Just now as they were having issues with the Hurricane Hunters Google Earth graphic...

Did Adam just welcome us back to "Evening Edition West Coast"?

Just now...

Adam: That's the latest on Ike; now let's see what else Sharon has for us.

Sharon: All right, let's check it out.

Sharon Resultan and Adam Berg are up next.

Yeah, let's dive right in and do that, gang!

edit: If they're going to go live all night, I wonder who will step in at 2 AM ET and do updates from there on?

Should be Rich, just like during Hanna. Adam might stick around for that as well just as it was for Hanna.

They've also got the Storm Alert logo on the TWC website for this one. They're making a much bigger deal out of Ike than they did with Gustav.

It guess this shouldn't be much of a surprise since history tends to repeat itself. Gustav served as a sort of "Katrina" in terms of generating the hurricane hype; now Ike is sort of a Rita with the same projected landfall day and time (early morning Saturday). What did they do for Rita? They went into Storm Alert at 9 PM Thursday night; this is pretty much the same thing, just two hours earlier because A&B wasn't around back in 2005.

No, I didn't.

Master Controlled WC is pretty much the same as Full Controlled WC nowadays.

People need to be more familiar with all of the definitions of the word "rape". It is true that America in general tends to focus on the most popular and negative definition of a given word and assume that's the only meaning of the word. Stuff like that gives this country a bad image.

Hey, I missed the part where you changed your username; it took me several more days of reading posts to actually figure out who you were.

(A drop shadow is where the TWC logo casts a small shadow off to the right of itself.)

Everything Else TWC / CBS News reporters - not gone yet!

« on: September 10, 2008, 06:14:56 PM »

Even though NBC and TWC obviously have a preliminary deal to start sharing resources before the official acquisition, it seems as though TWC has decided to not cut off its use of outside resources until the deal is final; they just did featured a live CBS report during this past segment, and I'm pretty sure they also did the same during Hanna coverage. It's good to see that TWC is acting independently while they still can.

Isn't the clock bigger, or didn't DirecTV receive the update?
