General TWC Discussion

[Spring Rubber]

Sharon Resultan and Adam Berg are up next.

Yeah, let's dive right in and do that, gang!

edit: If they're going to go live all night, I wonder who will step in at 2 AM ET and do updates from there on?

Should be Rich, just like during Hanna. Adam might stick around for that as well just as it was for Hanna.

It seems as of yesterday afternoon (at least), the TWC logo that appeared for 10 seconds at the start of segments (after the LF and commercials) is now appearing for the entire segment, and is also appearing on the timeslots that (for whatever reason) it never appeared before (such the 5 PM CT hour of PME, A&B, and EEWC). For those with the LDL blocking the logo on the regular feed, you can notice this when they go to break, when they take the LDL off a couple of seconds before break, you'll see the logo inserted on the feed.

[Mike M]

Wow, that's odd. So people who get the 4000 or Junior would end up having the LDL's text (which rarely shows to this day) partially overlaying the logo.

[Mike M]

Yay! The dark blue pillar lines are back! 

[Spring Rubber]

Except for the left side behind the map wall; those are still light blue, making the set unmatching. That's not good.

PME is also using the dark blue horizontal lights, and WWC is using the orange/yellow morning desk colors. They really need to get these set colors fixed back to normal again.

On the positive side, Adam and Kristin are about to answer some more questions from the gang just like they did last night, so stay tuned!

[Spring Rubber]

Ah, it's going to be the same question from earlier. Lame.

[Spring Rubber]

We can see the TWC|HD logo on the EEWC rebroadcast because it's inserted above the level where its recorded. They need to do something about that, preferably just drop the logo if nothing else.

That's called "Agile" off air, and the key is placed "downstream" of the studio, and "upstream" of the recording; hence why it's being recorded.

[Stephen]

Apparently Day Planner is now using a pre-recorded teaser.

[Spring Rubber]

@Kyle: Yes, that's what I was trying to say.

@Stephen: They've been doing that for a while now, but only for the first hour.

Also, the podium is still red; somebody should change that back.

[Stephen]

Hmm, Vivian and Nick are doing the 2 PM CT hour of Weather Center today. Do they now host all 4 hours, or what?

[Mike M]

Probably from 1-4PM. Makes more sense to me than having the PME crew do the 3PM hour then have the WC crew work again at 4PM. I doubt they will do all four hours.

[Spring Rubber]

Yep, Betty and Sam are now doing the 3 PM CT hour of Weather Center. If the WC package wasn't better than the PME package, I'd suggest making PME start at 3 PM CT, but since that isn't the case, I'd rather it stay as Weather Center.

EDIT: Wait, they're hosting it from the PME desk? What gives?

[Mike M]

That's odd. Maybe PME will be starting at 4PM when the new WWCH season premieres?

So...

1-4P - Weather Center
4-6P - PM Edition
6-8P - Abrams and Bettes
8-9P - When Weather Changed History
