Everything Else TWC / Re: New ads showing the HD studio and new YWT logo

« on: May 20, 2008, 07:29:08 PM »

It looks like the walls in the studio change color, as well. In the YWT ad, it looks like the set is more yellow; while for EE, it looks like the set is more blue.

That always must be interesting for them...

Apparently it's formatted just like EE now. They just went to break at 6:06 PM CT.

It also looks like they're on a two-camera setup now as opposed to three. The one on the far right has been removed. I wonder if it was an HD camera, and it needed to be moved to the HD studio.

The camera doing the two-person shot today seems to be a bit blurry.

To start the 2 PM CT hour of Weather Center, they used the PM Edition music during the teaser.

Yeah, I saw that. I figured they'd have to fix it as they got ready to go live.

HD feed is fine as well now.

Woah, that got really weird at 1:58 AM CT. First the HD LF played on the SD channel per the norm tonight, but then suddenly Adam Berg's EEWC from Sunday night started playing! Then the feed kept switching between the SD emergency feed and Adam Berg until finally they settled on the emergency feed for the remainder of the LF period. At the top of the hour, *tonight's* EEWC started playing again, but everyone is still seeing the HD feed.

I'll be recording the SD feed until 5 AM CT, including the hour with the aforementioned error.

I need to sleep at some point. Hurry up and fix this! (hopefully with Trammell playing at some point)

Now a recording of the 11:08 PM CT HD LF is playing on both the HD and SD channels. WTF? I wish someone with a STAR was up to tell us if the LF is cuing or not. It seems, however, that everyone is watching the HD feed right now, meaning that no STARs are currently active. The DirecTV SD Intellistar certainly isn't working right now.

This is the same sort of thing we saw around the holidays when they instituted that annoying Travel Box graphic. They better not be pulling any of that again.

1:03 CT - The HD channel tried to do an LF, but the screen went black and switched over to the rebroadcast of EEWC already in progress.

The HD channel is falling apart. SD is showing EEWC; HD is showing commercials right now.

Local Forecast / HD LF issues

I don't think there's a thread like this here, so here it is.

The HD LF just failed massively during the 12:38 AM CT LF. Remember how the SD one froze the weekend before last? Now the HD LF is frozen on the national outlook for Tuesday (from the 1-minute flavor). Two minutes of staring at the national map is always fun. I wonder if they have someone monitoring the HD LF right now to spot this problem.

Rich was right there about the Indy 500 being Sunday, but then he asked someone off camera (sounded like he might've said "Cheryl"), and he then said that it will actually be on Memorial Day. Should've stuck with your guts, Rich.

I also turned on the closed captioning for that part of the show, and I had to laugh when the closed captioner mistyped "They'll have a race" as "A hell of a..."

Well, we won't be hearing many (if at all) catchphrases tonight. Rich has no co-anchor to play off of tonight.
