What is interesting is that Carl Parker co-hosted PME today alongside Betty Davis.

They hosted Weather Center as well.

I just caught the end of the 3:00 PM ET hour of Weather Center today, and I saw Alex Wallace and Vivian Brown hosting. Then at 4:00 PM ET Carl and Betty took over.

Everything Else TWC / SkyTracker font anomalies

« on: April 10, 2008, 08:41:15 PM »

For the past few months, I've noticed that the text label Memphis, TN on SkyTracker is using a Helvetica-like typeface as apposed to Interstate, like the rest of the text labels.



Anyone know why this is happening?

What is interesting is that Carl Parker co-hosted PME today alongside Betty Davis. I wonder why they didn't just keep Kelly Cass in her normal time slot and let Carl co-host A&B?

My intellistar hasn't been showing the radar screen all day!

Is there any precipitation in your area?

What the heck is this...?! They're airing WWCH during what TWC has dubbed the "largest severe weather outbreak of the year."

They're a bit shorthanded again today, as well. On YWT Nicole Mitchell and Kevin Robinson were hosting, with Jan Carfagno as travel analist, then on Day Planner, Carl Parker and Alex Wallace are hosting...

Jan? Who's that?

Jen Carfagno's sister.

Local Forecast / Re: TWC HD STAR shot?

In fact, Up until the IS, the narration was 100% pointless, as it didn't read the actual info.

Dating back to 2000, the XL's Current Conditions and Extended Forecast narration was actually useful.

Adding to that, back in the 90's, wasn't it viewers that COMPLAINED about Dan Chandler's narration, resulting in it being removed? It seems like the network did just the same with and without it, over the years.

Wrong... The introduction of the Local Update product on the 4000 in 1995 caused Chandler's narration to be removed.
