1. Yes. It's available for the entire states of Arizona, Oklahoma, and Utah

2. I don't think that they are 100% sure that they know. It could be months before it is rolled out to even a few more states.

That's the HD Studio, right?

I'm pretty certain that there is WAY more in that HD Studio than what is pictured. But I'm not one to argue, so I'm ending it.

Crystal Egger posted a photo of the old 3D green screen area on March 25th when it was new.

It looks like they took the corner of a studio and painted it green.
That would explain why the keying does not look that good from it.
I'm not sure exactly were it is though its still in use.
I wonder if it will eventually only be used as a backup green screen?

That definately wasn't in the HD studio.

Umm....yes it was.

(most hotels have satellite)

That isnt necessarily true.. all the hotels ive stayed at had cable..

I guess it varies on where you go...that was my first experience with cable at a hotel. But then again, I've only been to Atlanta, Hot Springs, Destin, and Orange Beach (twice).

Unfortunately the link to your video seems to be broken.

I just wanted to tell you that I'm back from my vacation in Gulf Shores. Very nice beaches! However, the ads about no more oil are definitely working; I sat in traffic for 4 hours from downtown Mobile to Gulf Shores. What should have been a 6 hour trip was 10.  And on my way home, I-10 at Pascagoula was completely shut down because of a truck fire, so highway 90 was a slow crawl for about an hour. Just glad to be back home (and did I mention I hate traffic ).

I went to Orange Beach this past June, and we had to deal with traffic as well, except our issue was that lightning struck a power grid that was about 50 feet from me, blacking out the entire city of Gulf Shores, thus no traffic lights.

Also, for some reason, our hotel had cable (most hotels have satellite). With that being said, you probably had satellite at your hotel/condo, so here's a look at the IS down there!

I think this is part of the 'construction'. Heather gave us a behind the scenes look at their 'new key wall' at 12:41 PM ET.

I've always wondered why, on the Weather Bulletin screen, most of the warnings are listed like this:
Tornado Watch
Excessive Heat Warning
etc.

But that the Excessive Heat Watches are listed as:
Excessive heat watch
