I like live teasers. The recorded ones distort the sound of the OCM's voices.

:offtopic:

Are there pre-recorded teasers on YWT? And is it always Heather giving the live teaser? :unsure: On videos I've seen of YWT, there is a live teaser with Heather only.
No, the teasers are live on YWT. Not sure about who does the teasers - I don't see YWT that often.

It seems like Heather does them every day; she has done them every day I've watched.

I'd have to disagree. The projector walls still look horrific in SD.
Indeed, they need to ditch the video wall for the maps and go back to chromakeys. Some of the maps are hard to see on the video wall.

I've always wondered if those teases were live. Though, I figured out once they started waiting so long after the opening is over and let the video freeze while the person doing the tease (usually Heather) sits down.

Also, looks what happens when you use live teasers. I'd pay to see this on TWC:

HAHA.

Something looks wrong with the projector wall tonight; it's way too blue.

The HD feed is getting a little wonky right now. The pillar bars are completely gone right now, and during the last LF, the Severe Weather Warnings page had a frame and a title bar, but inside the frame, it was completely black - no map or anything - just blackness.

Oh, and not only is there new FO theme music, but the opener has also been changed to the blue and orange color scheme of the WO opener as opposed to the all-orange look.

I saw the PM Edition for the first time yesterday.  Kind of reminded me of a news set.  I kinda liked it :D  :twothumbs:

It probably is; it's just getting really annoying.

And this, my friend, is why I like the chroma key better than the video projector wall. :P

If they'd fix the projector wall, and everyone were able to watch the HD feed, it would all be good. :P

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.

On another note, I'm wondering if the couch is ready yet since it's obviously not in the studio during PME or YWT. Either the couch can be removed when not in use, or it's not in place yet. The Weekend View HD premiere is only one weekend away, so you'd think it's probably in place for rehearsals by now.
