Looking at that top pic I'd say that Adam's been hanging around Dave too long.  :lol: :rofl2:

Looks like they're using it on all shows now. I like it, its much more closer to the banners used on most of the other maps.

I wonder what the last show to move into the HD will be? My guess is Weather Center. It was the first show that is still around to broadcast from the old studio, and I think it very well could be the last, too.
Do you guys think Day Planner may go HD around the same as Weekend View? I say this because the same OCM's that host WV host DP certain days of the week. And in that case, Weekend Now may go HD that same time as well.

It'll probably go HD once both Weekend View and Weekend Now have. :yes:

So I'm going to stick this here...since it happened during YWT this morning.  Apparently, in the 8:10ET block, the feed went crazy and then turned off...leaving the LDL running over a black screen.  The local commercials came on, then went back to black.  The Local (normal music too) started without the IStar local (just the LDL with the Sat), then everything was back to normal.

First time seeing the new Sat graphics live...it looks freaking awesome.

Did anyone see ESPN's coverage of the NBA draft last night? Their graphics for the player profiles looked almost just like TWC's new map graphics.

Nope, sorry, but the title bars had the exact same metallic appearance with the triangular cut-off edges. I'm surprised they couldn't do something original. :P

On another note, they've also made new, slightly modified ads for YWT and EE. In one of them, the couple on the couch from that HD Vision video is watching EE instead of the HD LF on their TV.

No, but I do have a number for a good psychologist for Spring, though.  Something's gotta be screwed up up there.   :lol:
