Nah.  Lights are never on in my house anyway.  The only time they are on is when parents are reading news paper in morning, when we take showers.  That's about it.  Otherwise, we watch TV in the dark (and that's usually only a couple hours total for the day).

I also like Weather Center.  Very basic, and general

My fox afilliate recently changed their logo, but not to the O&O logo.  They use a simple logo.  Graphics are in-house, except for the "coming up next" graphics.  And their regular gfx are in-house, and they suck!

I LOVE the temp maps

I give the new precip maps a thumb down as well    I'd prefer the solid color.

I remember this being mentioned somewhere too, but not about Jeanetta.  I remember reading that an OCM mentioned that one of their own was in a car accident.  I can't believe it's been nearly 2 and a half years since she's been gone!  What a horrible situation for her to go through!  I, too, am glad that she is okay!

It's more interactive with viewers, and I like that.  That is what a local station here is trying to do at 6:30, make it a little more interactive (with Twitter as well).  I like the new Abrams and Bettes WC.  I like the whole new weather center

I'm pretty sure Stephanie got pissed at Tetiana Anderson during a live shot.  She was facing the tv screen asking Tetiana a question (which I assume she was supposed to find the answer), and Tetiana said "well I don't know" (or something like that)  When that was said, I don't think Steph knew the camera was still on her, she threw her arms up in the air and looked angry.  I could be wrong though, but it is what I took it as..

Do you know the time of the 5-10 minute period this occurred?

Can't really remember.  haha.  Sorry.    It happened kind of quick, but it's just what I saw.  Maybe it was for something else..who knows?

Samantha tries too hard to fit in, and have a personality.  I really don't think she is herself.  Then again, I don't know her personality at all, but she always seems uncomfortable.  She sometimes stumbles over words as well.

First off with the economy.  It is getting really bad.  So bad, to where I cannot go to my dream college   I have to go to community college, and then transfer out.   I am not too sadened, because at least I am going to college.  My parents keep getting hours cut at work, which worries them, and myself.  My aunt just lost her job.

Second- about pictures on TV, ect.  I think that these news outlets are trying to become more interactive with technology.  A local news station is doing the same thing TWC is doing, the twitter thing.  It's interesting.

I'm not sure why your tying college to the economy, because there's really no connection. Things like tuition and textbooks are through the roof regardless of what shape the economy is in.

No, No.  I wan't saying the economy is why college is so expensive. Because of the troubled economic times, MY family has been hit by it, as in, not enough money to send me to college. A year ago looked really good for me to go to an in-state school.  Now, that has changed, drastically. Must have not made that part clear.  Sorry about that.  I know college is very expensive, and the economy has nothing to do with the costs.

The only shows that I remember watching on Cartoon Network were Scooby Doo, Dexters Lab, Cow and Chicken, Courage the Cowardly Dog, a Pup named Scooby Doo, Tom and Jerry.  That's pretty much all I can remember.  I was a Nickelodeon kid.
