What really confuses me now is that PM Edition Weekend is set up just like it is during the week, facing the interview corner. TWC isn't being consistent. :no: I think Weekend Weather Center should be at the mini desk just like it is during the week.
Exactly; it makes no sense when you think about. EE Weekend and EE West Coast Weekend are also set up just like their weekday counterparts. The only thing I can think is that WC is the only one that still has "Weekend" appended to the name, so I guess WWC is considered more separate from the weekday edition than the other shows.

They don't call the weekend PME "PM Edition Weekend" anymore? It used to be the other way around - I don't remember the OCM's ever referring the weekend Weather Center as "Weekend Weather Center" pre-2005ish.

They don't use the term "PM Edition Weekend" nearly as much as they use "Weekend Weather Center" nowadays. I think you're right; I don't remember hearing "Weekend Weather Center" used very much until around the 2005 relaunch when the show was finally given a permanent anchor team. (Kristin and Betty)

Guess who's finally on WO in HD this morning? Say it with me...

So the only OCMs who haven't been in HD yet are Alex Wallace and Ryan Goswick?

Yep, almost forgot about him, too. Don't think he's been in HD, either.

Looks like they changed the WO opener slightly to match the FO opener:



First one is the new WO opener, the second one is the current FO opener, and the last one is the old WO opener.

When they are sitting at the anchor desk, Adam and Kristen are facing the projector wall tonight on Evening Edition. :yes: I'm assuming this is for Fay coverage as they would normally face the LCD screen.

Yes, EE Weekend uses the same setup as weekday EE for their respective regular editions and West Coast editions.

Anyone watching Storm Session? I tuned in around 9:30, and so far, it's very interesting, and  quite informing. I like it! :biggrin:

Yeah, I've been watching and is quite interesting. :yes: I was hoping they'd be using the interview corner for this though, but it's pretty good nonetheless.
