I agree with Mike.  EE has not been as good since Jennifer Lopez left the show, and Alexandra started.
But, nothing we can do about it

I wonder if Alexandra will keep her position on Evening Edition when she returns from maternity leave? And on that note, I wonder who her (possible) replacement will be?

I've still never been to Quiznos. They've built one just down the road but I've never been to it yet.

Where did u get that cloud background?

I found it online, then edited it a bit.

I got a 403 error

Copy the link and then open it in a new window/tab. They must not like hotlinking.

9/10. Why is the city name below if it's supposed to be in the middle?

The city names are not supposed to be in the middle; they're in the correct place. Here is a screenshot of the real thing:

What I think the problem was is that most users here have already seen all this hurricane footage on DJ's YouTube account, so they weren't too enthusiastic about seeing it again. If it had been fresh footage, then I think the reaction would've been much greater.

Still, I know you put a lot of time into this update, Gary, and I'm sure everyone here appreciates that.

Everything Else TWC / Re: The Weather Channel | HD Discussion

Jae, I agree with the whole TV screen thing.  I'd prefer the key wall over that

Same here. It's really hard for me to see some of the text on the video wall.

Also, as you said Jae, they need to stop with the production music and on the fly openers and use the music and graphics that came with the actual show package. I was hoping they'd stop doing this on the June 2 relaunch, but I was wrong.

I've noticed that they seem to actually be using the on the fly openers even more now than they have before.

Local Forecast / Re: Local on the 8s during shows

« on: June 23, 2008, 09:57:44 AM »

Most of the time when a show is playing, I don't see a Local Forecast... I was up all night, and TWC was playing Forecast Earth and WWCH over and over and over, and I swear, I didn't see a true LF for three hours.

Maybe I'm just delusional?   

You're delusional.

A true "Local On The 8s" plays at the top and bottom of the hour during long-form programming (Forecast Earth, WWCH, etc.) Sometimes during long-form programming, network control will cue the L-bar corner forecast on the 8s, but that doesn't happen all the time.

I was just watching the end of yesterday morning's FO, and to paraphrase Jen...

"We've been over [in the HD studio] rehearsing, so you should see us in HD pretty soon."

Interesting, I would assume FO rehearsals means that they're within 2-3 weeks of going HD, and I wouldn't be surprised if they go HD even before Weekend View; perhaps it could be as early as Monday.

I wonder if we could see FO in the HD studio tomorrow morning.

OCMs & Personalities / Kristin Dodd presents Adam Berg a special gift

« on: June 22, 2008, 12:35:21 PM »

Since Kristin knows that Adam likes to barbecue and Adam was on the phone to a girl and mentioned he was out of condiments, Kristin bought Adam a bottle of ketchup, mustard, and mayo.
