Right off the bat, I am highly disappointed. They didn't develop an evening version of the Weather Center graphics and music...

Personally, I still think this package has an evening feel to it. :yes:

Apparently it's the same as the 7PM as Jesse stated.

With the shots of Abrams & Bettes? You're kidding?

Oh nevermind then, tells you that I didn't catch the opener at 7PM. I thought Jesse was trying to say that the 10PM Weather Center was the same as the 7PM, including the opener.

It's the same opener, with Abrams and Bettes cut out.

It's quite a weak opener, IMO.

so far, COVER STORY and the Weather Center graphic that's on all the monitors are NOT 4:3 fail safe graphics...

The 10 PM graphics cheap? That's just....well...short.

They should just create the same opener, but instead of the opening presenting Steph and Mike, they should have Paul and Alexandra. (just a thought maybe).  :noexpression:

So far, the 1am WCWC is off to a fail start. It didn't start on time at 1:00am, thus 2 minutes of Trammell, then Lexi (Paul's nickname for Alex) did a botched teaser. No intro graphic. Once the camera returns to Alex, the shot moved northeast, thus she was off camera. Bright side? The studio colors were finally purple. <_<

Usually, Lexi is short for Alexis.

Really had to tell you this before I got to bed. 11 pm my time...they did it again.
Same as what J.T had said above. They did a fail start once again. Alexandra has mic problems and they had to show the LOT8 again (or Trammel Starks as to what you guys call it). Now everything is fine.

Okay I'm out.  :noexpression:

You're pretty much seeing what happened at 1am, except the Trammell covered most of it the first time...
