They just did a nice wide shot angle of the studio where Mike and Forbes were standing.... I didn't realize there was that much space between the video wall and the desk(s)...

Wow, they're showing a Climate Quiz! Haven't seen that since before the HD relaunch...
They've played it a few times since the HD launch. I definitely remember it playing back in August.
My super-awesome website!

Before going to break, they played one of the production tracks my ABC affiliate uses quite often in their promos.

I LOVE the temp maps :D

I give the new precip maps a thumb down as well  :thumbdown:  I'd prefer the solid color.

The new precip maps are pretty hard to see for me. (I keep on thinking there were moving bugs). I also do prefer the solid green color.

does anyone know exactly why Weather Center (after dark, solo OCM) has failed each and every night since it's time slot relaunch?  :thinking: it's ridiculous and quite unprofessional.

i agree Al, if this keeps up they should ditch this idea and just put "The Emergency feed" on for this timeslot!

Yeah...it was a mess on Tuesday again. Trammell at the top of hour 1, PME for the Weekly Planner, and DP music going to breaks.

They showed behind the scenes meteorologist Adam Dean and he was talking weather (of course) and it also gives us an idea how the Titan HD Radar (Titan source #5) is run...
