"I thought this was my day off, everybody."

  I cannot believe he said that. 

Actually he didn't say that... That's Steve's "caption" for the image he captured... Adam's technically supposed to be off Mondays and Tuesdays...

Ouch...

  I cannot believe he said that. 

So far, the 1am WCWC is off to a fail start. It didn't start on time at 1:00am, thus 2 minutes of Trammell, then Lexi (Paul's nickname for Alex) did a botched teaser. No intro graphic. Once the camera returns to Alex, the shot moved northeast, thus she was off camera. Bright side? The studio colors were finally purple.

Really had to tell you this before I got to bed. 11 pm my time...they did it again.
Same as what J.T had said above. They did a fail start once again. Alexandra has mic problems and they had to show the LOT8 again (or Trammel Starks as to what you guys call it). Now everything is fine.

Okay I'm out. 

You're pretty much seeing what happened at 1am, except the Trammell covered most of it the first time...

As Steve has pointed out, I dated it wrong... >_>

I know, I was like, "What's going on." and I saw that Alex was saying "ok, ok, ok.", and POOF, the radar went on. At 11:02 my time everything was back to normal. I guess you could say it's a fail. , but I caught it.

First off with the economy.  It is getting really bad.  So bad, to where I cannot go to my dream college   I have to go to community college, and then transfer out.   I am not too sadened, because at least I am going to college.  My parents keep getting hours cut at work, which worries them, and myself.  My aunt just lost her job.

Second- about pictures on TV, ect.  I think that these news outlets are trying to become more interactive with technology.  A local news station is doing the same thing TWC is doing, the twitter thing.  It's interesting.

I shall share my story as well. I do go to community college. There might be a chance that my college won't have a Summer Intersession due to the low money the college has. I'm still waiting for my college money to be disbursed (I guess I have to wait until march 20th!!! grr!) The books are expensive, and now, my mom is thinking twice about my future!! Oh man...I am sadly hurt by the economy. Now I don't know what to do. I want to transfer out of my school and go to CSU San Bernardino, but I guess I'm seeing different roadways. 

Enjoy this image!

  I remember doing this to my BF in the 9th grade (we were friends then).

The 10 PM graphics cheap? That's just....well...short.

They should just create the same opener, but instead of the opening presenting Steph and Mike, they should have Paul and Alexandra. (just a thought maybe).

Wow, that opening was not very impressive. I didn't like the transition out. Not a big fan of the teaser either.

To be honest, I was expecting a new open.

I would expect a different opener come 10 PM ET.

I didn't really mind the opener, although a completely different one would've been nice. And I really like the teaser graphics; looks very sharp!

Yeah, I think there will be a new opener. Steph and Mike will be on at 7 to 10 eastern and they used partially the BTF opener. Paul and Alexandra is on at 10-? and I'm thinking they will have a new opener at that time.

I was afraid they would change the music and the graphics, but when I heard the music I was like "YES!!! THEY KEPT IT!!!" I am happy now.

BTW I love the new lower third as well. And that was a little awkward they didn't use teasers.

I just sent a bunch of pictures of the storm's aftermath to TWC. Be on the lookout for them if they appear on the air, and if possible, capture a video of it! 

Hmm, I tried sending them to their email (weatherwarriors@weather.com), but I get an automatic reply saying it wasn't sent successfully.

They boast http://weather.com/weatherwarriors too, try there.

You can also upload them.

I keep on forgetting about that. And besides, 15 miles southward from where I live (Mexico) they are lucky they don't have to change their clocks until April  *grr* It's gonna be confusing for one month.

But anyways, I will not forget this time thanks to this thread.
