interesting when they interviewed people who saw the WATT, one person said it should appeal to a younger crowd. Is that good or bad? Also Jim Cantore mentioned he liked that you get your local forecast all the time, you don't have to wait for your local on the 8s. Not groundbreaking... just thought provoking.

I'm excited to see what the set will look like.. and the way sets are built nowadays they're easy to install. I installed one at a local station in 3 days.. It's basically plugging in prefab pieces.

TV listings are given ahead of time, and usually don't change until the day of, if not day after programming changes.

It really is beautiful, hopefully they have the same format for both HD and SD. Weather all the time is a great step in the right direction. I know most of us miss the weather-centric broadcasts of the past. The design is what I hoped for when they went HD. Its modern, simple, design but with all the weather info you need. And I love getting all the info you outside of the LOT8s. The sidebar is a mix of ESPN where they give you a rundown of topics/programming and Fox Sports 1 where they give you information pertaining to the current topic or in the case local weather. They couldn't have done better with this, now we just have to see how its implemented.

Also this has been online since Sept. 17th and it hasn't been found yet? lol.

I agree - that would be the best solution.  One can only speculate why that hasn't yet happened, other than TWC's dwindling interest in actually showing weather reports.

Did anyone get to go to their sneak peak event today?
