EE isn't what it used to be though. Now you've got Steele wearing jewelry that could single handedly bring down the whole studio, Cantore got sucked into the whole eye candy by TWC, and well Goodloe is still cool. I liked the days where Cantore was practically a one man circus on that show.

Not to mention, EE had all those badass openers. I loved that Weekly Planner one where the woman hung up the phone in the office as a possible storm was coming and on the travel forecast had all those cars darting at 15455 miles an hour.

Yeah, I hate the Cantore segments with the huge framed map and the enormous RIGHT NOW WEATHER banner on the bottom of the screen. They serve no functional purpose.

Not to mention it makes some of the cities on skytracker hard to read. I remember the days of EE going right to Cantore at the desk and manually operating skytracker, then coming to the chroma key for a few minutes, leaving Paul and Jen/Alexandria a minute or 2 to do the forecasts.

We can assume, but no one knows.

What has changed about Jim Cantore? I don't think he has changed (with the exception of his hair), at least since I started watching TWC in the late 90s.

He has gotten glasses in recent years.

I hope the regular satellite doesn't change. Do you honestly want the graphics updated to what the Intellistar has, with that coldish, depressing, ugly background? I like the sun/lake out of the best, then the cloudy background used before the TWC 05 relaunch.
