Correct me if I'm wrong, but someone in the Control Room forgot to turn of the LDLs for that last commercial break. :wacko:

I saw that too, but I didn't get to record it, I had stopped recording the DP segment then. :hmm:

It's supposed to be automatic. Something must have gone wrong with the timing system.

Because of the sidebar on the left I heard? Or what happened?  :huh:

I'm talking about the sidebar. Is that some kind of LDL and when did that start?  I didn't see it talked about on here

It was first used yesterday. If you hop over to the Front Porch there is some discussion about it. Not sure why it wasn't originally posted here (on in the HD discussion forum).

FYI - the technical term is LDA (Left Display Area). ;)

Honestly, I'm surprised they didn't do that from the get-go.  TWC really doesn't have content that really benefits from HD (except long-form), so it makes sense to go with a LDA (similar to what CNBC HD, Fox News HD use).

Opens up some really neat possibilities for the STAR HD (use a left display line as opposed to a lower, and have a radar, etc).

I agree. I really like ESPNews HD's format, with an L-bar type of setup. Really gives all the information in a nice fashion.

Betty is subbing for Jeff this morning, which means we'll see Adam or Kim on DP this morning.
