Why isn't Cantore in HD like they said he'd be for A&B?

As for the studio, the issue might be that the new graphics clash horribly with the red/orange/yellow A&B set.

And the WeatherReady sponsor graphic is now in HD.

What Al said. :P

The opener is quite impressive, and Mike's wearing a tie now. :P

A&B has been kicked out to 1A; they're using blue graphics, and they're going HD two weeks from today.

Unless the SD shows are actually using SkyTracker disguised as Titan; not sure if that's the case.
This morning during First Outlook, Cheryl asked for SkyX (I forget the number, it might have been Sky2). I also saw a few cities on the radar still using the Interstate font, and not Helvetica, like they might have manually updated the fonts on all the main cities and forgot a few.

Edit: Forgot to mention: On First Outlook during the 6:50 AM ET Tropical Update, they were still obviously using WPS for an infrared satellite view, complete with old titlebars.

I agree with you on all of that. :P

Only YWT and EE are in HD for now; everything else will roll out gradually.

Betty Davis just controlled Titan using the small sliver wired clicker. Haven't seen that yet today.

OCMs & Personalities / Re: Sarah Libby

she used to host PM Edition Weekend along side Adam Berg, IIRC.

They would actually work opposite each other, usually. Sarah would usually appear on Saturday while Adam appeared on Sunday; both of them usually worked alongside Stephanie Abrams or other OCMs who worked weekends at the time. I do believe Sarah and Adam did work together at least once, though.

It looks like you may be happy then.

Today we have Cheryl Lemke filling in for Jeff Morrow; she might wind up being the new Travel Analyst.

So...

After Bob Stokes burned through Melissa Barrington and Hillary Andrews as partners, he was paired up with Cheryl Lemke.

Then, Cheryl is banished to evening edition west coast weekend, probably the least desirable slot on the whole network (similar to Melissa and Hillary being banished to EEWC Weekday)

Suddenly after nearly two years solely on EEWC Weekend, and weeks after Hillary's settlement is revealed, Cheryl is suddenly appearing again in higher profile timeslots.

Methinks Cheryl was also sexually harassed, complained, got banished like the first two, kept her mouth shut on EEWC, and when Hillary's settlement was made public, she said something and got herself moved off the shift.

Pretty interesting, isn't it? Interesting perspective.

In simple terms, Kevin Robinson just basically said that as storms move southeast, they move toward the east. I don't think that came out quite right.

(Perhaps they actually move westward? :P)

And now Viz|Weather just locked up for the first time today, leaving Jennifer with nothing but Titan Radar since all of the maps are on Viz now.

The segment formerly known as "Weekend Outlook" prior to 2003 has officially made a comeback this era in the form of the "Weekend Forecast" segment so as to not interfere with with show "Weekend Outlook".

That would have made sense for sure, but we were fooled. I guess I'll have to record every single day until she's gone.

Although, come to think of it, I'd guess they wanted to preserve the first look at the HD appearance until YWT began. Still doesn't explain why it took a half hour to get the DP L3s going.
