Danielle and Carl sure do seem to work well together. They were just talking about tax day, and Danielle mentioned on-air that she has yet to send in hers :P

I like Danielle but it would be nice if she were a meteorologist.

But I thought they discontinued that segment all together when 6/2/08 came around. :unsure:

Lifestyles refers to the gardening/health/safety segments shown at :14/:44, which still exists. They just used to show health and outdoors-related maps prior to that segment before they replaced that with the Travel segment in early 2008.

I just realized that after seeing this video, the way TWC aired their HD promos was possibly the foreshadow of NBC buying them.



I come up with this because at the time, NBC aired all of their primetime programming in 16:9 (meaning it was letterboxed on SD), and if FOX, for example, were to own them and make that same promo, it would have been likely cropped just how it was in Steve's video as FOX never letterboxed their promos like NBC. :yes:
