He has a very distinctive style of playing LF music when they come back from break and go to break, in addition to using non-standard transitional effects; Adam Berg and Bob Stokes (when he was still at TWC) have identified him for us in the past; Cheryl's not the sort to do that, and I'm guessing she also won't say anything about the studio if this is indeed their last broadcast from there.

Well, EEWC, presumably the last show from 1B, is on the air now with Cheryl Lemke as OCM with the great Dwight Milliner in Master Control, who introduced the show with that violin-sounding song from the current playlist. Is that a Bradley Joseph song?
The only song with a violin I can think of this month is "A Great Day" by Miles Stiebel.
Here's a satellite clip.

Well, possibly the last broadcast from 1B has concluded, and Cheryl mentioned nothing about the studio...

That was an early finish. Somehow they wound up running two minutes ahead of schedule.

Well, it finally happened. Studio 1B is over and done with. Nick Walker is doing the first hour of First Outlook from the big desk. (1A)

And yes, the thing that Kim and Jen accidentally told us that "they think we'll like" is indeed nothing but studio 1A (big desk).

Why are they using the YWT backdrop? They have an orange backdrop they can use (or is the FO backdrop smaller than the others?). The yellow backdrop doesn't match with First Outlook's orange graphics.

They started with the EE backdrop and then switched to the YWT backdrop.

Only the side wall has an FO backdrop.

You may be right about that, however I want you to know that everything that takes place in master, no matter what the event, let it be a music change, element change, missing music, missing lower third, extra lower third, missing bug, anything that doesnt go to the preset schedule at all must be logged, which is a pain in the ass meaning almost all MCO's must stick to the schedule set by the Traffic Coordinator (Karen Frederick) she plans everything from which commercials will play back to which music, bugs, and elements are used. These are usually schedule a week in advance. This meaning, it could really be anyone.

A lot has changed in master these days though. The new production format is almost akin to what can be done from the normal control room, and there has to be some explanation for why there's such a difference in what a master production looks like at different times of the day. Before June 2006, almost every master production did seem the same, but then all of a sudden we started seeing all kinds of odd camera shots being used as well as the use of transitional effects. Things really took off in June 2007 when the aforementioned new production format started, and shortly thereafter, master gained access to the library of production music that the normal control room had been using since 2006, and we've seen a whole bunch of different production styles come out of master. What could explain why the Saturday edition of PM Edition Weekend is produced so poorly, almost always without music and with tons of glitches, but yet the Sunday edition of PM Edition is produced with tons of music, unique transitional effects, and good production. One night, Adam Berg even complimented Dwight on "his choice" of music for the show.

Has something changed with Master protocol?

Going back and looking at my First Outlook recordings from Monday, I came across this shot they used right before going to break at 5:06 AM ET.

Speaking of shows now being broadcast from the big desk, it'll be nice seeing Weekend Outlook broadcasted from there, for the first time in 2 years or so. :yes:

That's always been one of my favorite shots.  I have no clue why though:P  But, I just like it.  Glad they showed that shot.
