A&B is in the expert desk, not at the TWC LCD display. ;)

D'oh!  :doh2:

I guess I should've double checked the studio tour before I made this.

My super-awesome website!

Did they redo their HD studio tour? I went there a week ago and it was different.

During YWT this morning, they did a teaser going to break with Heather standing in front of the LCD monitor in the interview area that now serves as the background for the PME anchors. She was using the monitor that's just off to the right of the normal PME 2-person shot, but all of the lights except for the key lights on Heather were off. It looked pretty neat; I think we're starting to see more and more of the cool shots they can do with the new studio.

That sounds neat. :yes: Do have a screenshot? And does YWT have the same setup as PME now? :unsure:

No, it was just for that shot.

They just did a "Tennis Tournament Forecast" opener with the PME music. Interesting...

Speaking of the LCD display, I have another question. When TWC shows the radar, a live report from Jorma Duran, or perhaps a WeatherREADY segment, are we viewing this from the LCD display?

What do you mean by that? I'm confused.

No, those segments take up the entire screen. They don't use the LCD display for that.

Let me simplify the question. What is the LCD display used for?

Which LCD display? You seem to speak of a singular LCD display; there are a whole bunch of them in the studio.

According to Wikipedia, First Outlook is slated to go HD on Monday. Has that been confirmed?
