Fully live EEWC now. Why couldn't they preempt, though?

They were trying to do this hour without live updates to avoid staying even later, it seems, but they wound up breaking in with a radar update at 12:20 CT to update on yet another powerful tornado on the ground.

If things calm down as they sometimes do late at night, why don't they just make sure at least record one good (non-time sensitive) version of every segment between the two hours and play that one set of good segments twice during the rebroadcast time period? That way the broadcast will rebroadcast smoothly, and Rich and Sharon can get home on time.

Of course, if severe weather is still relevant during the rebroadcast timeslot, they should still go live.

Carl Parker is on Weekend Now this morning, and he's not wearing a tie. I can't remember the last time I've ever seen him tieless.

Probably last January during his stints on Abrams & Bettes. Still, not wearing a tie on Weekend Now? Will this be something new?

Oh, and someone needs to tell Carl that even if Danica wins the Indy 500, she still won't be anywhere near the level of Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan. Those two actually have/had brilliant careers. He's embarrassing himself. :blushing:

I've *never* seen him before, and they didn't key him a single time. It was for the tornado coverage.

It was probably Ray Stagich. If so, then that was normal. :yes:

It was actually Alex Wallace this morning. Yeah, he's relatively new and appears in that timeslot on a regular basis along with Cheryl Lemke, Eboni Deon, Ray Stagich (Saturday), or Mark Mancuso (Sunday).

Wallace also works weather.com on most weekdays and fills in during the late morning and early afternoon on all days.

And now Adam Berg is doing a fully live EEWC tonight, you guys. He's got a late night ahead of him, but at least the viewers will benefit from having live updates during the overnight. The tornado outbreak is actually getting worse as the night goes on; three new tornado warnings issued this hour.
