They're back in the HD studio for the second half of Day Planner today. I wonder if construction is finally complete.

They doing Day Planner from the Lightning Rod studio today. 
The lighting for the key wall is pretty terrible, and the camera in front of the key wall starting going into stutter-motion earlier.
They have an interesting stand-up desk with two desktop computers where the OCMs can work with the maps.
EDIT: I've been informed that this is the Digital Media Center that people have been talking about. I'm really behind on the TWC info.

They have at least two HD control rooms. Kyle Smith might have said there's a third one, but I'm not completely sure of that.

Sell the studio and move operations to 30 Rock.

Yeah, you can see the structure of the new green screen in the HD studio; it's curved at the bottom like the one in the old Weekend View studio so that they can have the floor in the shots without any negative effect.
Maybe they should also fix the lighting in the studio while they're at it. >_>

I don't know if anyone noticed it (besides when I mentioned it in the chat), but those couches are the ones that were supposed to be used in the HD studio when they built it. Apparently they kept them in storage in case they wanted to use them for something.
Looks like they finally found a use for them!

The Hurricane Central key wall in the old studio also had the red light, but that area doesn't exist anymore. Apparently they have a new key wall with a red light now.

Adam was with TWC in the late 90s, IIRC; I think he became an on-camera apprentice around 2004 or 2005.

No, they went into Storm Alert with Rita much earlier because of the hype from Katrina. They went into Storm Alert at 8 PM ET (IIRC) on Thursday night prior to landfall early Saturday morning.

Programming and Graphics / Re: New Left Area on former HD LDL shows
« on: August 29, 2010, 01:30:43 AM »OK, so the blank space is for an ad.
What I don't understand is what is going to happen with during 16% HD. Can the LDA be local because how can the LDA be on the National Feed but not the Local Feed if a 16% LDL is going to be used with the Local Feed (unless BOTH the 33% and 16% LDLs will be shown WITH the LDA).
The LDA is intended to show national information while the LDL displays local information.

Everything Else TWC / Re: General TWC Discussion
« on: August 13, 2010, 03:10:27 AM »Just like Your Weather Today with ABRAMS and BETTES...and they are RARELY together. Just drop the last names.Does anyone know what happened to Chris Warren and Alexandra Steele? Ever since, that "adult oriented Tomorrow's Talker" segment, they haven't been on WC or on TWC ever since.That was quite the segment. But yeah,as everyone else is saying,they're probably just on vacation.
What was this "segment"?And how come Jim is never on...after all, HIS name is part of the show title.
Speaking of which, Jen Carfagno. Is she technically still one of the hosts of First Outlook, and if so who is her co-anchor? Now that Jeff Morrow has been making more appearances, is he the co-host still?
Yes, Jen is still an anchor of First Outlook with Scott Williams as her co-anchor. Jeff Morrow is now anchor of early Weekend View as well as a Monday-Wednesday fill-in.

That's absolutely nothing new. Norcross has been on staff for two weeks now, and Dr. Knabb has worked mornings since he started. I can't believe Newsblues is reporting that as news.

« on: August 10, 2010, 02:09:11 AM »Whats going on with Weather Proof....the last time I asked Stephanie on twitter she was saying it would premiere in July...granted things change...but I'm surprised I didn't see it on there...I mean after all they did make a season 2. Any body have a clue whats going on?
Steph mentioned it on the air today; TWC is holding off the premiere until the fall just like network TV.
