo. The national HD LDL does not have weather.com below the logo.

How did FiOS get so lucky???  DISH has no weather.com on both SD and HD.

Wait a minute, I just reread your post.  You have a SD Local don't you?  Do Local LDLs come with their own weather logo?

For the LDL on the SD feed, the "weather.com" has been removed.

Even with two OCMs on at 1am tonight it's the same format with only two live segments and the rest full rebroadcasts of blocks of the 10pm show.
Also there is no live weather programming 2pm Thursday to 4am Friday.
