Tonight's "Primetime Programming" has been pre-empted again. Good call on TWC's end, again.

GASP, I didn't think they were ever going to pre-empt their precious "Primed for Excitement." :rolleyes:

Looks like TWC's signal is failing due to the storms moving into Atlanta.

Just the video feed, my power went out about a minute after that.

Very interesting.  This guy has talked about the current state of The Weather Channel before.  I love it.

I watched the Peter Lik series a few days ago. I was amazed how the show went, but I'm still not satisfied with the whole concept of the program. I don't see how the show is about weather photography when he's basically taking pictures about landscapes. -_-

I appears that TWC has switched to the green logo for Earth Day.

I guess it's "Green is Universal Week."

Still don't like the shade of green they use for the logo, though. :hmm:

Right, a darker green would look much better.

I KNEW I had seen this video somewhere. I tried describing it to some forum members months ago, but unfortunately could never find the clip. Well, I have found the clip! Does anyone know what would cause the strange image seen at 2:41? (Note: This clip is from the morning of the 2008 HD relaunch)

It seems that a camera was pointed at someone, and that image was partially superimposed on the weather map or on top of it - it's hard to tell just what layer it's on, since no one's standing in front of the map, so it's basically a 2-D view for that brief instant.

Chalk it down to someone in the control room not paying attention to what he's doing.

Hmm, Samantha Mohr wasn't in front of the chroma-key during the 5:29 EDT LWU. Maybe something is wrong with the studio.
