New Graphics for all shows

[tropicalweather]

I think I can definitely say that there's less lightning on the left HD wall.  You can tell by the way Marshall's face darkens as he looks toward the monitor vs directly to the camera.  Also, when compared to Heather's.

Also, has anyone pointed out yet that the OCMs have only been standing on the right side of the wall since the YWT broadcast began and do not move to the left?  It looks like they don't have a monitor on the right side to look at.

Evansville, IN is in Virginia now, Heather?

LOL, I saw that. Looks like she's still not quite used to the new studio.

And she wears glitter.

They just used a new LIVE tag when they went to a live shot with Jim Cantore. Of course, it's halfway cutoff on my TV screen.

It seems like it's only being used for the field shots, just like pre-2003.

The Alaska Forecast map used during the forecast hour was also completely 4:3 unfriendly. It took up the whole 16:9 frame! They haven't made that mistake since, however.

LOL, they just backed a camera into the desk shot.

It looks like they have NO intention of having a permanent LIVE bug from now on during studio segments.  I just noticed they showed a live shot of Los Angeles while the OCM was at the HD wall and the LIVE bug appeared for the shot and just as quickly it went away.

New graphics and music on Day Planner today, too.

I'm sensing a strong influence from past DP packages in the new look. It's like the design of the 2005-2008 logo with the colors from 2003-2004.

Also, they don't seem to be using any sort of lower third on Day Planner so far. If, like First Outlook, they're going to be using the old lowerthirds without the logo, they're possibly working on that lowerthird right now. But I wouldn't think it would take that long to delete that logo from the lower third.

It looks like they are staying away from actual shots of people/situations for the show presentations.  The last time they had graphics only for openers was before the 2001-2003 package, back when it was just called Weather Center and Weather Scope.

Methinks all of the SD broadcasts will suffer poor production values until they are blessed to enter the HD realm.
