I'd imagine the producers don't realize that since I highly doubt there are many left from when those graphics debuted.

Last weekend "Weekend Now" was using the "Day Planner" regional intro transitions.
Today they are using what I'm guessing are the old "Weekend Now" regional intro transitions.

There was a surf rescue drill in my area earlier this evening, and a film crew from TWC was there to film it for the new "Coast Guard" show, "Coast Guard Cape Disappointment." I decided to go and check out the drill, where I shot some video footage:

Either that or somebody found the old Kid Pix CD and had a go at that.  Are they purposely trying to make TWC look cheap?  A lot of this stuff they're doing now comes off that way to me.

Sanity has clearly gone out the window in the graphics department.   :footinmouth:

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the 2013 Hurricane Season graphics.





It looks like we finally have some uniformity in the graphics department now.

I think the flag is excessive and looks chintzy, but you're right, uniformity is good I suppose.

Outside of the banner and the hurricane flag there's not that much of a difference from the past couple of years. :no:

Anyone know why TWC is doing no live shows from 5pm to 4am?
