Programming and Graphics / When is Forecast Earth recorded?

« on: May 12, 2008, 01:07:13 AM »

Does anyone know when Forecast Earth each week is recorded? Because at the beginning of this weekend's show, they showed that surveillance video of the cars flying around in a tornado, which happened on Thursday, IIRC. If I had to guess, I would say the show was probably recorded on Friday.

Slow day here today.

It's a holiday. Every one is probably spending time with their families.

You know you're bored when you emulate the ongoing satellite LF freeze...

They're now doing a semi-live edition of EEWC with Carl Parker, which makes for an extra long night for him since he'll also be doing live segments during the 2AM ET hour.

It looks like all of EEWC is going to be live tonight. They've been showing radars and warnings all throughout the show.

I drive a red one. 

Does you car ever not start up? When I first got it baack in late 2006 I was having some problems starting it, like I'd put the key in and turn it, and it would make a clicking sound and not turn over. It happened a few times back in the winter of 06-07, then after that it didn't happen again until the last week or so. It actually happened to me today. I tried to start it up a few times then after a few more minutes, it started up fine. I thought it might have been due to the cold weather in the winter, but it just happened again, so that's obviously not the problem. It's been to the garage a few times for it, and the starter's been replaced, so that's most likely not the problem. I'm honestly puzzled.

Someone should seriously fix the satellite LF. It's still frozen.

Still? I guess they're taking Saturday night off. I wonder if it will be down all weekend? You'd think someone would've noticed it by now at TWC and either fixed it or reverted to the emergency feed for LFs.

Edit: And with the satellite LF being frozen, satellite viewers will not obviously be able to see all the warnings in effect on this very stormy and severe night. This is posing a safety threat. TWC really needs to get around to fixing this soon.

Weekend Weather Center is still using the Weekend Now backdrop. It also appears to be master controlled, which is odd. (it's normally full controlled on weekends)

It was full controlled.

You know, it's possibly the biggest severe weather outbreak of the spring going on right now, but TWC is showing Forecast Earth. I just sent them another scathing email, not like it's going to change anything.

Maybe if we all send emails they'll get the picture. Who did you send the email to?

anyone notice the satellite feed has been stuck for an hour now? They're showing the screen with Orlando, Tampa, Miami and atlanta for the entire lf.

Yes. At the 4:58 PM ET LF, right before the IntelliStar queued, I saw the satellite LF make an appearance, and it was frozen on that screen. And it happened again at 6:38 PM ET. I saw the satellite feed for a split second.
