Just got home from Charlottesville. I was visiting some friends at the University of Virginia. Friday I was lucky enough to fly to Florida and see the last shuttle launch! It was amazing.

Welcome back Patrick :-) I am glad to hear you had a good time!

It's been about 3 1/2 years now. Isn't that about long enough to get used to NBC being permanently apart of TWC right now and move on and get over it? It's not fair that NBC has sensationalized TWC as an entertainment network and as a whole isn't what it used to be, but life isn't fair. At this point you shouldn't even care anymore.

More graphics changes? They just changed them like two months ago!

Also what's going on with the old studio, are they vacating it?

No its a new set

Current studio

Looks like some activity being done behind the grey screens

Aren't the grey screens where all the WUWA stuff used to be (and the city backdrop before that)? Wonder what they could possibly be doing this time.

I confirmed they are building a larger/permanent green screen. Now not sure if thats in the HD studio or somewhere else. This makes sense though since they have switched back to using the green screen a lot more. The HD studio really isn't equipped for that

From July 3-10, I will not be online as I enjoy a vacation in NC with my family.  We'll be in NC for the 4th and later exploring the Outer Banks.  This trip also marks my completion of one year with the NWS, which is on July 6.  If you need me when I return, please send a PM.  Take care!

Have a BLAST and enjoy yourself! :-)

If you want to see what WeatherNation looks like....check it out.

It's a service that lets you watch TV online, and they happen to carry WeatherNation. I don't care for their OCMs...

Watched a little of it. It feels like my local weather man trying to cover the whole country. Lackluster graphics and material.

I need to clarify something here: Is TWC upgrading the old studio, the HD studio, or both?

Both? I think. There is a curtain behind the expert desk with work going on.


And in the hd studio

Now that an OCM tweeted about it I can mention that the studios are undergoing some renovations. There will be several new sets and a new desk. I have heard conflicting info that new graphics will be introduced. We shall have to see about that one

Yep those were taken from the "Wake Up With Al" application for the iPhone. Since they were not taken from a star unit I assumed it would be ok to post
