At 11:44, the national audio finally comes back.

Who is that guy: Carl or Rich?

I believe it's Carl.

Here's Carl and Rich in the same shot:



I'll have a video up shortly. It's about 24 minutes long.

One would have to assume its Carl, since he's wearing his jacket in that shot and Rich is not.

Here's the video:

Sorry, I don't have the first minute or so where the problem developed.

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing!  :sunglasses:

At 12:10 AM ET on EEWC, they played the PM Edition Travel opener.

Adam didn't even get to say goodbye to the gang tonight on EEWC. Instead the last segment anticlimactically went down like this:

*return from break*
Adam: Hey, Everybody! Your Sunday Outlook is coming up right n...
*show cuts to break, ends*

Yes, that all happened within five seconds. Someone really screwed up the timing on that. The only thing I could think is that someone programmed Saturn incorrectly; I noticed that the break leading up to that final segment lasted much longer than it should have.

wow...they are having some superb problems just now.  When they came back at 1, there was no audio.  Trammell kicked in for a little bit (30 sec or so), then they cut to Dr Forbes, who's audio was out.  Finally, they got to Carl who was bewildered as to what happened.  Now the audio is getting all messed up...

[beanboy89]

Looks like some continuing problems this hour too. We're getting a satellite LF with Trammell. But hey, I'm not complaining; this is better than Storm Stories.

At 2:04 PM ET, Carl and Vivian cut in with Weather Center.

[beanboy89]

At 12:01 AM ET, they used the old-style thinner lower thirds (not sure which show they were from), but appeared to be from the 2003-2005 era. I'll have to get a shot of it when they re-air it at 2:00 AM ET.

I just posted about this in the other thread. It's a frozen EE 05-07 background that's being used.

[beanboy89]

At 7 PM ET, they showed the PM Edition Opener and pre-recorded PME teasers instead of the A&B openers and teasers.

[Spring Rubber]

I think we set a new record for longest PM Edition opener ever, and on full control at that! When they cued the opener at 5:30 PM CT, it wound up lasting for about 25 seconds! Even Betty Davis laughed afterward at how ridiculously long that was. Video to come later.

And to possibly piggyback the previous, there was no opener at 9:00 for the double-E.
