Your Local Weather / Re: Chicagoland Weather
« on: August 05, 2008, 12:29:57 AM »That's the best way to describe it.Most horrifying storm of my life.Not mine, but probably the second most horrifying. The sky was totally green here. The lightning was almost constant, and REALLY close too. Our power went out for about 5 minutes, the longest it's ever gone out, that I can remember. It was absolutely insane.
EE covered the storms better when they came closer to downtown Chicago. But before they came that close, every time I'd look to see an update, it was always put off and aired after the Eduardo segment. All I'm saying is that if this happened in DFW, OKC, KC, or ATL, they would be covering it ahead of Eduardo.
Damage was found in a path from the Kennedy Expy. to Cumberland Ave. and into Lincolnwood and Park Ridge. Other reports came from Logan Square and Humboldt. Possibly 2 seperate tornadoes or a funnel touching down at multiple points and then going back up into the cloud.
More storms rolling through as I type this. I need to sleep already!

Huge storms with tornadoes just passed from Elgin to Elmhurst to O'Hare Airport to Logan Square and Lake Michigan. A tornado must have passed just south of my house and expressway. We had funnel clouds over head and the sky got blood red.
Most horrifying storm of my life.
Hope everyone else is doing okay, especially at Wrigley Field where the CUBS game was in-play (reminds me of the ICHT episode about Chicago tornado, but not just as severe, thank God) and watch out Indiana and Michigan. We were fortunate to keep our power here, but it came close about 3-4 times to going out.
Cantore said that Chicago is under a "Possible Dangerous Situation" watch; something he said he's never seen in his 23 years at TWC. This must be a classification above a Tornado Watch because one wasn't issued for the area. We had a Severe T-Storm Watch out for the area before these storms blew through and now were under the "PDS" watch.
What upsets me is that TWC cared more about Eduardo near Galveston than the tornado here in Chicago. This happened for the 2nd time; the other being in early June. I bet you if this occured over Dallas, OKC, or K.C. TWC would be wall-to-wall coverage of it. But not Chicago. The local stations here didn't break in. NBC, ABC, CBS, and FOX are doing terrible in the ratings (all trail WGN in all dayparts by a VERY large margin) and this could have helped to put them over the top. I guess we're just not that important.

OCMs & Personalities / Re: Marshall Seese to retire in November
« on: July 22, 2008, 01:37:06 PM »
Wow, I never expected this. 
Heather and Marshall are one of those things that you think will never be broken up, and then they are. This kind of gives me the same feeling as the last day of summer vacation.
I think that Heather, Nicole, and Eboni will be the new hosts. They've expermented with this many times when Marshall was out for the day/week. I would have said that Jen Carfagno would have been in place of Eboni, but she was recently promoted herself, so she's out of the equation. I like Bill and I think he'd be okay on YWT. But Nick or Carl are other options.
With all the extra time Marshall will have I bet he'll be playing golf a lot more often. Maybe TWC could do a segment with him: something like "Marshall Seese: From the Golf Course." Yeah I know it's stupid but that way we would still get to see him on TWC.

He was (most likely) being sarcastic people!
It's nice to see that TWC might stop whining about the drought in the southeast.

Everything Else TWC / Re: Show Ratings
« on: July 16, 2008, 05:29:15 PM »Plus, they're not the best OCM's in my opinion.Wow, the ratings for A&B are much less than what I expected.A&B has so much working against it:
Eastern (7-9): Typical syndicated fare (namely Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy!), then first hour of prime/eastern sporting events starting
Central (6-8): Local News, mostly Wheel of Fortune, then first hour of prime
Mountain (5-7): Local/National news
Pacific (4-6): People still at work at 4, news at 5
Maybe if First Outlook would go back to the original format they used from 2000-2003, they would get more viewers.

« on: July 11, 2008, 05:18:46 PM »Wow, Jen is wearing shorts this morning. I don't believe I've ever seen that on TWC before.
They're short shorts, too!
Does anyone have any pictures of her from today? I can always go for a picture of Jen any day!
(Ok, I'm kidding on that point; they're knee-length shorts.)

« on: July 10, 2008, 11:32:04 PM »I was thinking the same thing last night when I read this, but I didn't post anything because Chris is a new member and isn't used to how things work here yet (no offense).Back to what the topic says, Kim Perez is only on Day Planner with Kevin Robinson Mondays and Tuesdays, otherwise, with Kevin, she's on Weekend Now.

i don't get it...nobody went off topic.

SR, is there any you could upload these, and other clips you post, in Real or Windows Media format? My computer won't play the .avi format.
Thanks! :sunglasses:
Oh, and also, regarding the LF's I'd record: They would be recorded off my digital camera. That means that they won't be in the best or perfect quality. If that's okay, I can start recording them later today or tomorrow.

1. First Outlook elements from 2000 to 2003. These "elements" are the segment openers I recorded off my VHS tapes. If you like these I can make and post other shows like YWT, EE, WN, WC, etc. from the 2000-2003 era.
I also have more clips on my computer, but I can't find them at the moment. Once I do, I'll post them here. If anyone would like to see any other clips of shows from this era (2000-2003), either post requests here or PM me. I have a lot of LF's I can record and post here. But, of course, this will take some time.
Enjoy! :sunglasses:
