Did they have the desk rotated to face the right side of the wall after Dr. Lyons's segment, or did Paul and Alex simply turn to face the camera?

I wonder when they'll turn the desk completely around...

Day Planner opener/teaser (even in its second hour, things still didn't go quite right.)

Didn't the shot behind Alex a few seconds ago look like the shoreline from the 03-05 Day Planner opener shot?

Banned for having an outdated style L3 in your sig.

And to explain the new Daylight Saving Time rules in 2007, Mike Seidel came into Dave and Warren's broadcast holding a clock that he took off the wall.

They're pathetic tonight! The first hour we don't get to start in HD; now the second hour the "studio preview" video freezes. Can we have the morning control room crew back?

Is it me or are they showing less of the studio tonight for EE than they did this morning for YWT?

Possibly, or it's intentional.

They blew it big time at the start of EE. They left the pillar bars up for the first four minutes. Talk about a failure; they should be on top of this stuff.

Yeah, it was running underneath the LF. Surprised that didn't cause chaos.

Did everyone else's LF run despite the LDL being on? On DirecTV SD, the LF LDL overrode the regular LDL.

They waited until the second hour of A&B to announce the new two-hour format. Mike, however, tried to tell us to check our local listings but instead wound up saying, "Check your local dealer."

It must be the memories of working with Sharon Resultan at that very desk coming back to him.

I think Steph even expressed her surprise whens she saw that map.

To be honest, after watching my tapes from YWT this morning, I wasn't too impressed with the projection/video screens. They're just too small in SD and it looked too washed out. Maybe that was my tape, but I'll have to wait to see it live during EE tonight. I just think the chroma key walls look much better.

I agree with you to a large extent. I'll bet to SD viewers that the 1A broadcasts actually look better than the HD broadcasts because of the green screens. The direction they took certainly isn't quite like their "HD Vision" video from March. I wonder if the HD STAR will even look like it's depicted in that video.

I think they should keep A & B's studio. Considering it would be a waste to change it because it's not even 2 years old yet. 

It's way too small for HD. It'll make for a good office, I'm sure. The future is next door in the HD building.
