Yeah, the YWT anchor stands at the Winter Weather/Hurricane Central podium.

Yesterday and today, it appears that the GFC has been covered up by a more opaque glass yet again, just like in early 2007. I'm guessing it was done since 1B, which had the primary camera shot with the GFC in the background, isn't being used any longer. Do the folks in the GFC not like the more clear glass that used to be up there or something? Did they find it distracting?

That was an interesting camera shot in the WV studio when going to this current break; we could actually see the hallway leading into the studio.

Programming and Graphics / You can't spell "Weekend View" without "Vu".

Actually, you can, and they seem to be doing just that today as Bill Keneely and Samantha Mohr host the show on their own today, but what's different this time is that no mention of Dao Vu's name has been made at all, and as far as I know, Julie Martin should be available to host if need be. Have they decided to take Weekend View in a new direction - one without a host who serves no real purpose? I guess time will tell.

There's some kind of weird thing with Master and the LIVE tag on the Hurricane Central key wall such that the LIVE tag used with that camera is different than the one used on the rest of the broadcast. I don't know why exactly it's set up that way, but I first noticed the inverse issue on Monday during Weather Center in which the LIVE tag would turn off when they went to the Hurricane Central wall. They had that fixed for Tuesday's show this week.

He never used to, but he did so again today. The color was black.

Interesting. My HD feed was acting up around that time. For no apparent reason at 12:48 AM CT, my HD LF cut to the emergency feed about halfway through, then during the LF you mentioned, it cut to the emergency feed for a split second during the quiet period before Fair Weather but after track 15 but switched back to the HD LF before Fair Weather started. Again, there seemed to be no reason for that.

While the Tornado Warnings were going on before, Rich said "Let's do that" in the most monotone and grim voice I've ever heard out of him.

« on: April 04, 2008, 02:45:37 AM »It appears that they're live once again at 2:10 AM ET, though there was no LIVE tag. Rich was showing a radar map and severe t'storm warnings.
Edit:
At 2:20 AM ET, they showed the Weekly Planner segment that played at 12:20 AM ET, complete with quiet Weekly Planner open, and mis-queued SkyTracker.
@ First part: Yeah, they probably figured they ought to go live during the parts that were live before.
@ second part: Doesn't master realize they should've thrown that segment out after what happened? Apparently not.

It looks like they've decided to quit the live broadcasts.

« on: April 04, 2008, 12:24:18 AM »Still live coverage on EEWC for the Weekly Planner at 12:20 AM ET.
They didn't mean to do that, though. Someone accidentally sourced SkyTracker instead of WPS; now they'll probably go live at 1:20 CT or just use the 12:20 segment at 1:20.

I know. That scared the you-know-what out of me when I first heard that.
They're doing live segments all four hours tonight, so at least we won't have to deal with that again.
A few minutes ago, Paul Goodloe even got into the EEWC action when he ran a new tornado warning over to Rich. It sounded like when Paul was approaching Rich, Rich said, "Seriously?" (As if he couldn't believe another warning just got issued)
