Wow, I'm watching Sportscenter on ESPN right now and they've got Adam Berg on there giving the forecast for tonights football game between the Patriots and Jets. 

On a Disney network; one of NBC Universal's competitors? O_o

As if TWC just wants to insult my prediction, Carl and Adam anchored EE, and Rich is solo tonight while Sharon takes a load off.

My schedule was off again for the evening; this time I had it reversed. Carl was in the studio for A&B/early EE, then when it was time to preview regular EE, we heard, "All right, gang, let's see what's comin' up tonight on Evening Edition."

So for tomorrow, either someone who's currently off is going to need to come back, or they're going to need to call someone in or have someone go solo. I guess we'll see how it turns out.

No, she's just a reporter who's been asked to fill the seat in an emergency, which is why she's just delegating segments rather than doing any maps.

From the looks of it, Paul took off in an emergency since he still hasn't showed up in the broadcast as of this posting.

We already had that strange A&B with Abrams and Bettes in the field and Carl in the studio, but now EE comes, and...

Carl and JULIE MARTIN are hosting?!?

Yes, you heard that right, yet Paul's voice is in the teaser. This is just outright confusing; I guess we'll see what happens...

Programming and Graphics / Special Edition of Abrams & Bettes tonight

« on: November 11, 2008, 07:20:17 PM »

Tonight for A&B, they're doing a special Hurricane Season 2008 recap featuring Steph and Mike in New Orleans and Houston, respectively. Carl Parker is back in the studio holding down the fort.

They did this for Ike coverage, but I never thought they'd intentionally do a setup like this.

Programming and Graphics / TWC tagging along for NBC's Green Week

« on: November 11, 2008, 12:35:51 PM »

All of the green ads you've been seeing on TWC since yesterday aren't random; this year, TWC is going to be a part of NBC's Green Week, and as a result, TWC is going to be promoting environmental friendliness like crazy next week, according to the ads that launched today, and they will also be airing special weekday episodes of Forecast Earth (it better be during current long-form slots is all I'm saying). Like the rest of the NBC family, they might even turn the TWC logo green. (if they update the Intellistars to do this)

Yes indeed it did; note the incorrect declaration of "LIVE" in the new opener...

Wow, Carl Parker's reputation as the AMAZING FACTS GUY really held true tonight. When they went to introduce him tonight at the end of the early Evening Edition, he immediately picked up his pen, turned toward Mike, Steph, and the viewers and was like, "Do you know how thick lightning is? Well, it's *this* thick! Amazing stuff." Ahh, good ol' Carl. Rock on.

except on Mondays in an emergency, but never on Chooseday. On Chooseday, Adam gets to CHOOSE not to go to work.

Mike Seidel and Alex Wallace, and they said at the end of the show that they'll also be hosting tomorrow.
