Well, there's no keeping vigil for me tonight; I have no choice but to get up earlier than usual and watch the Day Planner HD launch. I have to wonder if they'll use the desk turned toward the projector wall like they did on Dolly landfall day or if they'll use the little desk like they do on Weekend Now. I guess we'll all see tomorrow.
Day Planner may also wind up covering the Edouard landfall if it winds up happening the way it's projected to, so that'll be interesting. I may have to work, though, but I'll certainly try to record the landfall.
-
I can't wait for the launch, hopefully they'll use a different background than all the rest, even though i'm not sure what backgrounds that haven't used are left to offer, I'm thinking maybe they'll do an EEWC layout with the day planner logo behind them. :thinking:

So, Day Planner in HD has began, and they are indeed doing the show from the big desk, which is turned facing the projector wall just like it was for Dolly day. Also, Cheryl is in for Kim today since Kim had to fill in for Nicole, who is out for the Hurricane Hunters right now.
Jeez, Cheryl really looks dolled up for the appearance.
-
Cheryl looks different in HD.
What I meant by that is that she looks darker, and I almost couldn't recognize her.
Btw, I'm viewing on the SD Channel Feed.
-
Now the intro music is funky.
I just tuned in about 5 minutes ago.

If your watching the SD feed then how do you know what Cheryl looks like in HD? :unsure:

I can picture it in 16:9.
The HD Studio is darker,
and her hair is different, I coudn't recognize her until I heard the voice. ;)

Close to. :rofl: :rofl2:
It even makes it seem like that with the new Haunted type music.

Is it just me, or have they rotated the desk so that they're now doing the show from in front of the PM Edition/Weekend View backdrop?

Yes, that is the PME/WV backdrop. :yes:

That was accidental. ;)

Are you sure that's a backdrop and not a video wall? On the weather.com studio tour, the backdrop in the interview area is different than what's shown on the air.

Master controlled Day Planner is still in SD, likely until Weather Center goes HD. Also, for some reason they're using the Evening backdrop, and their not even supposed to use that backdrop on weekdays anymore.
-
I guess they forgot to put it up yesterday again on PM Edition. Last Monday they had the side evening backdrop up for the first hour or so of Day Planner.

The EE backdrop WAS on PM Edition yesterday. ;) Heck, it was on Weather Center, too.

Yeah, that's what I said. They forgot to put the backdrop away yesterday at the end of PME and take out the daytime one.

That's how it was for the whole show; that's what I meant by "facing" the projector wall. ;)
Also, they managed to use a different cut of music for all six openers during the show; only the top of the second hour actually used the normal opener theme. The top of the first hour used a one-story recorded teaser with an opener on both sides. Also, just like the other shows that went HD, the segment openers aren't nearly as elaborate as the pre-HD openers. For example, the Weekly Planner opener no longer has that "Mon-Fri" animation at the start of it. Also, they used production music for two of the Weekly Planner openers and one of the Travel Delays openers today. I hope this isn't going to be the trend. >_<
