Apparently Jen was sick herself according to what she said during the first segment; plus she was coughing quite a bit during her time on the show. She left after the 12:40 ET segment, and Kelly is finishing the show solo. Get well soon, Betty and Jen.

I believe it may have aired around Christmas 2005 as well. At any rate I probably won't be watching.

Programming and Graphics / Re: Weather Channel To Share With NBC Affiliates

Before this deal, TWC was getting video from affiliates of all networks; I'm assuming now it's narrowed down to just NBC affiliates.

I think I understand this a little better. This deal is about affiliates, not O&Os. TWC and O&Os obviously had been sharing resources for a while, but this deal was about non-NBC owned affiliates of the NBC network.

Today's DP is a semi-fail show with dark blue lower thirds and the rarely seen light blue teaser graphics. (the ones that show three stories on the left side of the screen) Interesting.

You mean PME? DP was using the correct lower thirds (although it was still a semi-fail show).

Yes, I mean PME. Oops.

Do they still show the sidebar on the HD feed?

Of course.

Jennifer Roberts is a producer and is more in charge of the content and format of the show than what specific music plays. I would think the music decision comes from either the director or the actual audio tech.

Besides, Jennifer has never worked Day Planner to my knowledge; she always works PM Edition or later, AFAIK.

Tribune changed Friday December 4th back to Weather Center now. However, I would definitely expect movies on Christmas night and New Years night.

TWC and your Cable Company / Re: Comcast planning to buy Time Warner?

Wouldn't the federal government be obligated to prohibit such a buyout? Comcast would basically have a monopoly if they bought out Time Warner.

anyone think that these issues maybe be due to the possible graphic overhaul TWC is scheduled to get sometime soon?

i mean, it doesn't make sense, but it's a theory?

It's not going to be until at least spring 2010 or later.

What's happening is that DP and PME got a new production staff that appears to be somewhat inexperienced.

Heck, they played the Weekend Outlook music at 1 PM ET today.
