I caught that one too. For one, I haven't seen that graphic used in ages (I don't think they're supposed to use it anymore), and lol @ the messed up data on it.

The sun hadn't risen yet during the original airing of WUWA.

I tuned into Weather Center a little late, but I think I saw Bryan Norcross in the teaser. Keep your eyes peeled on tonight's show.

I noticed that when logged out, the login box in the upper right corner of the forums has absolutely no text to describe what the three fields are for. I basically had to guess that the first two were for username/password. No clue what the third box is for.

This article says it is supposed to start next year, but maybe they jumped the gun early.

Jim Cantore is TWC's biggest asset; he will surely be safe for a long time.

I'm surprised they announced it through Twitter and such so long ago without it even going through focus group testing or anything. You'd think that once they make the public aware of it, they'd already be ready for launch. Strange decision there.

« on: July 29, 2010, 04:12:29 PM »Is this the same Bryan Norcross who did nonstop hurricane weather coverage of Hurricane Andrew from his station's studio basement? If so I think he would make a great addition to TWC as a hurricane specialist.Yes, it's him.

They made that Cantore commercial last year; they just brought it back recently.

It's almost comical that they're doing it already for a Tropical Depression!

The red in that LDL makes me think it's something they're gonna use for "Red mode" coverage of major events, especially during hurricane season.

« on: July 15, 2010, 09:41:14 AM »Might have been having problems? In regards to the Digital Media Center i think it may just be for the weather.com launchWhen did they get a table?I kind of like it
I have said it before and I will say it again; I am glad they continue to make use of the old TWC studio on air.
Also, I was watching Weather Center (Tuesday I believe) and it seemed that the entire half hour I watched, Maria LaRosa was in the HD studio sitting at the desk (with the world map as the backdrop) and Jim Cantore was at the "Expert Desk." Not once, to my knowledge, did they use the large video wall in the studio. Maria basically just anchored the show from the desk. I found it interesting.
Did anyone else notice this?
No, that's pretty much how every WC show is done when Jim Cantore is there. He does all of the weather from the expert desk, and whoever is co-anchoring just sits at the desk and handles the news and stories.
