During TNT's broadcast of the Coke Zero 400 last night:



Apparently Meatwad drives a Dodge in NASCAR now.

For the first time in what seems like a week, I've spotted a blue L3rd on Weather Center!

No HD LDL or LDA at all on FO today. The blank LDA box keeps sliding in at the start of every segment, but they quickly remove it. Now, at the bottom of the hour, this appeared:

What's up with the blacked out version of the old TWC HD logo bug?

OCMs & Personalities / Re: New OCM - Crystal Egger

Here's how I see the whole situation. These older OCMs aren't going to be around forever. While I don't think NBC will lay anyone off anytime soon, I believe a few OCMs will retire in the next few years, so they need new talent now to learn the ropes at TWC now so they will be ready in a few years to replace the older OCMs.

This morning, I saw the national SD LDL show white boxes for icons, like how the HD LF has done in the past.

Mark just posted some new pics on FB of what looks like is the STUDIO! I gotta say this... I LOVE it. It's so pretty!

(click on the word STUDIO).

Looks like they recycled parts of the old Weekend View studio.

Sometime between Sunrise Weather/early Weekend View and late Weekend View on Saturday, they slightly changed the look of the tropical titlebars.





Notice the font change and the color scheme of the middle text line.

During the 11:30 AM ET segment of DP, they showed an old Projected Path graphic with hurricane watches and warnings on the Florida east coast (the path looked like it was from Andrew in 1992, I think). Heather quickly skipped by the graphic after realizing that it wasn't the correct graphic.

Was the outdoor activity forecast discontinued? I haven't seen it on my STAR in nearly a year, even after the traffic maps being discontinued. I still, however, see the schoolday forecast during the school year.

It's still alive and well. I suppose because you have more products on your STAR, the OAF gets bumped to a lower priority.

The 8:58 PM ET local forecast failed, causing the emergency feed to be cued up. Eventually, the local forecast did properly cue, but was abruptly cutoff right at the top of the hour for the Brian Williams oil spill special.
