All of the programs look like they have the same graphics too me except for Weather Center. :huh:
Victor, obviously morning shows like Your Weather Today do not have the same graphics as Evening Edition. ;)

Well I never watch YWT since I have no time to watch TV or use the computer in the early morning hours.

I actually like how a lot of the shows have the same themes. 
Yea..pretty much all I have to say :P

Well, time for me to stay up late to see the new weekend packages. Weekend Now is definitely going to be watched on a recording, though; there's no way I'm staying up until 10 AM local time. :P

Also look out for the new co-anchor of Weekend Now tomorrow; it should be Kim Perez.

Awesome. I still haven't seen the FO graphics, and no way I am going to stay up to see the WO graphics, so if someone could post them, that would be great. :thrilled:

All of these new graphical and music themes are very very similar, which indicate they were definitely made by the same company.  I would love to know the graphical company that made the graphics as well as the company that composed the music. Then again, it is still a mystery who composed most of TWC's music from 05-08...perhaps now that it is retired TWC will be more lenient about giving out information regarding that. I'll see what I can do, if you guys are interested.

Ugh, how cheap! The Weekend Outlook package is just the First Outlook package with a different logo, slightly different colors, and different music. Somehow I'm not surprised, though.

They're also using the 05-08 generic LIVE bug. Somebody in Master apparently doesn't know they're not supposed to use that anymore. They're also using the afternoon L3s.

Now, from the "Wow, I never thought I'd ever see this on the air again" department, They just played the 03-05 Weekend Planner Travel opener at 3:40 CT. Whoever is in Master today is really messing things up!

They're also playing a Dr. Anna Marie segment that looks like it's in HD; 4:3 viewers, however, are probably getting the edges cut off unless it was letterboxed for you guys. The segment wasn't 4:3 safe.

Now it's time to open up that planner book and walk toward the Pike Place Market because it's time for the 03-05 Weekend Planner Weekly Planner!

Nice to see Weekend Outlook is TWC's recycling center for openers.....

Also, the new opener is not 4:3 safe; the K is cut off.

Wow, nice job by the graphic makers. I wonder if this means we'll eventually see a butchered in-house version of the opener to correct this problem instead of paying the design company to fix the problem.

BTW, they are actually letterboxing the Lifestyles segments on the SD feed today and presenting them in HD on the HD feed; that's about the only thing this morning Master crew has managed to get right. The LIVE tag is still up and is still obstructing the map titles.

Weekend View is still "home" in its normal studio, so apparently A&B did move out due to the graphics clashing.

I was still pretty much asleep at the time, but I think I might have seen the Weekend View live tag in use at 7:10-7:14 AM ET, thought it might have been an allusion because the new map banners have that same blue triangular look to them.
My super-awesome website!

It also looks like Weekend View is the only show to keep its logo, albeit now with the words next to each other instead of the old top and bottom format.

It figures. I had to miss Weekend Outlook this morning. <_< I'm hoping you got that recorded...
