Changes in First Outlook come Monday...
« on: March 28, 2008, 10:46:46 AM »
Did anyone watch the last part of First Outlook this morning?  Kim Perez ended the show by saying that this is the last time they'll be broadcasting First Outlook from that set/studio.  She said something along the lines of: "We'll be broadcasting from somewhere else."  "I'm sure you'll like it over there as well." 

This is VERY interesting information.  Could we be possibly looking at First Outlook being the first show being broadcast from the the new Weather Channel HD building?

Post away with your comments and start programming those DVRs!!!!

Hmm..that is very interesting. I was unaware of any plans to begin broadcasting anything from the HD studio THIS soon.

Anyone know anything about this?

Who watches that show anyway? It's on WAY too early. I forgot that TWC was going to be in HD soon.

Actually, I have read that First outlook does really good that early in the morning.  Beats out CNN.  That is sort of why they added the extra hour in the beginning (where just one OCM hosts).

Tyler also mentioned something about this.  This is pretty exciting.  If I remember correctly, all the articles posted insisted as Your Weather Today and Evening Edition being the first.  This is exciting information  :)

What is up with Tyler? Why is he actively taking part in current TWC discussion? Some admin he is. He'd be out of a job if he were my co-admin.  :furious:

I thought Tyler was banned from here? :unsure:

Anyway, I like the graphics and current set of First Outlook, but I'll be looking forward to the new set on Monday. :yes:

No, Tyler isn't banned from here. He has however, lost my friendship. He's been very devious and underhanded (if you want to find out just how much so, search link: twcclassics at Google). He was a big baby over the changes that Matt and I agreed to. He literally acted like a two year old thumb sucker. Obviously, the change has been beneficial to both sites. Now he's trying to stick it to me by intentionally starting and discussing topics related to THIS era of TWC. He invites people to TWCC under the pretense that its a site to talk about current goings on. Thats unethical, and a lie.

Anyways..back to the topic....

I wonder if there will be any other changes on Monday, or it will just be FO?  I could have swore I read that EE and YWT was before FO.  But, I guess Kim said we should like it.

I hope this doesn't mean a new map set. Whenever TWC changes something, 10:1 it's usually for the worst.

I think they wouldn't.  They may.  But didn't they, in the recent couple of years, already change the maps?

I wouldn't be surprised to see the maps changed again. In fact, I'd be surprised NOT to see it.

I do still have an account here, but have chosen not to utilize it for obvious reasons. However, I will not let Gary bash me without a rebuttal.

Now he's trying to stick it to me by intentionally starting and discussing topics related to THIS era of TWC. He invites people to TWCC under the pretense that its a site to talk about current goings on. Thats unethical, and a lie.

I've already expressed my thoughts to you and Matt about the agreement you two came up with, so drop it already for God's sake.

 What are you talking about? Isn't that why both sites have an opposing section (TWCC has a "current" thread, and TWCT has a "classic" thread)?? I have every right to start a thread there in that articular "current" forum.

Ahh, sweet misunderstanding.

I didn't say you didn't have a right to post in the Current board. Post away till your fingers turn blue! What I said is very different. You DO NOT have the right to advertise TWCC as something that it is not. That is deceptive and malicious. TWCC is NOT a place for discussing current TWC. It's mission, since coming online, has been to be a place for CLASSIC TWC. Why not work on advertising your site for what it is? I can't imagine that you'd be so uncomfortable with that as to try luring people to your site under false pretenses.
