Could they be using a different control for some reason? (updating the one they usually use for EE?)

Do you remember if both control rooms had a camera in them and a TWC logo on the wall?

There's a huge new screen in the control room. When I say huge, I mean MASSIVE! Are they going to be producing the HD shows from in there.

Pics/video to come later.

Edit: There are actually TWO massive screens, each suspended side-by-side above the front row of people in the room.

Again Carl and Kristin are doing the first hour of PME today. I guess it's because Cheryl is off, and one member of the PME/EE crew has to fill in for her. They never used to do this, but maybe it's new policy.

Today on Weekend Outlook, they actually played the acoustic theme that they used to use on the full controlled edition. It all has voices talking over it, though. I can post some clips after I wake up today.

What I meant is that normally the same team anchors both hours of PM Edition, so one recorded teaser can be used for both hours of PME; since that's not the case tonight, they decided not to waste their time making two recorded teasers for each set of anchors.

Interesting, Carl Parker and Kristin Dodd are hosting the first hour of PM Edition tonight.

Also, apparently, they're not using a pre-recorded teaser tonight for some reason.

That is very weird. I wonder what happened to the next shift...

As for the lack of a pre-recorded teaser; normally that would be done only by whatever crew is hosting the full controlled hour, from what I can tell.

Carl needs some time off; he's worked almost all (if not all) of last week stretching back to last Saturday; now he's working overtime today.

I didn't mean to sound rude or anything; if I did, I'm sorry.

I'm just saying that people were saying that Eboni being on Weekend Now even though she's been on there probably over half the weekends this year; that's all.

You people obviously must not watch TWC on weekend mornings much because Eboni winds up filling in on Weekend Now almost every single weekend due to wither Kevin or Jennifer not being available. In today's case, Jennifer filled in for Samantha on Weekend View.

WxClassroom was always listed like that despite its 30 minute run time.

I still think it might be gone for good despite what that says.

Now there's commercials after the LF. >_>

Edit, 1:42 AM CT: Since then, there have been numerous TWC commercials where they don't belong and no use of LF openers. Master is right well ****ed right now.

Edit, 1:48 CT: Still no LF openers.

Edit, 2:16 CT: The recorded national segment just went off the air at 2:16! Like I said, really ****ed up.

I fell asleep during NASCAR and just woke up.

Did they just start this current LF without an opener?

Programming and Graphics / New Q2 programming schedule released

« on: April 11, 2008, 11:13:32 PM »

The earlier posting of the new HD studio construction video on twcmediakit.com led me to check the site for further updates, and sure enough, the schedule has been tweaked a little. We now know that the Tuesday airings of Epic and WxVentures have not been accidental; those shows are now getting the limelight on Tuesday, and in addition to that, both shows will also replace ICHT and FFN respectively on weekend afternoons, meaning that ICHT and FFN are now off the regular schedule.

Nice new video; finally we get an idea of what the new studio will look like. Now it's time to wonder how the various parts will be implemented.

After seeing that second picture, I'm starting to agree with the theory about that font for Memphis being different.
