Adding that annoying breaking news and Side bars was a stupid idea. The Breaking News/Delvoing Story Bar is useless because parts of the words are missing in my TV and the LDA and the Blue Bar of doom is 100% Pointless. That why TWC is dead since March 2, 2009.

Here's a new one for the BBOD:

"Northeastern Summer"

Really?

The BBOD acts like it got up to the 90s here and absolutely humid, when all it did was get into the high 70s/low 80s here.

Still not watching this until that crap is gone forever.

What is up with the typos on the BBOD today? I've seen 2 already.

On the 7:20 AM PDT segment of Day Planner (screenshot can be found at the Blooper Thread).
"STORMY WEATHER EXPECTEDI N THE NORTHERN PLAINS MONDAY"

...and just now on the 1:50 PM PDT segment on PME...
"5TH APPEMP"

I think there is no reason to have that stupid bar on every single segment of the show. It's pointless.
Don't worry. It's never appear on the late night shows (weekdays Weather Center after 11PM/PME Editon weekends).

I don't think Sunrise Weather shows it either.

Okay, I still don't understand why you all hate it so much.  It blocks NOTHING. except the OCM's legs.  Even though it is useless, just deal with it there, and don't pay attention to it.   :thumbsup: :whistling:

But it's your guys' opinions :P..

It's annoying and not necessary. It is distracting when the viewer is trying to view the maps or pay attention to the OCM.

It's not shown on Early Weekend View (5-7am) either.

I like how Wake Up uses a plain lower third to show the weather headlines. Why can't the other shows do that?

Didn't know hurricane history was so crucial to add onto the BBOD.

The BBOD puts false information as well. Just a few weeks ago, it was reporting that it was 47 degrees in Central Park, when it's really like 70 or something. I'm surprised none of you noticed that the weather conditions don't update properly.

It was probably just a typo. No big deal. :wacko:

I have, and along with that, too many typos.
