OCMs & Personalities / Samantha Mohr - new co-anchor of PM Edition?

« on: May 13, 2008, 07:03:17 PM »

At the end of the show tonight during the check with Mike Bettes, he welcomed her and said it's a nice "change." The way he said it, it sounds like Sam may be there to stay. Did Kelly go back to being Bill Keneely's partner? That would certainly make for an odd twist of events.

If this is true, then PM Edition really is a revolving door these days.

It's been like that even longer; I think Rich said it even before he teamed up with Sharon, from what I can tell.

They certainly are; apparently the weekend got them all fired up.

11:50 CT:

(5 day forecast for NYC accidentally displays)

Sharon: We're going to New York City first? Okay, we can do that.

Rich: Yeah, let's do that.

11:34 CT:

Rich: Now here's Sharon with a look at the forecast.

Sharon: Okay, let's take a peek at it.

Everything Else TWC / Re: The Weather Channel | HD Discussion

You know, I wonder if the weekend edition will be HD at first or if they'll wait a little while. I also wonder when EEWC will go HD, and today I thought up an unrealistic skit that would be cool to see before the show on the day that EEWC goes HD:

(Rich and Sharon sitting at the studio 1A desk)

Sharon: Ya know, Rich, we've been doing this show together now for over a year and a half, but something feels like it's missing these days. There's just something missing...

Rich: Ya, I kinda get that sense...

Sharon: You know what I think it is?

Rich: What's that?

Sharon: We need to go HD.

Rich: I don't know... I'd kinda miss this old studio...

Sharon: Trust me; that's what we need.

Rich: Well, okay; let's head on over to the HD studio and check it out.

(Rich and Sharon get up and walk out of studio 1A; cut to them entering the HD studio, peripheral lights lit only)

Sharon: So, what do ya think?

Rich: Wow... (in awe) This place is amazing.

Sharon (smiling): So, should we do The Weather Channel Evening Edition?

Rich: Yeah, (dramatic turn toward camera) Let's do that.

(camera pans to a broad view of the studio; all lights turn on; EE opener begins playing on a nearby monitor)

They did the all of WC, and Carl and Betty are doing PME. Lots of vacations going on today, it seems.

This morning on First Outlook, it's Jeff Morrow along with Jen Carfagno, who claims to be in for Kim Perez. Did she misspeak, or did Nick Walker wind up departing from the show instead of Kim?

Programming and Graphics / Re: When is Forecast Earth recorded?

« on: May 12, 2008, 04:03:12 AM »

Wow, Billy; I was just thinking the same exact thing while watching that episode. A good way to tell would be to watch for what tie Mike Bettes is wearing in the episode (I think he's in studio for every single one) and what night he was wearing that tie on A&B. During the very first episode, he was wearing his Wednesday tie, so I have a feeling the day that it's recorded has either changed since then, or it's recorded on a different day every week. Either way, it must be pretty annoying to disassemble the A&B studio mid-week just to have to re-assemble the set to finish off the week.

Well, now that the severe weather has died down, it's time to get to the peaceful "you guys" show that has become typical of Sunday nights as of late. I wonder if Cheryl is ever coming back to EEWC.

Everything Else TWC / Re: Severe WX, TWC only "breaks in" on specials - different areas

As far as I know, TWC retains no bias on that map. Someone must've screwed up there.

Does anyone know who did the 1 PM CT hour?

That's what she said!

Now that would be interesting...

Since the preemption was finally authorized for today, they've jumped into a strange solo-OCM schedule that seems to be on a three-hour rotation, much like the pre-Sept. 2006 schedule. Kristin Dodd, after working the 2 PM CT hour of WWC solo, is back on solo for the 5 PM CT hour of PME.

Are you sure Kristin and Warren were paired today? Every hour has seemed to be solo-OCM to me. I think Warren was solo for the 3 PM CT hour of WWC. Does anyone know who did the 1 PM CT hour?
