They just used the pre-Lifestyles 3-box where the two upcoming segments are displayed on the right and a map is displayed in the big frame. I haven't seen that since weekday full controlled WC was discontinued.

TWC continues to be shorthanded again today. They've called in Ray Stagich to work Weekend Outlook; normally he only works Saturday.

BTW, the male:female OCM ratio yesterday was 8:3. Normally it would be 5:6 on a weekend. That's a huge difference!

To add to that, Kristin Dodd is strangely Ray's partner today for the final two hours of WO.

Just a few seconds ago, Ray had to excuse himself when he said, "Today's not going to be a very nice Saturday...excuse me...Sunday. I'm usually here on Saturday so I got a little confused there."

Local Forecast / Re: TWC HD STAR shot?

Well, it's kind of hard to read when the font is this small (ok, smaller than that). And I've been SO accomodated to metro forecast/regional forecast (or 3 day forecast)/precip/thunder (severe weather alerts)/radar and sattelite we've seen over the last 5 years.

Besides, why are satellite viewers gypped of an LDL from what I've seen?

We don't have a Star. The HD LF runs completely from Atlanta.

Just like most people like the HD LF, most people also hate the LDL. You must be the polar opposite of the majority.

That must mean I'm twice as important!

So in this sense, you're referring to the HD shots of nature in that clip that probably came from Epic Conditions and Weather Ventures?

They always do for the first hour of PME Weekend. I take it you don't watch TWC weekend shows much?

It's always been used on weekends during this time.

I like the HD STAR if that's what it will look like. The LDL seems like it might be a bit large on the side, and I'm surprised that the logo is on the left.

The 4-person thing never seems to work. They tried it with EE, EE Weekend, and Weekend:NOW.

My mind has drawn a blank.  I can't even think of who was on the Weekend editoin of Evening Edition.  Steve, can you refresh my memory?

I actually forgot about the existence of that format myself until I found a tape of it last year. EE Weekend featured Carl Parker, Sharon Resultan, Dave Schwartz, and Lisa Mozer. Within several months, however, the format was broken up as Carl went to weeknight EE, Rick Griffin and Sharon took EE Weekend, and Dave and Lisa took EEWC. Not long after that, Lisa left TWC and was replaced by Sandra Diaz.

We don't know. We'll see what happens next weekend if she's not on there tomorrow.

EE Weekend gave it up first, then EE gave it up when Jim came on the show, and finally Weekend:NOW became Weekend Planner, and the four-person format was dropped shortly after.

Weekend View technically started with four people, with Steph being out in the field. Now we might even be down to two if Dao left.
