Local Forecast / Re: Weather Channel Presents: Best of Smooth Jazz II

So the CD is set to be released today. Anyone going to go and buy it? I was planning on getting it at Wal-Mart, but I checked their website and it says it's not available in stores. I guess I'll have to check at FYE (the only other place around that sells CDs) to see if they have it; according to their website, it's in stock, but I don't know if it will actually be in store.

If anyone's interested, I found a video of Alexandra from 2001 when she was still at WJLA in Washington, DC. I was browsing television archives from the September 11th attacks on archive.org, and just so happen, the ABC coverage was from the Washington, DC affiliatte where Alexandra worked.

Alexandra is in the video at the 4:25 point when they take a local break for weather from GMA: http://www.archive.org/details/abc200109110831-0912

At 5:02 AM ET when Jennifer was switching from (what looked to be a) WPS-generated Infrared satellite view to a Viz|Weather-generated Midwest Forecast map, static came up on the wall behind her for about five seconds.

Haven't seen one of these in quite a while... Satellite LF at 4:08 AM ET. 

Edit: Hmmmm, my IntelliStar just cued during the commercials at 4:14 am.

Strange. Watching the 2 AM ET rebroadcast and some of Julie Martin's recorded shots were in HD, but others were in SD with the |HD| pillarbox bars on the sides of the screen.

I just noticed this during one of Julie Martin's live reports: The square things on the microphones (they have a name, I forget that they're called at the moment) now have  the TWC logo on two sides and the |HD| logo on the other two alternating sides.

It looks like all mics have not received the update. Jorma Duran's mic from his live shots tonight in Wisconsin does not have the |HD| sides.

Yesterday towards the end of the first hour, Dave pretended to spill a cup of ice tea all over Kim and fumbled with the cup (which was empty of course).  "Oh, I guess that was the empty one" he said.  Kim then said "And I gotta work two more hours with him". 
In the last hour, he also asked for a refill of water:  "Roscoe!  Refill!"  Kim then said: "When I get home, I'm gonna have more than just water."  Great seeing those two reunited since the late 1990s.

I have both those moments on tape. I'll upload them later.

So now that it's been a week since all the shows have gotten new graphics and music, which show's graphics and music do you now like best?
