I don't know if anyone has noticed, but once in a while on Weekend View they show a glimpse of the video wall and it makes the same effect as the background on the opener. Can't wait to see it in action!

Not sure what is left for them to adjust but the video wall was not used for the 1am WCL, Sunday AM and afternoon.

An update from Kelly on the video wall,
Kelly Cass - They are still working on it. Sometimes with new things, they need to work out the "bugs!"

:offtopic:

I love your graphic about last year's Springfield tornadoes.  I lived in eastern Massachusetts at the time, and, though our weather wasn't nearly as severe as in Springfield and surrounding communities, we still had some nasty weather.  In the middle of the morning we had a torrential downpour with a severe thunderstorm, but that soon passed and the skies were nice and sunny.  After another few hours, all H broke out.

What I find even more amazing is that this was predicted so accurately in advance, so people could prepare for it.  If I recall correctly, Massachusetts was even given a TOR:CON index of 10.

That's exactly what happened in my area!! But I don't recall a TOR:CON of 10 because it's only been issued twice (4/27/11 and 3/2/12). But at the time I was just getting back into watching TWC...

Anyway, getting back on topic, YWT is using the video wall a lot. Looks like it didn't take that long to get out the bugs that Kelly mentioned.

Here's the video wall during YWT.

My overall comment is the studio is to dark.

For the 4pm Weather Center Live the studio was only used at 4:20pm then back to the GFC at 4:30pm.

For Weekend View the video wall was behind the desk. At 11am they have turned the desk so it's away from the video wall.

Yeah I just updated my post.  It must be easy to move the desk around since they don't have that much time between shows.
The video wall is much nicer then the blue wall.

Do they still use the purple pillar bars during the overnight hours?

I haven't seen purple (or red) in the studio for a while now. I think they only use blue and yellow now.

It appears they have a set studio format for each show weekdays.
Your Weather Today uses the video wall behind the desk.
Day Planner the desk moved so the studio wall is behind the desk.
Weather Center Live 4pm, 7pm, and 10pm has had the video wall behind the desk and at 1am they switch back to the studio wall.
