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!
Actually, it hasnt always been that way. They moved buildings ca. 1997

Oh, well I didn't watch way back then, so I wasn't sure.

In the 11 AM ET tease, they used a double-box screen. One screen had the video, and the other was the DP intro  :blink:

Hahaha...At the 9:20 AM EDT WOYW, Steph showed a picture from DopplerTom, and said something like: "DopplerTom  probably watches the most Weather Channel than anyone else." (Something along those lines.)
And Mike said: "Either him or MartinMMC" :P

Looks like the "3D-wall" is being put to use with Carl talking about the Minot flooding. It's still not THAT impressive, but I think it's better than what we have seen. :yes:

Sorry if the link goes out of date.

A few TWC employees already know about us, including Adam Berg.

Ha! I wish all of them would read it! It would suck though for the OCM's that we say bad things about though, lol.  :bleh:

Thanks! I love seeing behind the scenes. You can definitely tell they have to be on the ball when on live television.
