AFAIK, the noise made during the new PME openers is part of the PME package. PME used to use the theme music for the segment openers while in studio 1A, but apparently production is different in the HD studio.

I'm guessing it was like that since the June 2 relaunch. I know before that they had a 7 Day Business Planner that had precipitation forecasts, followed by another segment called 7 Day Business Planner Temperatures.

No, it was never like that until this week. I think I saw this done on other shows as well, but I'm not sure.

Does First Outlook still do the Business Week Barometer and the International Business Travel segments?

They still do the Business Week Barometer every Tuesday and Thursday, but I think there's no longer a special name for the International segment.

11:12 PM CT

Sharon: Now let's head over to Rich who has a look at Travel.

Rich: All right, let's do that.

It seems they're on a roll tonight! (it happens every now and then for some odd reason.)

Today was move-in day at Illinois Wesleyan here, so I'm pretty much settled into my dorm now.
I remember someone here saying how now I may be finally able to experience an Intellistar, but alas, that's not the case; they have Dish Network here.

I did, however, get to experience the Bloomington-Normal Intellistar at at the hotel I stayed at last night. There's no Traffic on it, and according to the station ID, TWC there is provided on channel 2 (through Comcast). Has anyone ever heard of this before?

During the 10:25 CT Weekly Planner, Rich responded to the same line from Sharon with the original line: "Yeah, let's do that."

Did Paul and Alex do the show from the EE setup or the EEWC setup?

AFAIK, it's only one episode. Not saying this for sure, but I think that's the case.

Apparently they're using the rotation schedule again like they did before. Betty and Sam are coming up at the top of the hour.

Fay is yet another weak storm. This country is really lucking out again this year.

Yes, EE Weekend uses the same setup as weekday EE for their respective regular editions and West Coast editions.

Storm Session will also air at 2 AM ET, just like all of the other long-form programming that airs in place of EE. I think the whole thing about it being on at 2 PM ET tomorrow is a mistake since they would ideally premiere the show during primetime. The ad probably really was supposed to be for Wednesday and Thursday when Storm Session will air at *all* of the aforementioned times.

I just heard a slow version of the Tropical theme when going to this break. I've never heard it before; is it new?

Adam and Kristin will probably handle both hours of regular EE, then they'll probably run WWCH at 11 PM ET, followed by EEAD with Adam and Kristin as usual.

Yep, they're preparing for preemption starting tonight. The Fay ticker is already saying that live reports will be starting at 7 PM ET, so we definitely won't be seeing the 7 PM hour of Forecast Earth or WWCH later on, but we still might see the 5 PM ET hour of Forecast Earth. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

My guess is that Carl and Kristina will handle all of the hours of PME while Kristin and the gang leader handle all of EE (and EEAD).
