Yeah, the text was close to riding the very bottom of the screen, which is what distracted me from noticing the other issue that you noticed.

Oh, I know what you mean, but the lower third was also displayed far lower than normal (in the area normally covered by the LDL).

at the top of the 8:00 o'clock hour (CDT) one lowerthird during the teaser was cut off of the left side of the screen. i thought it was rather interesting.

When I saw it, it was cut off at the bottom. Is that what you meant?

And to possibly piggyback the previous, there was no opener at 9:00 for the double-E.

What did they do instead? Straight to the studio?

I think we set a new record for longest PM Edition opener ever, and on full control at that! When they cued the opener at 5:30 PM CT, it wound up lasting for about 25 seconds! Even Betty Davis laughed afterward at how ridiculously long that was. Video to come later.

I have a feeling Mark might be nearing retirement; he's put in a god 26 years thus far, and he's only on TV on Sundays at this point (rarely on Saturdays, as well)

Apparently he also appears on weather.com, but I don't check weather.com every day.

Local Forecast / Re: Trammell Sightings

Since I am blessed yet cursed with satellite, I can tell you exactly why we had that Trammell error; as it turns out, the satellite LF computer failed at the start of the 9:08 PM CT LF, so they switched to the emergency feed just so that the satellite viewers would see *something* instead of just a black screen.

I don't know, I'm pretty sure Paul will stay on EE. He's been on the show since the beginning, and I'm pretty sure TWC considers him to be the fabric of the show. He almost left the network once, so they'd probably do whatever they can to keep him around.

I remember that...wasn't it when he was asked to be interviewed be WABC-TV (i think?) for potential chief meteorologist at WABC-TV (?)

idk someone can clear that up because i'm sure something isn't right hahaha.

Yeah, that's right.

OCMs & Personalities / Steph & Mike matching each other and the set tonight

« on: March 11, 2008, 07:11:01 PM »

At the start of A&B, Steph pointed out that her and Mike decided to match tonight by wearing orange, which, as they pointed out, also matches the set and the graphics. They also gave the viewers a little FYI that Heather and Marshall match outfits every morning on Your Weather Today.

Well, considering the HD relaunch will likely be paired with new graphics, expect some sort of a graphics overhaul. Whether or not the format stays the same remains to be seen.

Hey guys, I was wondering if TWC HD will be in ever cable tv program. I guess Comcast wants more Sports Channels than important Weather.

It's coming, but Comcast might be holding out until the HD Star launches.

Programming and Graphics / Re: "When Weather Changed History" most viewed show in TWC history

« on: March 10, 2008, 05:06:59 PM »

Okay, the LF opener change is done, at least for this week and next week since next week is "Tornado Preparedness Week" (as opposed to just "Tornado Week").

I wonder what it'll be like and what shows will be featured. Apparently Tornado Preparedness programming will be replacing WWCH next week.
