So if that schedule is accurate, Mark Mancuso may be one of the last anchors to use studio 1A.

That would be quite fitting if he winds up working the final broadcast in there; yeah, they've only been there since 1997, but he's still the older of the two longest tenured OCMs.

Then again, he might even pull a fast one on us and retire before that; he's really cut his schedule back to the point that he only seems to appear on TV once every 2-4 weeks.

On another subject, do you guys think that something has always looked weird about those light panels behind the desk between the three computers; they don't quite look at crisp as the rest of the lights on the set, and sometimes they even look so grainy that it looks like there's moisture trapped in them.

Rich is by himself tonight on EEWC. This is the first time anyone's gone solo in the HD studio, right?

edit: dang it, Stephen. :P

I wonder what the source on that timeline is, but it does sound pretty feasible.
Indeed, but we can't know for sure unless a source is put up, so I put a "citation needed" template in that section until I find a source.

The only sad part about Studio 1A going away is that we won't get to see what we saw during the 3 PM CT hour: Dr. Heidi Cullen walking behind the desk. I should've gotten my shotgun ready.

LOL!  Can you upload a clip of that?  I have the ABSOLUTE PERFECT mashup for that one.   :lol:

Drat.  I was going to make the absolute best parody of Duck Hunt, but alas.

Is Weekend Outlook still showing the old Weekend Planner segment openers?

Yep, apparently they care very little about the program. They'll probably deal with it when they have to deal with it. (HD launch day)
