OCMs & Personalities / New OCM: Steve MacLaughlin
« on: June 17, 2010, 04:12:13 AM »
I tuned into First Outlook today, only to discover the debut of a new OCM, Steve MacLaughlin. The only thing I can find about him is that he worked for KXAS in Dallas until January 2010, when he opted to not renew his contract in favor of searching for new job opportunities out east.
This is a pretty surprising move considering that TWC already hired Maria LaRosa, and it's only a matter of time before she comes back from maternity leave. TWC already has too many OCMs for its shortened live programming schedule as it is, so does this mean that some veteran OCMs might be leaving soon? I guess time will tell, but I'm a little concerned.

There's some pictures on there. I wonder where that set is. Possibly the former Weekend View studio?
I thought it was shot in NYGuess I was wrong
I never heard about that. I guess it might be in NY.

It's just for severe weather coverage. They've done this every day that there's been severe weather.

Programming and Graphics / TWC to carry Obama's primetime address on the oil spill

This is going to be tonight at 8 ET, of course.
I think it's safe to say TWC is completely a news network at this point, but we already knew that.

If anything, why didn't they engineer the HD Star to display local info in the LDA?

Nope, false alarm. The LDA returned for the second hour of FO. It must have been broken all last hour.

Has the LDA met its demise? A blank black LDA keeps automatically triggering at the start of every segment, but they immediately remove it in lieu of using the new HD LDL with full 16:9 picture.

Dave Schwartz would have spent the whole rest of the segment going on a tangent about the mistake.

No LDA or LDL for the first segment of Day Planner today. A blank black LDA just turned on during the commercials.

Uhhh...wtf? They're displaying a Storm Stories ad in the corner on top of the LDA's radar. Is this a simple mistake, or is this a sign of changes ahead?
I'm guessing it's just a simple mistake given that the language around here suggests that nothing is going to change in the immediate future, but it's worth speculating.

They should find a place to add a clock, IMO. Maybe under the ad or somewhere near the TWC logo?

Is DirecTV supposed to be getting a national Intellistar2, or are they going to remain without a Star? If they don't get a Star, what will be displayed on screen during studio programming? I don't see a way for the LDA to still exist since that's generated at TWC. If the LDA won't exist for cable viewers with an Intellistar2, surely it couldn't exist for viewers without a Star, right?

We'll only see the new HD LDL and 16:9 picture on the "main shows": WUWA, YWT, 7pm WC, WV, and WN.
