Alexandra Steele is the main reason I rarely ever watch the primetime Evening Edition anymore. Since she joined, EE was really falling apart.

I remember back in 2002-2003, I watched EE almost every night. Paul and Jennifer made a great team.

Flavors are pretty much back to normal now, but the forecast for today is still unavailable, thus the "our local forecast" narration is heard on the 48 hour forecast. I've recorded the past four LF's and I'll have them uploaded early next week.


Here they are:

Even worse, they seem to have only one blue on-the-fly opener for every show now. It would be better if they'd at least make several of them that match each of the show's graphics, kind of like the on the fly openers Evening Edition had up until early 2007.

Jae, I agree with the whole TV screen thing.  I'd prefer the key wall over that :yes:
Same here. It's really hard for me to see some of the text on the video wall.

Also, as you said Jae, they need to stop with the production music and on the fly openers and use the music and graphics that came with the actual show package. I was hoping they'd stop doing this on the June 2 relaunch, but I was wrong.

Gary, are you sure those new XL videos from Birmingham are by DJ? I thought Brian (ILoveStorms) recorded them, as I certainly recall seeing them on his YouTube account. :unsure:

Now that it is retired, I'm hoping to get my hands on the 05-08 era TWC music for all shows. IMO, that was the BEST era for show music.  :twothumbs:
I agree. Unlike many of the other eras, this era had completely different music for each of the shows, which is what I liked.

Do you guys think this may be the same Billy Walsh who did music for TWC, including
My Bed
?

Where are you guys finding these bios? I just checked, and I don't see Dennis', ricks, or Marny's.  :wacko:
Click on the links on my previous post. I just enter some of the OCMs' last names on the URL and it sends me to their profile.

The bios on weather.com never seem to get removed after the OCM's leave anymore. Heck, even Rick Griffin's and Marny Stanier's bio is still on there, among some other OCM's who left as early as 2003.

Yeah, I'm also beginning to consider whether or not if he still works at TWC at all. Some of the other senior OCM's, like Stu Ostro, occasionally appear during special weather events, but I've never seen Dennis on air since Hurricane Wilma coverage in October 2005.

I think its ruined TWC's image as a whole. They made a huge mistake by not remaining neutral. Instead, they took a stance and told their viewers what that stance was. A news service should be unbiased and objective.
Well said. TWC turned into a complete 180 when they started covering global warming.

Wow, an XL in the Outer Banks? I go there once in awhile, so maybe next time I go down there I'll see it!
