except on Mondays in an emergency, but never on Chooseday. On Chooseday, Adam gets to CHOOSE not to go to work. :innocent:

Anyone else see the new LOT8s open with the green TWC logo - and stating how TWC is now part of NBC Networks, therefore leading TWC to be in NBC's "Universally green" campaign? Pretty neat, actually.

Did Overnight Outlook's opener change along with the rest in 2005 before it got axed? I can't seem to find a copy of the newer one to see....

Yes indeed it did; note the incorrect declaration of "LIVE" in the new opener...

So either something is going on at my headend or TWC is experiencing another meltdown. I've been seeing a black screen here for the past four minutes, ever since Day Planner (hosted today by Cheryl Lemke and Kristin Dodd) went to break at 11:06 AM ET. At 10:56 AM ET, the commercials were interrupted by an approximately one-minute long test pattern screen.

I'm guessing it was either your headend or the problem is solved, because I just turned on TWC and saw my LF.

Must be my headend. The outage is still occurring.

EDIT: As of 11:23, it came back.

Now, I predict the schedule for the rest of today and tomorrow out of boredom:

(all times Central)

Day Planner/Weather Center
Vivian Brown and Nick Walker

PM Edition
Betty Davis and Samantha Mohr

Abrams & Bettes/early Evening Edition
In the field: Stephanie Abrams and Mike Bettes
Studio host: Adam Berg

Evening Edition
Paul Goodloe and Carl Parker

Yeah, let's do that
Rich Johnson and Sharon Resultan

weather.com
Dave Schwartz
---------
Thursday
---------

First Outlook
Jeff Morrow and Eboni Deon

Your Weather Today
Bill Keneely and Nicole Mitchell
Travel Analyst: Kelly Cass

Day Planner
Kristin Dodd and Dave Schwartz

Day Planner/Weather Center
Vivian Brown and Nick Walker

PM Edition
Betty Davis and Samantha Mohr

Abrams & Bettes/early EE
Steph and Mike

Evening Edition
Paul Goodloe

Yeah, that sounds like a plan so let's go do so
Rich Johnson and Sharon Resultan

weather.com
Adam Berg

So for tomorrow, either someone who's currently off is going to need to come back, or they're going to need to call someone in or have someone go solo. I guess we'll see how it turns out.

People need to stop taking these week long vacations and get back to work on their normal schedules... As soon as Alexandra returns in January, I hope things get back on track. It's bothering me a lot.

My schedule was off again for the evening; this time I had it reversed. Carl was in the studio for A&B/early EE, then when it was time to preview regular EE, we heard, "All right, gang, let's see what's comin' up tonight on Evening Edition."

As if TWC just wants to insult my prediction, Carl and Adam anchored EE, and Rich is solo tonight while Sharon takes a load off.
