I think that would be a good idea. If YWT gets pushed back one hour, could Day Planner be shortened? I think four hours is too much.

General Discussion / Re: Folks, This Is Serious

There are so many people on the Internet with cruel intentions. Lamarr hasn't had a favorable reputation here, so at least we know who he is.
People like him try to make us scared. It's a serious matter, and I hope something like that doesn't come from Lamarr or anyone else again.

No, weather is not a trip for me, an OCM singing about the weather to kids is a trip.

Everything Else TWC / An off-season hurricane question
« on: May 06, 2009, 01:48:27 AM »
I was revisiting clips from TWC's coverage of Hurricane Ike, and I notice the storm alert music got more intense (faster tempo etc) when the storm approached landfall and after it made landfall. Anyone notice it too?

It's only been a couple of months since Abernathy was laid off, but it's feeling like a few years.

That is absolutely scary. I wish Nick Walker stuck to TWC, and not presenting the weather to schoolkids. He could at least plug that he is a meteorologist for TWC, and the show he was on at the time would have great ratings and a young demographic.

I think First Outlook will just be from 4-6am Eastern time. I wonder if Al Roker will actually be presenting the weather, or just reporting from NY, as he does on Today.

I get out on June 12. I start school on August 12. I know, short summer. The school board pushed back the start of the school year one week so the 1st semester would end come winter break.

« on: April 30, 2009, 11:20:25 PM »I'm afraid the A&B pair won't last much longer, apparently Al has confirmed that he will be having a new show on TWC called Wake Up With Al this summer and Stephanie will be co hosting.So... YWT or First Outlook will be gone?
Who will replace Al on the Today Show?
Sorry if these questions were answered before, I haven't been following along as of late.

Vivian would walk away, and we might see Adam Berg filling in for several days.

That song was used to teach kids about weather. When I was young, I didn't need Nick Walker as "The Wx Dude", I could manage him being himself.
It would be hilarious if Nick Walker broke out into that song during PM Edition one day. I can't imagine Vivian's expression.

Programming and Graphics / Re: Least Favorite Shows
« on: April 27, 2009, 01:46:07 AM »
I don't see how SportsCenter and Weather Center could compete. They are totally unrelated, and ESPN is a much higher-rated network, so catching up is nearly hopeless.

On the contrary, I dislike Weather Center the worst. It wasn't right to brand the evening/late-night shows into one. The graphics package is as cheap as cheap can be. They just recycled the first 10 seconds of the A&B theme. They also took away EE, my favorite show of June 2008-March 2009. Cantore moved to YWT, and I think EE had the best graphics/music package of the 2008 relaunch. There is no special feeling to Weather Center. Don't forget about the Blue Bar of Doom. I couldn't get into the Twitter segment.
The other programs I could give or take, but I have more complaint about Weather Center.

« on: April 21, 2009, 05:09:46 PM »No, they're all gonna be rehashed old episodes.First Outlook too, it seems.
As for the openers, it's a shame. The DP theme is pretty much dead and never used now; same goes for Weekend Now.
I had my first case of insomnia this year, and TWC was the only channel that had something on. I was upset that First Outlook recycled the YWT segment cues, and did away with the theme music.
