Anyone see the turbo tax commercial with Jim Cantore? :clap: He should be a movie actor.

Except I thought better of him then to actually do a commerical where he has to say "category 5 blizzard."
I didn't really notice he said that.

I didn't understood the commercial.  :huh:

So, why were Crystal and Chris on only at the 7PM hour, and then at 8PM, Todd and Kim C. are on? I thought WC 1 crew went from 7-10?

I'm assuming since long form programming was supposed to be on, they decided to have a different crew on during those hours. I guess Kelly will be there at 10 with whoever is partnering with her since Paul is in the field.

I find it strange that they are swaping Kim and Todd out with Crystal and Chris every other hour. Could it be that they have a lot of work going on behind  the scenes?

My guess would be Crystal and Chris were scheduled to do the one hour live WC blocks, and due to contract obligations, it was easier for TWC to bring in Kim and Todd to do the block that was scheduled for long form.

There are definite recorded segments in here, as there is a lack of transitions between each segment, plus unnatural tossing to Chris and Crystal back and forth.

I think Chris is the only one live in the Studio right now.

Did it use the old A&B/WC theme from 2008 or the current WC theme?

So I see on a graphic on weather.com that Dr. Greg Forbes is in Pennsylvania for Winter Storm coverage. Is he doing field reports? :blink: Or maybe he is in a studio...just don't remember Dr. Forbes doing field reports before (has he?).

He was out in the field for the Vortex 2 project last year I think once or twice.

It was the old A&B Weather Center intro (the one introduced in 2008) played under production music, with a man sighing before going to the studio shots
