Ike is a what, a cat 3 hurricane now? Yeah - TWC is going to be covering it! TWC = The Weather Channel... Ike = Weather... Catch the point? It's their job to be covering this stuff, it's all they do, so when theres a cat 3 hurricane roaming the sea headed for the broadcast area, then yes, again, they will be covering it.

If it was CNN, and they were covering it 24/7 then yes, that would be called over hyping as CNN should be covering other things like news, where as TWC, is nothing but weather.

Come back and say that TWC spends all their time watching the tropics? As both Fay and Gustav were hitting the south, there were storms hitting the N/NE, and TWC was checking in with those storms and giving updates as nessisary as well as the tropics information.

Hmm, is it me or are they airing TWC promos after the local ad insets instead of before now?

Right now, on the inset satellite for Ike, they're showing a titlebar on the satellite picture. Don't think that's supposed to be there; you can hardly even read it.  :doh2:

Really, on master controlled WC? Never seen them do that before. Did you get a clip or screenshot of this?

No, I didn't. :(

Master Controlled WC is pretty much the same as Full Controlled WC nowadays.

Sharon Resultan and Adam Berg are up next.

Yeah, let's dive right in and do that, gang!

edit: If they're going to go live all night, I wonder who will step in at 2 AM ET and do updates from there on?
