I think the HD Launch was friggin awesome! Love the new LDL, satellite graphics and the new Evening Edition studios.  :sunglasses:


Weekend View is slated to be in HD starting July 12th.

I think that the new HD launch was the best, and the studios look more better, and they have a lot of space and are colorful.
And, I especially loved EE that night!!!!  :twothumbs:

They need to update the local forecast graphics alot. It was less than a year since they updated the graphics and it's the perfect time to get new coloured graphics on the intellistar. They also need to update that ancient blue LDL and replace the satellite graphics with modern blue "HD" looking maps and titlebars.

What do you mean "ancient blue LDL?" It just came out 2-3 weeks ago. :wacko:

I doubt we'll see much more major changes to the STAR's until TWC is sold.

Anyways back on topic, has the HD Star been released yet? I don't know if it's going to be released on July or not.

I'm joking! I just got flabbergasted that Mike took everything in my one post with such seriousness.

I found it pretty good. The only things that I really didn't like is that the Intellistar still looks like a pile of **** thrown together at the last minute. Also, the thing that bugs me for some reason is that when they switch OCMs during a forcecast, they talk for like 30 seconds before they switch to the other one. Whatever happened to "Alright that's a look at your forecast and here's Mike to talk about the severe storms?"

And Nick Walker really isn't a WC guy either.  :sleeping:
