For me the new studio is over shadowed by being on tape 2pm-4am on weekends.

No kidding.  What's the purpose of a new studio if it won't even be seen that much, even if it turns out to look good?  I suppose it will be seen on reruns, but who's going to watch those?  It is kind of neat to see it being put together, though.  :happy:

Yes, but keep in mind that other news networks are doing the same thing. HLN for example is only live between 7am-1pm with prerecorded programming during all other hours on weekends.

Yes I get that but you also need to remember CNN is doing live news on weekends when HLN is not as are other news channels.
For TV weather there are no alternatives for national live weather forecasts on cable TV.
I really hope they do reconsider the weekend schedule after people keep asking them where the live shows are when the new weekend schedule starts in 2 weeks.
At least this coming weekend WLC is on at 10pm and 1am.

the corner where the blue walls are at is to the left of where the video wall was.

Jesse Hamilton, EP for TWC Lost, posted this pic on instagram with the caption

"Big changes coming to The Weather Channel - and it's not only the studio being ripped out. #1week"

Only 6 Days to go! I'm surprised they havent tested the LDL/L Bar during DP like they used ti do with the 33% LDL long ago when they used it for longform. There's also been no commercials yet. They did commercials for the June 2008 HD Launch and the 33% LDL longform
As of right now, no promos today and no GFC.

I'm guessing they might be taking down the tropical storm backgrounds from the GFC walls.
Kinda odd for them to be covering winter storms with images of hurricanes and palm trees in the background on the walls.

interesting when they interviewed people who saw the WATT, one person said it should appeal to a younger crowd. Is that good or bad? Also Jim Cantore mentioned he liked that you get your local forecast all the time, you don't have to wait for your local on the 8s. Not groundbreaking... just thought provoking.

In my honest opinion, that's just 1 person's point of view but if TWC asked me the same question i would say it would appeal to the older generation. The graphics are basically a way to compete with the NBC, ABC, CBS and FOX graphics updates and Studio revamps over the years. One example that comes to mind is what happened to "Shepard Smith Reporting's" studio with a futuristic feel.

Paul posted two photos of the studio this afternoon.

The video wall area now has wood walls and floors. To the left there is a giant circular thing that I'm guessing might project video or be able to change colors.
To the right of of the video wall it is a wall with LCD screens that are going to be video windows like the NBC stations use behind the anchors.
