It would be interesting to see how letterboxing would work with the Intellistar. Unless they come up with a way to start scrolling the current information within the letterboxed screen.

Wow thats crazy! I look forward to the changes.

Not to mention, there is a helluva lot of stains on the carpet in the GFC. LOL

I haven't watched TWC all weekend or today as well. Have they done anything else to the Global Fcts Center yet?

Not that I am aware.  Dr. Forbes was in the "Digital Media Center" doing severe weather updates, so maybe they are working on it.

Ah, good news I guess. For all we know, they could just be putting in new carpet. 

You've got a point

Anyone notice the changes to the Global Forecast Center?
All computers and desks are gone, and I believe they are going into another reconstruction mode.

If so its about time for them to update that room/office. It didn't look like a very good environment to work in with the lights always being so dim. If they are making changes, I can't wait to see them.

It just seems like there is a lot of blank room back there. And the Global forecast center room isn't being shown anymore, its like they're taking it down.

Sad to see, but I can't wait to see what their plans are.

I have no idea how 16:9 suddenly became 10:9.. I saw the post that said 10:9 but letterboxing SD is, in TV classes, simply known as letterboxed 16:9 on a 4:3 picture

EDIT: Oops Andy, you edited.. my mistake

Sorry, I meant 16:9

I paid $5.15 in Washington DC today. Down from $5.50 earlier this week.

Does the weather channel plan to broadcast in 10:9 on the SD feed like fox news?

The new graphics are nice but it seems TWC has lost any continuity with their graphics. With the HD launch all of their shows had unique packages but still felt connected. Now it seems things are a mess of old and new graphics. The lack of decent themed music is disappointing as well.

I agree Martin. I'm sure they'll roll out with new graphics for all shows soon.

Danielle Banks has been getting a lot of on air time it seems recently. She doesn't have a degree in Meteorology, and I think she does a better job than some of the other OCM's, and she is certainly more professional. She deserves a regular time slot.   

I agree completely, plus she's definitely a beauty.

I think the new WCL opener still has the evening feel. I wish they had the jazzy music opener.
