No, they just think having the sidebar is more important. They make the studio feed 4:3 in order to make it fit.

Complete BS if you ask me. I thought one of the major points and advantages of having HD is a wider view. The sidebar ruins the purpose of that.

But to you really always need a wide view of the studio? I don't think so. Most viewers would rather have the weather info.

ICHT was interrupted again at :30 past. This time it lasted longer than the one on the top of the hour. I even timed it: 7 min!

Today, they've been using these new titlebars for the Severe Weather forecast graphics:
And as of today, they're not using those titlebars anymore.

Actually, I believe they were using them earlier this morning with the Carl and Heather duo.

Tonight on PME and A&B they were back to using the old titlebars.

Explained again it's not a producer. The caps lock is on because they switch between the teleprompter and twitter.
