If I'm the last one to notice this, sorry but,  I saw on Morning Rush this morning the words GFC are gone from the GFC. How come? Because of the new changes?

GFC was removed from the wall when they updated them for the tropical season in August.

Fairly long close for WUWA at 6:57 ET I wish they wouldn't have them talk when they have time left over because WUWA's theme music is great!

I don't mind the WUWA music as much as I do the Morning Rush programming music. The stuff they play for Morning Rush doesn't even sound like production music, but more like disgusting heavy metal/alternative noise. I wish they would bring back any of the YWT production used anytime between 2000-2011.

No 'Weekend View' LDL title for the 7:00 segment. Weird. Think they are testing something new?

The Title came on eventually. There was no WV Title at the end of the 6:00AM EST hour. Right now, no WV Title,  and the LDL is in late and out early.  I wonder if the testing is starting?

To be honest, I kind of like the LDL going out early.. but the title missing is strange.. Maybe they are testing something I guess we just don't really know.  :dunno: :unsure:

Interesting the animated show promos are still running in the LDL area going to break yet they can't get the show logo and mini ads to display on the bottom left.

On the SD feed the show logo and ads are still playing on the bottom left of the LDL.

As of 10:53am they have the logo area back. The timing is still a bit off and going to break at 10:57am the LDL area show promo did not display.

Something else I wanted to note,
in recent weeks with OCM's out in the field reporting, at weather conferences or on vacation, TWC has had to move people around to fill in.

Chris has subbed for Mike on AM Rush.
Julie has been doing First Forecast.

Alex Wilson was on with Jen this AM 7am-11am.
Kim and Nick are on 11am-2pm this weekend.

Last weekend they had Warren and Keith 11am-2pm and Kim and Ryan 7pm and 10pm.

According to Titan TV TWC is doing a Super Storm Sandy special 5am-2pm.
There's a rebroadcast 5pm-8pm. WCL is back at 10pm.

Funny blooper at 7:05 WCL.. They went to a live image of Boston to lead in to the forecast for world series game 6.. but the TruVuMAX computer wasn't being taken as the source.. so then eventually they faded to another Max source.. the one that Chris wasn't assigned to with his remote... wow.. catalouge of errors there..

Nick just said TWC is going to be live all afternoon into the evening due to the severe weather.

Don't know why WCL is still showing this late (been on for at least 1 1/2 hr). Trying to burn off OCM time in advance of schedule changes?

Possibly to fill in the extra hour due to the end of Daylight Savings Time
