Sheriff Joe Arpaio is letting his inmates at Tent City watch the Cardinals game: http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/2009/01/17/20090117inmatescards-ON.html

And he might even have his own Weather Star, because the three networks he normally lets them watch are C-SPAN, Food Network, and (!) The Weather Channel. (Probably not, but given Sheriff Joe, you never know.)

I have a very strong hunch that EEWC and WO are being produced by Master again as of Thursday. I'll post more during the day, but suffice it to say that the shows look just as rough and just the same as they did before the move to HD. Either OverDrive is broken, or they've decided to cut back by having one less person working during those hours; I'm thinking the latter, but we'll see.

EEWC: The EE badge stayed in the lower left for about a minute after the teaser finished.

Does anyone notice that whenever Evening Edition uses the pre-recorded teasers, the first second or so of the opener is cut off? This causes the music to not line up with the opener. It wasn't always like that..

The opener isn't cut off at all; it just looks that way because the opener fades in from the teasers. The opener is out of sync from the music due to sloppy editing on their part. (This was common with the 2003-2005 EE pre-recorded teasers as well.)

I actually think it's done intentionally so that the signature notes play just as it's transitioning into the studio; at least, that's my take on it.

Its a 50/50 toss up if they A) Have just the teaser pre-taped and dissolve to the live open off a video server, or B) If they have a enough time, or depends on whos editing, will include the opening as part of the pretape, in which case they can perfectly backtime and sync the opening music to the pre-tape package.

The opener is part of the recorded teaser - if they were airing the opener live, they'd use the opener that doesn't transition out to the studio.

Just so you know, there is no offical "opener" for either. Its what ever the TD can pull up on the SMS quickest or what ever is preset by OD.

True, but it's very rare that they actually use the original opener (the one that transitions out) on a live teaser. They basically always use the original opener after a pre-recorded teaser, and I'm pretty certain that that opener is actually part of the recorded teaser.
