Carl Parker mentioned about 10 minutes ago for us to blog with him tonight (http://www.weather.com/blog/weather/8_17183.html?from=tv_welc_relatedcontentleft) - and that comments/questions posted may be featured on air tonight. For the heck of it I left a comment there, and I'm very curious to see if it actually does get featured on air tonight.

Hmmm...the comment didn't post. Is something wrong with the site?

Wow, so Carl Parker is in the studio again while Betty and Sam, for the second Storm Alert in a row, were told to take a load off. Surely that says something about what TWC thinks of their pairing...

I don't think Betty and Sam are a very good pairing. IMO, they don't seem to work well together. But I also still don't understand the weird schedule for Storm Alert? Why were Kevin and Kim, the Weekend Now crew, doing PM Edition?

Methinks TWC doesn't want Betty and Sam handling Storm Alert.

Anyway, Jeff's not in the field this time, so except him and Jen to do the early morning coverage.

Also, TWC is officially promoting Carl Parker's blog on weather.com/tv and on the TV network; I wonder if TWC is starting to appreciate Carl again after moving him to weekends last year. I still miss him on PM Edition.

Also, weather.com/tv is now entirely red for Storm Alert. They're really going all-out for this one!

I like the new music! So they use 2 different cuts of the music on the lf?

What are you referring to?

Anyway, here's the new theme played on the 2-minute LF earlier today followed by the technical difficulties that Gary mentioned earlier, which was then followed by an alternate cut of the Storm Alert theme for the teaser and opener.

And if you just want the LF...

Right now only the 2005 SA Theme and its 2006 remix are playing. This hour, the 2005 theme is being used for the 2-minute LFs.

So, are we going to see changes starting today (possibly the Copyright changing to NBC Universal)?
