I am very impressed with the music AND the graphics on Weekend View.  I love 'em.

Still have to catch the Weekend Now opener, I'll do that at the top of the hour.

I really don't like how a lot of the show's themes have the same melody, like in 2003-2005. I liked the 2005-2008 package when every show had a completely different melody.

Yeah. TWC seems to have a new "9-note chime" for almost all of their segment openers. I really love the graphics, and the music isn't that bad.

BTW, I really like Weekend View's new opener! The one for Weekend Now is too short IMO.

Someone else claimed it was a 10-note chime, but it really is only 9.

Why does the Weekend Now theme sound familiar? Did they use it for something else this week?

Now to continue Weekend Outlook's identity confusion, we've still got the Weekend Planner segment openers, but now they're using the 05-07 Weekend Outlook bumper music to go to commercial. Hey, at least they got rid of the LIVE tag.

Edit: Hmmm... now they're using the LIVE tag at the desk but not at the key wall.

What I do really like are the severe and tropical weather graphics, and the music used for them.

Yea, I have to say that those are my favorite, too.  The tri-tone chime fits them really well, IMO. :yes:

i was able to finally see the first outlook graphics - and imo they're pretty bad. idk what it is, it just doesn't have that "first outlook" feel.

Agreed. It doesn't have that "early morning" or "business travel" feel, if you get what I mean.

The original package had that feel the most, but alas, times have changed. I think the new package captures the feeling somewhat...

The new graphics have made it to the Severe Weather Reports maps on weather.com.



Now why can't they update the rest of the weather.com maps? They've been the same for nearly 10 years now!
