Just got back from a band show. Three performances today is enough. Soooooo tired.

Yay! I noticed the other night that were getting ever closer to 60,000. Great to see that we've finally reached it!

Ya think they're going to show "Sunrise Weather" Sunday morning, or will they be in full Ike mode?

Right now, they're talking live to a reporter from WLS-TV in Chicago, an ABC affiliate.

At around 1:40 AM ET, did anyone else notice a streaker run through the background of Jorma's shot?

And Paul is still hanging in there for the 1 AM ET hour with Sharon. You can tell his voice is starting to go. Are Adam and Rich not available tonight?

Is Mike Seidel not in HD? They just showed a shot of Mike out there on one of the big LCD TVs in studio, and the HD windowbox bars were present.

Paul and Sharon are on now? WTF?

WTF? indeed. That is very odd.

Off topic: I love the new signature, Kyle. That's just too funny.

And that means we're down to local forecasts at the top and bottom of the hour only. I wonder what flavors we'll see?

OCMs & Personalities / OCM mini interviews

« on: September 12, 2008, 08:37:43 PM »

I just found a neat page on TWC's kids site. Most of the OCMs are there (and a few non-OCMs, too) and they're asked to answer a few questions related to their position at TWC, their education, career, memorable moments, etc.

Hmmm...the comment didn't post. Is something wrong with the site?

It takes a while for them to appear (I believe they have to be manually approved).

What did you ask a question about anyway (in case it doesn't get approved or answered on air)?

Admin, can you adjust my post count to 3000 please? Thanks!

Why do you want your post count reduced? That wouldn't make any sense.

My post count is obnoxiously high. I don't want to be the top poster.

Then stop posting and let everyone else catch up.

Carl Parker mentioned about 10 minutes ago for us to blog with him tonight (http://www.weather.com/blog/weather/8_17183.html?from=tv_welc_relatedcontentleft) - and that comments/questions posted may be featured on air tonight. For the heck of it I left a comment there, and I'm very curious to see if it actually does get featured on air tonight.

I don't see your (or any comments) there. It says "Comments (0)."
