Huh, Heather is off today, so instead of Marshall doing a live teaser, he did a recorded teaser solo despite the fact that Nicole is also anchoring. What was odd, however, is that unlike all of the other recorded teasers, the opener for YWT was still done live instead of as a part of the teaser package.
It looks like their normal floor director is also off today. Speaking of which, it seems that only the high priority shows (YWT/A&B/EE) are using a floor director; the other shows are done just like in the old studio with directions coming only from the director in the earpiece and the countdown lights on the cameras. EEWC started out with a floor director, but I think they might have phased that out by now. I think I remember Kyle saying something about having extra staff on hand for the first week in HD.
EDIT: Despite it being Monday, they still called Eboni Deon in to work as Travel Analyst. Even if Cheryl Lemke had experience in the HD studio, I still would wonder if they would put her on YWT. Is she too "matronly and dowdy" to be allowed on the show?
