I still don't like how YWT still plays production music a lot. It makes the show look dead.
That's because the theme they use IS YWT's theme. ;)

Anyways, love the intro :biggrin: but bleh for not changing the music -_-

Sorry, I'm talking about the production music that usually plays at :30 after.

Also, YWT and WUWA no longer uses Orange Lower 3rds and now uses blue/green lower 3rds like Weekend View uses.

I LOVE those graphics! BTW, does anyone else besides me remember where those joggers in the beginning of the opener originally came from? :D

Also for once, the lower third color scheme actually MATCH the opener!

A new brighter-blue lower third color debuted on Saturday during WN (maybe WV?) and its been carried on all shows since then except for FO and WCL

Oh, now I know what you're talking about. I was actually gonna bring up about whether that was a new color they were using for the L3rds coincidentally on the same day they apparently debuted. :P

I'm very confused about the new YWT openers now.  It looks like they have two: one with A&B and one without.  Do A&B not host all 3 hours (or however long it is) of YWT? :blink:

Here's a video I found on YT, courtesy of ImBoredIIDeath, showing the A&B opener.  I much prefer the "production music" used for the other generic opener.

EDIT: Sorry Tavores, I didn't see your previous post on this.  But still, why are there two versions?  It's possible A&B only do like the first hour or two of YWT. :thinking:

Just going by yesterday, I'm assuming A&B do the first two hours (7 and 8am) while whoever is at TWC HD studios does the last hour at 9am (which in that case was Maria and Jen). So I guess essentially there's 4 hosts and they use the opener that doesn't include A&B for the other two hosts which doesn't make sense because they've made it clearly obvious that YWT is an A&B show now and have been for almost 3 years.

Agreed, I definitely prefer the music track used for the "generic" opener. I also prefer the headlines track used in the generic opener (as seen during the 9am ET opener yesterday).

Today  7am-10am ET  Jen did all the 7 Day Forecast segments and Maria did the Weather Headline segments.
So even though Mike and Stephanie are in NYC they are doing some segments from Atlanta.
9am was Jen and Maria only and the studio was very dark. From the desk, to the video wall to the green screen they were all under lit today.

So I assume now that:

6AM-7AM: WUWA - Al Roker & Stephanie Abrams (NYC)
7AM-9AM: YWT - Stephanie Abrams & Mike Bettes (NYC)
9AM-10AM: YWT - Maria LaRosa and Jen Carfagno (Mon-Wed)/Eric Fisher (Th-Fri)   (Atlanta)
10AM-11AM: WUWA Repeat - Al Roker, Stephanie Abrams and Jen Carfagno/Eric Fisher with Live Weather Update. (NYC/Atlanta)

They're using yet another different production track, but I kinda like this one a little better.
