New Local on the 8s: Entirely new graphical look for Local on the 8s, coupled with new audio, will present a richer, more detailed local weather forecast every 10 minutes.
Interesting line from the MB article:
"HD viewers will see an enhanced sidebar (shown above) with more detailed weather information including barometric pressure, tides and moon phases"
Wonder if the full sidebar will make it to the SD viewers? We'll know soon enough!
After reading through posts and such, I seriously hope that for TWC's well being that this isn't the final product. That looks half-for a studio. The anchor desks look like they're made out of white cardboard that has been folded and cut to form a desk. The floor/stage area for that (the 'desk') just appears to be a large plastic box-like platform and the entire floor looks terrible where you can see the 'stage' ending. What in the world are they thinking? This is a studio? I sincerely hope they're also going to make more use of the space they have, but given that the weather producer desk is now out in the floor where the old desk w/ the four monitors were, I'm thinking that's unlikely. Goodness, TWC, what in the world have you done to your once beautiful studio.
Sad to say, I would not be at all surprised if "weather all the time", will be seen by TWC as justification to increase the amount of long form programming, if anything. If the above schedules are right, this may be exactly what is happening.
On the other hand, maybe the above schedule is only Monday night, no studio programming to allow them to make the final changes in the evening and overnight before Tuesday morning.
