TWC going dark for Earth Hour

[Spring Rubber]

Amidst the other happenings at TWC today, Abrams & Bettes announced that TWC will be going dark for Earth Hour tomorrow, which falls during the final hour of PM Edition Weekend. As a little preview, they turned off the lights in the Abrams & Bettes studio and also showed the lights being turned off in Studio 1 in a recorded segment. They left the A&B studio pitch black for several seconds before turning the lights back on. After that, they omitted the check in with the EE team and went straight to the Photo Finish, after which they went to a wide shot of the studio and turned the lights back off as Steph waved goodbye.

It should be interesting to see what they to with PME Weekend tomorrow, as well as what studio they use for the show.

BTW: I can get a video of this segment later after my recording stops.

I will.

They're going to show it tomorrow though?

We don't know exactly what they'll do yet, but they are live during that hour, and they claim to be participating, so I'll record whatever it is that they do. IMO, they should set it up so that they go on the air at 7:59 PM ET and turn the lights off while they're on the air.

BTW, I don't know why they did this, but they left the lights for the TWC logo on the wall off after they did that example of going dark for the taped segment I mentioned earlier. They really should have turned that light back on for what might be the final broadcast from studio 1B.

So they're showing it tonight at 8pm?

I hope they go dark for another 5 hours like they did for the January 22 outage. No music, and then let the Trammell Starks kick in. This time, the Intellistars DON'T come back on.

This is already suspicious; they've turned off the secondary lighting for the first hour of PM Edition Weekend; normally if those lights are turned on for Weekend Weather Center, as they were today, they aren't turned off for PMEW. (never used that initialism before...)

[Localonthe8s]

I saw that. Veyr interesting. I wonder how this turns out on PME later.

I know exactly what TWC can do with $600 million....get a studio that doesn't leak.

Earth Hour?  I think I'll go cut down a tree or three...what a load of BS.

[Localonthe8s]

Are they going dark for the entire segment or at a certain time on PME?

[Spring Rubber]

We don't know anything. Hopefully it's as profound as they make it sound.

Folks...here we go!
