They just showed a wide shot of the anchor desk with Vivian and Jeff's empty chair. :blink:

I have a feeling, for some reason, that this is related to the construction. :thinking:

Thats what I was thinking.... Or maybe the camera operators weren't paying attention.  :nono:

i don't know if anyone noticed, but at 10:41pm on Weather Center Live, a news story about the heat was playing and during the report, Meteorologist Jennifer Lopez who left TWC in 2009, was shown on KXAS tv for about 3 seconds.

Found that to be interesting.. :happy:

Just saw the old "TWC HD Where Available" LF opener. :blink:

The one where the TWC logo fades through the clouds, and the only thing that is said is, "Now, here's your Local on the 8s".

O_o Someone finally said something! Shows Egger isn't so happy with TWC now too.

Stumbled across an article on TWC's press site, which was posted a week ago: http://press.weather.com/press_detail.asp?id=344

Anyone notice that tonight WCL seems a lot better? They've actually cut down the news content and put in weather! Nice to see 4 OCM's with Chris, Crystal, Kim, and Paul for a change!  :clap:

Oh Yes !  Either On DP/EarlyWV/FO/WN/ and PME Or, just on long form if TWC doesn't want it on Live Programing.

No, I think it looks too cluttered.

Yes. The small LDL lacks a lot of data that we've benefited from the larger one, especially on the HD star. :yes:

Absolutely not. :thumbdown: I don't care how much more weather info it showed, it took up WAY to much space on the screen.
