Or perhaps they celebrated it an hour earlier? Who knows.

They shouldn't be able to pick and choose; if they're going to do it, do it during the actual Earth Hour!

I can understand leaving the key lights on, but other lights should be turned off in the background.

Maybe they turned out the lights in all their offices and other studios that they're not using right now. That would be my guess.

Probably, but that's just silly. All of the lights they have on in the studio are far less than essential. Nice example being set by the supposedly environmentally-conscious TWC.

Well, during the 8:30 PM ET segment, they mentioned the saving power for the Earth Hour, but it looks like they've still taken no visible action.

How ironic.

I hope TWC feels good about their credibility.

Or if not then, they will during the 9:00 PM ET hour or long-form programming.

Wow, spazz over nothing much?

Up here, we broadcasted outsite (as all lights were off inside, and the key walls wouldnt work :P) all that was used was a Sony IMX camera on batteries and 1 (one) LED light.

Is it just me, or does the set look extra dark for some reason tonight during EEWC?

Same thing last night.

I know they did mess with the lights when they were shooting that farce of an Earth Hour video. They might have burnt out the lighting around the TWC logo, or they never turned those lights back on.

It actually creates the illusion that the big backdrop is properly lit since the logo wall is so dark!
