What part of the GFC is this?
I think that may be the news room wall, if I recall...

Is Mark Elliot ever going to be on his own show, such as Day Planner or Weekend View? I think he's all right, and I think he's passed the Live Update test.

Ha-ha, well I guess I have a soft spot for him because he looks like my old chemistry teacher whom I really liked. I didn't like his "Ranting and Raining" segments, but I think he's all right. I would prefer him over Todd Santos, who sounds like he has to clear his throat all the time when he talks.

That's the wall that used to be where they put the backdrops in for Studio 1A (the "big desk") shows right?

Does anyone remember the link someone sent out a while back? It was a link to a production music website, and it had a lot of TWC intro music on it, but I can't find it.

EDIT:
I found it.

Sorry for the double post, but it looks like a TWC employee decided to whip out their camera and record Top 5 at :40 past....giving us a behind the scenes look at the "3D" set. Check it out!

Who is this? This was from a forecast vid on weather.com. His first name is Mark, but I couldn't hear the last name.

Thanks. Supposedly, he's a radio meteorologist.

Yeah, He does an okay job with the videos, but I'm sure he does much better with radio. He and some of the other meteorologists are the ones that do a lot of the daily videos (like 50) for weather.com and other news networks.

They're doing something to the global forecast center. You could hear a lot of hammering and drilling earlier when Carl Parker was at the expert desk. Wonder if they're redoing the whole thing or just building a new small area for the expert desk?

Well, It is the offices where all of the meteorologists work, and its been like that since at least the late 90's or early 2000's (was young, did watch). I can imagine after all of this time they're renovating the entire thing. I really want to see how it looks!
