LOL, Jim better take some time off. He may be spending lots of time at TWC if Bertha comes our way. 

Actually if Bertha comes or way, Jim will probably be the first OCM they'll send out in the field.

Did master control loose the openers for EEWC? To start the past two segments, there was just a black screen instead of showing the Travel or Weekly Planner openers.

Local Forecast / Re: Do you want the K (1 min 30 sec) flavors at :18 and :48 to be gone?

« on: July 03, 2008, 07:28:50 PM »

I like the 1:30 K flavors at :18 and :48. Not only do they add more variety to the local forecast segments, they provide an extra 30 seconds for the Weekly Planner and Tropical Update at :20 and :50, respectivly. I could care less about length of the cut of music playing.

I would only want the 2:00 flavors at :18 and :48 under one condition: the three-day extended forecast would have to return to the IntelliStar.

No LF opener played at 1:48 AM ET. It went straight to the LF after the local ad inserts.

That happened again just now at 12:48 PM ET.

A&B is in the expert desk, not at the TWC LCD display.

D'oh! 

I guess I should've double checked the studio tour before I made this.

It probably is; it's just getting really annoying.

And this, my friend, is why I like the chroma key better than the video projector wall.
