I mean just look at how PM Edition got shafted for a pointless extra hour of WeatherCenter Live.

It added another pointless hour to WCL, sure, but that could also be seen as a "pointless" show that could simply be better assimilated into another show, like it was.

As of today, they have replaced the big touchscreen video wall in the NYC Studio with a smaller touchscreen LCD TV. It looks better but I wish they would use a green screen in NYC.

New York needs an actual studio and not some corner room.

Today Alex Witt was in studio doing the news headlines.
They must have changed the settings and or added more cameras because they don't match in video level or color.
One of them is a small jib or steady cam and the video is soft.
Another camera is to bright and the other is very grainy.
Video and audio on the LCD screen is 1 or 2 seconds delayed.

EDIT: I didn't want go through and bring up an old thread, so I posted this here.

This is for YWT, but related to WUWA's situation. MIKE is now in NY too for rehearsals for YWT live from New York?

Stephanie Abrams "Yay! My work husband Mike Bettes finally made it to NYC! Rehearsing for YWT live from NY Monday!"

Work husband? Oh the irony of that statement.

I always thought of them more as having a brother/sister relationship. Now I'm all turned upside down that she sees him as a "husband". :unsure:

They've been calling each other that for the last few years, though. Stephanie called herself Mike's work wife in 2010.

Stephanie is not married, right? Actually, I'm not sure if either of them are married.

According to Mike Bettes' Twitter, he is now back in NYC after the Tornado Hunt got suspended.

Lack of anything big for them to chase, I believe.

It is discussed in this thread: https://twctodayforums.com/forums/programming/2012-tornado-hunt/

I believe now that Mike will be in NYC until they resume the tornado hunt.

The new graphics are pretty neat, but that's all I've really got to say about WUWA.

I'm a little annoyed by the WUWA promos on shows such as Weather Center Live.  "Here's a look at what you missed on Wake Up With Al this week..."  Oh, 2 things about weather and the rest celebrities.  SWEET!

And I love how most of these promos imply that everyone missed WUWA, considering they usually say: "Here's what you missed on WUWA this morning..."  Does that mean that no one watches this show anymore? :P

Haha yeah that doesn't make sense.. I also noticed how they have a hook on what's on the next showing of WUWA during the LOT8s openers. I haven't seen them advertise WUWA this much since late 2009. I guess new graphics always means lots of new advertising? :P
