Fix the set. - please. - pretty please.

Today as First Outlook begins, we now see that two of the three lights above the big backdrop have burned out since EEWC, which, in fact, might have been the cause of the final two segments of EEWC to be disrupted.

I know they don't have much time left on the set, but some some shows ought to still be there during the summer months, and the set is starting to look worse and worse by the week as lights continue to burn out and not be repaired. I know TWC probably didn't want to have to do any further repairs on Studio 1A, but at some point, they need to buckle down and just do the needed repairs. The set is starting to look horrible.

Why would that cause a segment to be disrupted?

Sometimes lights burn out in a none-too-friendly manner. (A time where a light caught fire at CNN Headline News comes to mind; they evacuated the studio for that incident when it happened several years ago.)

You need to keep in mind that such an incident is relatively rare. 99.99999% of the time bulbs burn out peacefully. As proof, find me another time when a bulb caused a disruption at a TV station.

Haha - Not taking sides here but I have cancelled 11 of my shows this year, becuase of light malfunction or dis-tasteful behavior from the light.

Last I checked none of those situations made the news.

Well, back when they were in studio 1B this past fall, the light lighting up the right side of the Global Forecast Center banner flickered constantly for several hours; as a result, they had to use the temporary camera angle from the side of the desk until the light was finally put out of its misery.

Nusaince? Yes. Major incident? No.

Well, the lights above the backdrop burning out did force their hand to fix a few extra lights as well, including the ceiling light shining on the wall to the right of the big backdrop. It looks much nicer over there now.
