This is very strange...
« on: November 07, 2008, 01:13:11 AM »
For some reason, instead of the regularly scheduled "let's do that show", TWC is airing a repeat of the final hour of regular EE with Paul and Adam, which is a real no-no since it contains live radar and whatnot. I wonder what's going on...

There must be some major malfunction going on in the studio that they had to pull an emergency... It could be a number of things... one of the 3 screens on the video wall could be not working, the entire video wall being down (although they can use whatever chromakey walls are in the studio as a backup, I don't see why not), camera malfunctions, a similar situation to last weekend's Sunrise Weather could be occurring, short staffed, among any of many other possibilities.

But I have to agree, if you're going to repeat an airing of a live program, make sure you don't show any live radar imagery...

I was talking to Billy, and he wonders if maybe Rich and Sharon both took off in an emergency, and there was no one left to replace them. It's a rare scenario, but I guess it could happen. You'd think TWC would have a better backup plan in this scenario, though.

I would have to go along with that theory. Maybe they were both ill or something, and TWC couldn't get anyone in to fill in for them in a moment's notice.

Yeah, that sounds right, gang.

Does Sharon sound sick or anything? Since Rich isn't back I suspect he is. I originally suspected Sharon was after last night's shenanigans, but if that was the case it must've been minor since she;s back already.  :thinking:

I just realized what happened. On Wednesday, Rich and Sharon both matched (wearing pink) for like the first time ever. Since this is never supposed to happen, it caused a rip in the space-time continuum that is now slowly repairing itself.
