Looks like city names on SkyTracker are now all Helvetica. I guess we won't have to worry about this now, will we?

I guess not.

Just checked the SD channel, still showing the sat LF.  Same thing on the HD channel.

Do you have the new Blue Bar yet? Perhaps you STAR is updating...

My eyes are starting to hurt. Better go grab a Dew.

No, I live in Hoover, AL.  The blue LDL is only being tested in Atlanta and Pittsburgh.  Still no bar, though.

I just checked out the SD channel and I'm getting the satellite LF, no LDL, and I have cable.  Could this mean anything HD STAR-related?

Is Viz|Weather now being used for all on-air presentations and they've dumped all WPS systems?

That's something that we'll have to find out as we watch.

I like First Outlook's new graphics, but the music isn't that "morningy."

I've got a feeling this type of music might pervade the entire network's image during this relaunch. We'll have to wait and see.

I'm also wondering if we'll see new graphics for A&B; after all, their whole set is designed like their graphics.

The "Live" bug also matches their set, IMO.

Crap; missed the Lot8s opener while I was reviewing my DVR's buffer.

The new Hurricane Authority ad at :47 was an HD version of the usual "100 meteorologists" ad with Dr. Lyons and Forbes at their desks in studio 1A.

Yea, that was the one that I missed.

I thought you saw that one per your post. Didn't you miss the 4:18 CT one?

Also, they've got the new FO lower left-hand corner bug working.

Oh, I saw the 100 Meteorologist one when I posted.  I didn't see it at the time that you were talking about.  Yea, I missed the 4:18 one.  I also saw the bug in the studio shots, but I haven't got a chance to look at the lower third yet.  Have they got the bug fixed there yet?

Yea, they're changing a lot of stuff so that by the time YWT comes on, most everything should be ready.  BTW, I just saw a new Hurricane Authority ad.

Hopefully we'll see new ads and (maybe) hopefully; then again, maybe not the new LF playlist.  Most of the songs this month will come from the new TWC CD.  Oh, I just saw a new Local on the 8s ad in HD.  This is going to be a big day...

Yea, I've noticed the jagged text and the missing live tag.  You also brought up that the "First Outlook" logo is missing from the lower third.  I don't know what's going on with all this, though it's probably tied to the upcoming HD debut.

Is it just me, or are they also using a new (and what appears to be a wireless) remote to control the system?

I just can't wait for YWT this morning and EE tonight.  The graphics look really cool already, but imagine them in HD AND widescreen!!

Created a new thread updating all of the changes...

Okay, that's good!  Easier, too.  I'll go check it out now.
