I have a feeling we'll just be seeing KRob on YWT Monday and Tuesday and Bill from Wednesday-Friday until something is worked out.
Either that, or whoever is supposed to take Marshall's place is going to start on Monday.

I would go with that. It wouldn't make sense (to me at least) to start the new person midweek.

So I was browsing the Killer Tracks music library (looking for the circa 1998-2000 NASCAR on ABC/ESPN music), and I came across this track:

I know it was used on TWC at some point, but when, and what for?
My super-awesome website!

It sounds very familiar indeed, though I can't quite put my finger on what it was used for. I don't think it was ever an LF tune. Sounds like maybe it was a theme for a show or special.  :thinking:

That was used on the First Day of Fall LOT8's opener in 2006 and I think 2007 too.

Tonight's EE again consists of Paul and the Gang Guy, and Paul's wearing a badass Rich Johnson-esque wide-checkered jacket. :P

Wow Mike, you're good! :clap: After seeing a video, that was indeed the music for the 2006 First Day of Fall LOT8s opener. :yes:

Billy, what is the name of that song? I love it! :biggrin:

Can't they move Nick Walker back to the morning shows with Seese out? Really, Walker doesn't appeal to me as a Weather Center guy (or an afternoon person for that matter), and I really don't like the combo of Vivian/Walker.

With that in mind, he sounds like a morning guy. ;)

I agree about Nick, but the only problem is that TWC is lacking one OCM, which they need to make things work out better. It's a shame that they don't appear to be interested in hiring anyone new (unless that someone is going to make an appearance soon; I guess we'll see.).

Alex Wallace isn't ready for a full-time spot yet, IMO. He still seems to be nervous and not really carry a strong personality.

What in the world??? :wacko: weather.com is showing a Halloween promo on their homepage!  :blink: What are they doing? :whateva: Halloween was a week ago (unless it's on November 8th now?  :P).

EDIT: The Halloween promo has been removed. I'm glad TWC is now caught up with the time of year.
