Alex always seems to appear on the low-rated TWC shows. WN, DP, WC, and WO. I think I saw him on PME once, but I don't quite remember.

OCMs & Personalities / Re: Jen Carfagno - Your new First Outlook co-anchor
« on: July 11, 2008, 01:30:55 AM »
In response to what you said Tyler: Jen has NEVER seemed lively to me whatsoever, she seems very quiet, calm, laid-back, and she sometimes seems as if she doesn't enjoy her job. I am convinced the only reason TWC is holding on to her and promoting her is because she is one of the cutest (if not the most) anchors on TWC these days.

I still continue to be sooo amazed by the simplicity in this era's graphics. Simply (no pun intended) awesome!

« on: July 02, 2008, 06:46:51 PM »
Weather Center is my favorite. The music and graphics are soooo awesome! I am in LOVE with the opener, for sure. My least favorite is First Outlook. I was hoping that TWC would chuck the orange from 05-08...sure enough, they didnt. 
Orange just isn't a very appealing color in news packages, IMO.

According to that map, the new studio is located to the left of the building. They tore up most of the parking lot to make room for it, AFAIK. I've only seen it from the Interstate.

The schedule from early (Jan-Sept) 2006 was my favorite (and perfect TWC schedule), IMO.

The article on her from AJC is located here, in case anyone wants to read it. It talks a lot about her personal life.

A couple of things that are bugging me regarding the HD launch. It appears as if the L3RDS have trouble animating in. Anyone else noticed that? Also, it's sure as hell taking awhile for me to get used to the idea of using giant screens rather than chromakey walls. IMO, the screens (or maps, either/or) are always off-center, esp. during EEWC. Either it's my SD TV, or the camera operator is not doing too well. IMO, everything else in that studio is BEAUTIFUL BEYOND WORDS!! I cannot wait until the entire channel broadcasts from that studio one day. I don't know about you guys, but I am getting SO SICK of Studio 1A, I am about to scream! Maybe it's just my OCD'ness, but the mis-matching backdrops is also bugging the heck out of me! The new graphics to EACH and every show are beautiful, however just like in the recent past, I do not feel as if they are using the new graphics to their full potential. Same thing with music, IMO. TWC still has a terrible addiction to the overusage of production library music, making the new show music broadcast a rarity. The new music of this era is alright, but I feel as if it is very repetitive, kind of like the 03-05 music...don't you guys see a similarity? (Repetition, similar musical signatures, etc.) I think that the new OCM pairings are great as well, but I wish that they would fix up the non-alignment in the new HD studio as far as the map screens are concerned. Once that problem is fixed, everything will look fantastic. :sunglasses:

OCMs & Personalities / Re: Anyone not like Climate Expert Dr. Heidi Cullen?
« on: June 22, 2008, 07:49:36 PM »
Here's everything thats wrong with Dr. Cullen:
1) She's a COMMUNIST! (Think about it!)
2) She doesn't know what the !@#$ she's talking about half the time, IMO. I don't believe in Global Warming, so you might disagree with this statement.
3) She's so fake! Just look at her, she looks like a mannequin!
4) She needs to think before she opens her fascist mouth, esp. when it has to do with other meteorologists and their certifications (the same statement that got her demoted as Forecast Earth head host, AFAIK).

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.

Alex is indeed pregnant and she just got engaged. She is also a big golfer. There was an entire article about her in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution ( www.ajc.com ) this morning...she is also very pettite, 5' 4"

I am thinking about emailing TWC regarding information about the 05-08 music. AFAIK, Troika Design Co. composed the 05-08 YWT music, Stephen Arnold the EE music, however I am very curious to know who composed the rest of the shows'...if not acquire all of the music from the 05-08 era.
