Is it me or are they showing less of the studio tonight for EE than they did this morning for YWT?

Anyone see the WC open? Very nice!! I love the music, plus, I really like the spinning globe. So far, I think its the only show logo using Interstate as the font (unless FO does,I didn't see it).

No, First Outlook doesn't use Interstate.

Weather Center is indeed the best one so far. YWT isn't bad either. Can't wait to see the weekend graphics!

They're pathetic tonight! The first hour we don't get to start in HD; now the second hour the "studio preview" video freezes. Can we have the morning control room crew back?

I can flip my normal 4:3 TV into a 16:9 mode to get somewhat of a faux-HD look. I must say EE looks a lot better in 16:9 than it did in 4:3.

Day Planner opener/teaser (even in its second hour, things still didn't go quite right.)

I really don't look forward to the dramatic music for Evening Edition.  I prefer the previous package.  It just wouldn't make sense to have this kind of music on a benign weather day.  Leave that package for Storm Alert!  The graphics on another note are hand in hand with PM Edition and A&B.

Overall, I think the best package/music is PM Edition's...

Did they have the desk rotated to face the right side of the wall after Dr. Lyons's segment, or did Paul and Alex simply turn to face the camera?

I wonder when they'll turn the desk completely around...

EEWC starts in a few minutes. Now taking bets as to whether it will be in HD or not.

Sharon's using the key wall now. The lighting is a bit odd...
