Nick Walker barking commands at someone at 3PM.

Yeah. "Wait a minute, wait a minute! It's all here...no lights." :P

I'm liking the coverage today. Great to see long form preempted for a fairly big weather story.

I'm thankful that the long-form is pre-empted at all. Why is Kevin Robinson reporting long before his shift? Unless you want Todd Santos to be on the air for as much as 9 hours, I don't think that's a good idea.

OCMs arrive at TWC a few hours before their actual shift starts. Also, lately they've had Kevin Robinson reporting during PME for breaking weather stories.

That's actually pretty long to me, I thought OCM's usually arrive about three hours before their show starts.

I didn't realize they arrive that early. :blink: Do they do anything else other than preparing for their shifts at that time? :unsure:

When was the last time they ever preempted that block? I don't think they did since the March 2 winter storm, it's been awhile.

The afternoon long-form block was preempted on April 10, 2009 due to a severe weather/tornado outbreak in the southeast.
