Everything Else TWC / Re: Severe WX, TWC only "breaks in" on specials - different areas

It's always worse on weekends. Methinks there's no one there to authorize the full preemption and the overtime for OCMs that would be required to pull off said preemption.

Ding, ding, ding.

As well, its a hell of a job for master to pull off break ins. It throws off the timing like you wouldn't believe.

The usage of music and the way that everything was done in relation to the teasers seemed full controlled to me. I think the Weekend Weather Center crew likes using those types of transitional effects. As for the lower thirds, I'm pretty sure full control fixed that this week, as I posted earlier in this thread.

Right now, and more so as time goes on, Master and all of the control rooms will have the exact same abilities.

Tonight, my most recent purchase consisted of...

Lip gloss.  It's amazing, I know.  Contain yourselves.

I once dated a girl who wore lip gloss that tasted like Maple Syrup.

What about me Ky?

To turn you in to the devil, that would require exponents that would double the devil since your name is 6 letters. Devilometry, learn it people!

666 = devil.

Lets do some math...

      If Devil = 666
          666 = 3 numbers
 3 numbers = 3 Variables
3 Variables = 3 Letters
  3 Letters = Gil

Solve for Gil:

          Gil = Devil

  I knew it all along!

Everything Else TWC / Re: New HD Studio Website and Tour!

« on: May 03, 2008, 11:32:06 PM »

That studio looks really small. It also looks like they will broadcast all the shows in one set, which would get boring after awhile. I like having different shows airing in different sets like how it is in the old (current) studio. But I really like the backdrops and overall design. Very modern. The city backdrop reminds me of the one used in one of my local TV stations, WPVI.
 

The one set, it configurable for 11 different sets with a rotating desk.
