I think everyone here owes it to themselves to ***** up a storm by using the assistance request form there. TWC needs to at least know that their changes aren't universally popular, especially considering that TWC is now essentially off the air during two big severe weather hours of the day.

This is complete bullcrap. Complete bullcrap.

...and to think the accuracy of the schedule change on June 2nd led us to believe that this one would be just as good.

Oh great, now Jeff and Jen have fallen victim...

5:05 AM CT...

Jen: Now let's head over to Jeff with a look at the Midwest...

Jeff: All right, let's do that.

Now for the 5 AM CT hour, they've switched back to the original music, but they stopped it during the opener and then started it over again.

Now this morning they've dumped the FO intro theme and switched to using the FO segment opener cut for the show opener on both the full and master controlled editions of FO. I wonder what's up with that.

They should bring back Afternoon Outlook! (I'm saying this half kidding, half seriously)

Edit: or at the very least, they should revert to the 06-07 schedule with PME being 3 hours...

Interesting. Dave Schwartz and Ryan Goswick hosted the 8 PM ET hour of PM Edition tonight.

The WC team (Dave and Kristina) hosted that hour last night as well.

The WC team has been doing that shift for the last three weeks for some reason.

I like that day! That's almost as good as RDAY, which is possibly slightly better than IDAY.

Here's how I'd think it will work.

Team 1: 10am-1pm
Team 2: 1pm-4pm
Team 3: 4pm-7pm

(All times Eastern.)

Moving Betty and Sam straight from Studio 1A to the HD studio back to back might be rough, though.

I'm for it.

Adam's got a good future there at TWC as long as TWC doesn't get rid of him the way they get rid of other good OCMs.

Are the EE people a little loopy? They're doing the "Photo Finish" at :25.

Hello! There's a reason A&B does that segment at the end of the show. (Read: the name of the segment)

She showed us the smiley face created by a front on a weekly planner map tonight...

Apparently Steph has added a new example to her repertoire this week. Now she's using an example when she shows rainfall percentages compared to average and tells us something like, "Imagine you're in school and taking a test. You want to get a 100%, right? Well here in Iowa we've got values like 150% and 176%! That would be great if you got that on a test; that would mean you did really well! Unfortunately that's not something we want to see here with all of the flooding."

I saw her use this Wednesday and then again tonight. I guess the whole "lettuce layer" example was getting lonely on her list of rehashed examples.

You know, if we made a drinking game for every time Adam says "everybody", "gang", or "you guys", we'd already be drunk after only an hour and a half of A&B. A couple times tonight, he even said stuff like, "All right, everybody, check this radar out here, gang."
