[TWCToday]

Weather.com recently added a new page explaining about their new HD studio. It has info on a sweepstake where you can win a trip to tour the new studio. You can enter once a day.

The HD Studio webpage also says "Check back June 2 to explore our interactive studio tour" But who wants to wait.

Wow, nice job finding the link to the tour that we're not supposed to see yet! I love you.

I'm curious why they have two key walls in there and why they promote them in the tour. Have they abandoned the plan to use projectors?

It's also interesting how they put the couch in there. I wonder if that's where they'll do Weekend View in addition to using the couch for other segments during regular shows.

The rotating desk is an interesting idea. I wonder what will determine which of the 11 views will be used at a given time. I'm also curious what the "work desk" will be used for.

I also noticed that the color scheme pays homage to the two current sets. About half of the studio orangish-yellow near the ceiling followed by three rows of blue, much like the "pillars" in the main studio. The other half of the studio seems to be designed like the Weekend View studio.

At any rate, a little less than 29 1/2 days until the big launch.

That studio looks really small. It also looks like they will broadcast all the shows in one set, which would get boring after awhile. I like having different shows airing in different sets like how it is in the old (current) studio. But I really like the backdrops and overall design. Very modern. The city backdrop reminds me of the one used in one of my local TV stations, WPVI.

The one set, it configurable for 11 different sets with a rotating desk.

So does this mean in less than a month, they'll complete their transition to the eye candy Channel?

Yes, June 2nd. We're down to 29 days now!

I can't believe anyone had to ask that question. We've posted every single article related to the HD launch. The launch date should be ingrained into everyone's mind by now.

Yea, the studio area does look rather small.  But man, does it look good
