Programming and Graphics / Re: Wake Up With Al

Does Al Roker even have a degree in meteorology? I've heard that he doesn't. How can Al be the "King of morning weather" if he doesn't even have a meteorology degree?

I dont think so. he has a doctorate degree, I doubt if it was in meteorology he'd be working in television.  I think its in communications/general tv production. He has his own company called "Al Roker Entertainment" ARE. http://www.weather.com/tv/personalities/Al-Roker.html

That's an honorary doctorate, in other words, not real.

Haha. He seems like he only knows how to read the weather off the screen. You hear the other OCMs occasionally mention something more in depth, but never from him.

Cool! I have no idea how you guys use Photoshop that way. I can never figure that software out 

I didn't use Photoshop, I have Photoshop but I rarely use it.

What do you use?

He uses Powerpoint. He is was well known for that on his video emulations but i think he still uses it on concepts

Ah. Someone else that uses it besides me.

Mike Bettes should be king of morning weather, not Al.

Someone who only is working/on 1hour in the morning shouldn't be king

Have they been using VIZ since the launch? I haven't seen it. I also notice that when the elements animated while the map is still moving/closing in, it lags/freezes for a brief second. They need to fix that.

They also showed "Millions of people like this. with a TWC logo on the right side"

Showing the Facebook like icon throughout the promo.

Looking at that Vimeo channel, TWC doesn't make their promos? I thought they had a in-house graphics team.

This might seem like a dumb question. How are the graphics advanced when the met doesn't have a remote in their hand? Weather producer?

Correct, one of the producers does it.

Ah. I though maybe they had a timer on it or something, but the producer can sense when they want to advance I guess.

I'd rather have a weather report. I don't like seeing him walk around and talking in an annoying accent and constantly talking about getting the lightning right. This show needs to be canceled, enough shown. Show WEATHER PROOF, a show that I actually can use the info conveyed. Enough said.
