I remember that episode. I didn't get into the show much, though.

I'm not getting my hopes up for this schedule. We'll know for sure the changes to the schedule by Friday the 27th, at the earliest.

I am sorry to bump this thread. I haven't gotten to updating the weather in such a long time. It's been put on the backburner enough.

I'm posting because the area is under two advisories: Flash Flood Watch and High Wind Warning.

Update: It looks like Evening Edition is cancelled. Here's the new weekday evening schedule

7-10PM Weather Center
10PM-1AM Weather Center
1-2AM Weather Center
2-3AM Weather Center
3-4AM Weather Center

Welcome to 1998! 

Great! Let's revert back to the 1998-2006 icons and use the first edition of the XL... and see some former OCM's present the weather.

General Discussion / Re: Microsoft. Is. Opening. Stores.

« on: February 15, 2009, 12:45:07 AM »

But... Microsoft is a software company (I know, Zune, XBox, and other crap). To open a store just seems. Weird.

Sony has its own store (although not retail chain), Apple has one, so it wouldn't be too enexpected to have a Microsoft store.

Does PMEWC stand for PM Edition West Coast? Or, if Adam Berg were to be anchoring then, he'd call it PM Edition After Dark.

It would work if the color scheme for PME Weekend would change for the evening hours. I think the 2AM showing of PME Weekend is a reprise from earlier at night, so they may or may not have a live PM Edition in the AM.

This schedule is messed up. A&B was one of TWC's most popular live shows. Tacking on additional long-form programming might be needed for the excessive layoffs, but it feels like there is way too much of it.

I can't believe people still watch Full Force Nature and IT Could Happen Tomorrow. Are they recycling the same few episodes or did they magically air first-runs?

I always thought Julie Martin was assigned as a field reporter, not an OCM. Is she now an apprentice OCM?

Either that, or they have unannounced layoff of Sam Mohr, and Sharon is Betty's new co-host.

It isn't too likely, but stranger things happened.

Apparently, the Grammy Academy nominated those posers for a Grammy... for Best New Artist. They've been around for a couple of years, and I believe their 15 minutes will be going on 16 soon. Anyone who thinks they are musically talented has a poor taste in music and should be corrected.
