3:38 - Frozen Dr. Anna Marie opener before emergency LF kicks in - track 12 playing.

The HD LF machine must be screwed up or something; still no sign of it coming back.

I don't know what everyone on SD saw, but over on the HD channel, the failures continue. We saw the LF opener at 3:28 CT, but when it came time for the actual LF, we saw a frozen first frame of the Weather Center sponsor graphic until the emergency feed kicked in and stayed on for the rest of the LF.

Can HD viewers hear Trammell on the lf too?

Yes. In fact back in November HD viewers heard Trammel for several days weeks, while the SD feed had music from the normal playlist.

Fixed.

Even though the SD channel switches back, the HD channel stays on the emergency feed throughout the entire LF. I'm assuming the HD LF can't cue with whatever problems are going on right now. Case in point: at the 3:08 CT LF, the LF music started playing after the dead air where the opener should've played, but the HD LF never cued, so they switched over to the emergency feed.

You got a normal LF on SD? OR was it just that your STAR kicked in? The HD feed stayed on the emergency feed until they went back to the studio.

BTW, as for the station ID, it's back to using the original 2005 music and female voiceover instead of the "Storm Alert ID" music and male voiceover that they started using in the fall of 2007.

That sucks; I didn't get home until afterward. How did they do on their first day together?

BTW, Dave and Viv are together on WC today. At least I've got that to enjoy.

Here we go again...

Hey, did you guys know that Paul from Evening Edition was having some cholesterol problems a few years ago? You wouldn't believe how happy he was when the doctor called him up with his test results and said, "Well, I've got your cholesterol test results here, Paul; it's good and low."

OCMs & Personalities / Kelly Cass makes her Abrams & Bettes debut tonight

« on: March 19, 2008, 10:15:04 PM »

With Mike many miles away at the Grand Canyon tonight, Kelly Cass made her debut on A&B tonight alongside Steph. After her stint on EE a month ago, it seems that Kelly now has the "Primetime fill-in blessing". Previously, Carl was the only one who could fill-in on either show.

Does anyone know who did PME today? Carl? Dave? Betty solo?

You know how normally Jim Cantore stands at the desk while Alexandra sits down, and it looks like they're nearly level with each other? Well, someone tonight decided to let Carl *stand* in Jim's spot next to Alexandra, who was sitting down. He was pretty much towering over her; you could tell the camera operator was having issues deciding how to frame the shot.

The latter, this thing on the top of my head has a lot of TWC information built up in it.

For the first time since last summer, they've pulled out the inset radar in the corner because of all of the severe weather and flooding rain.

No, they're still saying Carl in in for Paul. Maybe it's Paul's vacation time, and him being called in on Saturday was just a freak thing?

Everything Else TWC / Was that an HD camera?

« on: March 18, 2008, 03:13:52 AM »

Right now, they're showing a report with Dr. Forbes in the back of the Abrams & Bettes/Weekend View studio, and the camera right behind him appears to have an HD logo on it. Interesting that such a camera would be in the old building.

Whoever is in master tonight really needs to realize that Sharon's mic is much louder than Rich's mic right now. Every time Sharon comes on, I have to lower my volume to avoid having my ears blown out, and every time Rich comes on, I have to turn the volume back up just to hear him well.
