Did master control loose the openers for EEWC? To start the past two segments, there was just a black screen instead of showing the Travel or Weekly Planner openers.
My super-awesome website!

They're probably just having trouble cueing them. :yes:

Don't know if anyone's seen this before, but on the old Abrams & Bettes site, there is a large interactive panoramic view of the old A&B set.

http://www.weather.com/aboutus/television/abramsandbettes/index.html

Click on "Interactive Experience" then on the popup window, click "Inside look behind the scenes." There should be a picture of the old set, then hover over the edges of the picture to scroll left or right.

The panorama spans from the main desk around the entire studio to the key wall.

I can't even get to work now, but that's been there since the show began.

Wow, that is really weird. I wonder if they'll be doing PME as well. That would be Kelly's first show in HD.

Also, I noticed that for Independence Day, they've brought back the big American flag in Studio 1A that was always next to the right hand pillar until 2006.

They have/had a flag near the GFC too, didn't they?

They used to have two, then they cut it down to just the GFC one in 2006.

I guess we'll see a different team for PME, then.

Yeah, both flags are back in the studio again.

Wow, so maybe they were rehearsing for HD on those two days of extra long-form programming?

Apparently Nick hasn't rehearsed enough; his pointing is *way* off target.
