The WP videos uploaded to the .com use the 08-09 WC intro with the EE WP music :o :blink:

weekly.mov


This is really nothing new.  It's been like that for awhile now. ;)

I wasn't aware, because I never watch the online videos outside of the local ones :no:

I was surprised TWC went to regular programming at 8pm and was not covering the severe storms again till 10pm ET.
They did stay live at 11pm with Paul and Adam and will be live to 3am ET.
Chris and Kim were on 7pm and 10pm ET not sure why they left at 11pm.

Scott Williams and Danielle Banks came on at 3am ET for an early edition of First Outlook.
Since 11am Tuesday they have not used the studio.
For 3am Danielle was in HD studio area with the Telestrator at the podium for the start but most of the show is using the Digital Media Center and the old green screen.

Does Janel Klein work for TWC in the same way that Tetiana (sp.) Anderson, Jorma Duran and Julie Martin did as just reporters? I notice she reports from a lot of various places, including in Duluth, MN right now on the blizzard, but I thought she might have been a meteorologist.

EDIT: On a side note, this is something I thought was weird. During the first hour of YWT, Mike Bettes was on w/ Tom talking about the blizzard, about an hour later when I turned it back on TWC to hear more about the tornadoes, he wasn't there, in fact Jen suddenly appeared along with Stephanie at the main desk and I was wondering what happened until I heard Stephanie say Jen was filling in while Mike was dealing with the severe weather. So, I'm assuming he left to cover the tornado damage in IL or KS, she didn't specify where he was going exactly. I don't get why they just didn't send him out there in the first place if that's where he's going. That was pretty dumb on their part.

Janel Klein works for KARE an NBC affilate in the Minneapolis-St. Paul Area so that's why she was reporting for The Weather Channel.

They did mention on air that Mike was traveling to  report on the storms.

Mike Bettes ‏ @TWCMikeBettes
Leaving early to cover Midwest #tornado damage. Live reports begin later today.
8:01 AM - 29 Feb 12 via Twitter for iPhone

TWC will be live all day,
Kelly Cass: "We continue to track active weather around the clock on The Weather Channel, with severe outbreak, and snow to the north. I'll be on with Jim Cantore, and Chris Warren from 7pm to 11pmET. Stay safe!"

Also, Al Roker was live at 10AM ET. He did some live radar segments and read some tornado warnings. This is the first time he is live at this time.

Anyway, TWC is doing a good job covering this storm.

Sometimes on the 10am ET show the Al Rocker segments are from 6am and they do live segments with Stephanie Abrams. Today it was all live.

Today will make the second time in recent months TWC has been live for over 24 hours they have been live since 10pm ET on Tuesday and live coverage will go to at least 11pm ET.

The 10 AM hour always has the Steph segments live.

I still think that 10am hour is pointless if all of it is not going to be live. :itsok:

I'm not sure when this happened, but the LOT8s corner ad was made smaller, so that it no longer juts out of the LDL.
