I'm guessing these will be used as decorations in the new studio.

I really hope this show works, I barely watch the network anymore.

Me too. Aside from Weekend Recharge sometimes, and an occasional evening when Dave and Alex are on, I haven't been watching either. However, I am really interested to see how this turns out, and that's not something I've said about TWC in a while.

well, we now have a name and date of premiere of the show.

the show will be known as Weather Underground TV, a TV show in which the weather site that TWC bought out 3 years ago will be on at 6-8 ET and this show will debut on Aug 24.

According to Sarah Dillingham's twitter page, she will co-host the show with Mike:

I don't watch TWC much anymore either. I hope the show works too.

Here's a picture of part of the studio from @Wunderground on Twitter. Notice the radar map on that screen... I wonder if they'll be using the older-style maps on this show.

Wow is that set ugly

How unoriginal.

Wow is that set ugly

I agree.  Yikes.  Not sure what look they were aiming for, but the walls look terrible, design and everything, especially with the poles hiding wires clearly visible.  Also not sure what the pinball machine is for.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought so. I know the look is not meant to be bright/colorful obviously, but ruggedness they were going for looks kinda bland to me.

Well this for sure should attract viewers.

What the heck!  That doesn't even look like wallpaper, just plain filthy wall that you'd see in an vacant basement.

They said it was supposed to look like an Underground bar, but it really does look like a basement.

Yuck! That set does look terrible!  Based on the walls and the wooden desk, this set kinda looks like it was converted from an old bar or pizza parlor. The 'Twister' pinball machine itself probably came from one of those places or who knows where else.

[alex979]

Yikes. The graphics are not much better.

[TheStormExpert]

Looks like they are taking the whole Weather"Underground" too far.

[tpirfan28]

...I like it...casual set for a casual show.

Yeah, it really does look like they're actually in a basement.  I presume that was probably intentional, but I still don't like it.

Is this still Studio 1C?  I can't make out the finished version from the "in progress" version that was posted earlier this month: http://360.io/ma4gze.
