PM Edition used a pre-recorded teaser today, and it used the correct opener music.

Hmm, Samantha is using the chroma key today...

EDIT: Betty is, too.

Now I see the difference. Doesn't look blurry at all to me.

But are they showing the weekly planner?

They just showed the wrong opener, so yes, the Weekly Planner aired as normal.

I tried downloading the video, but it's only audio.

You need to install the DivX codec: http://www.divx.com/

Looks the same to me. Although it might explain why this happened last night.

Strange, on the 12:58 AM CT LF, the IS cued as normal, but it froze, and stayed that way for a few seconds, and then went to a silent Satellite LF, then after a few minutes the audio came back on. I thought my IS had crashed for a second until my LDL came up just fine the next segment...

The rain has since let up, but it is still quite cloudy in the area. Tomorrow we will have a break in the rain with mostly sunny skies, but Wednesday will bring another chance for rain and thunderstorms.

Also, the music on the opener for PME has changed. I liked the original version better.

Ooh, they've got the PME desk rotated 180 degrees from the YWT/EE position, putting the couch and a city background behind the desk. Sexy!

I'm liking it!

Except for the fact that Sam Mohr is almost cut off for SD peoples.

Not here.

it is. everyday at 2:58 they play primetime songs at that time. for almost a year now

Probably because long-form programming used to be in the Primetime time slot, and it's possible that the LFs during the long-form programming is still programmed to use songs from the Primetime playlist.

No WC on now ...

Bullcrap if you ask me.

Yeah, the afternoon longform programming has apparently been extended to 2 hours now, leaving only one hour of Weather Center. Unless this is only a Monday thing...

Nick Walker just said they'll be back at 4:00 ET for Weather Center. Only 1 hour of Weather Center a day?!? I hope this isn't permanent.
