I could've sworn we've discussed this here before...
We probably have; I was half asleep when I posted that. :P

On another note, the video stuttering I reported during EEAD wasn't just during the rebroadcast like I thought; I stayed up for Weekend Outlook and Weekend View, and it was happening during those live programs as well. Apparently it's a bigger issue...

Finally; all of the show color schemes have been perfected; after doing WWC with the full-on EE colors yesterday, today they're using the light blue pillars and white horizontal bars. Good job lighting crew!

I see that Mike Seidel did the weather.com forecasts this afternoon so I take it he wasn't out in the field for the NFL Kickoff forecast this morning. I'm wondering if someone else did this morning or did TWC decide to scrap that segment?

Is Weekend Outlook back to using the dark blue pillars?

Nope, they're also using the proper full-morning colors. Indeed, every show is now using the proper colors. *knocks on wood*

For the first time, EEAD tonight started with the "storyboard" at the projector wall much like regular weekend EE. Normally EEAD starts with either a simple teaser involving video or with a recorded teaser - never at the projector wall.

They're starting to already get back into "serious business" mode because OMG there's a tropical wave in the Caribbean!

I just saw Nick Walker walk through the background while Cheryl and Kevin were standing by one of the big LCD screens while going to break.

Tropical watch? Is that a new segment at :50 when they can't decide whether it's tropical season or not? :P

WTF @ tonight's EE? They just started with a live opener with the bumper music, no teaser, then Alexandra says, "I'm Alexandra Steele, let's DIVE right into tonight's top stories."

Sounding a bit Adam-esque, is she?  :lol:

The baby told her to.  (LAME JOKE)

Speaking of Alexandra.. she's do in about a month, correct?

At 11:44 AM ET before the lifestyles segment, they used a different Day Planner bump-out that I haven't seen before.
