I don't think this has been addressed with the whole Weather All the Time thing, but I hope they overhaul some of these outdated 2008 graphics they're still using on certain live programming. I know it's such a minor thing, but it really bugs me that there lacks uniformity nowadays.

Yeah, I think it's really time for a relaunch, which is what I feel this will be.  TWC has so many graphics packages floating around right now.  Granted, I know the average viewers couldn't care less how something looks (they just want their weather information), but I think uniformity is still important for a professional look, which sometimes I question if TWC even has.

Was anyone else watching the 6AM CDT WV this morning.? I did and I saw something interesting.  I saw a new Tornado Central graphic. It looks just like the Breaking Now that is on the Weather All The Time vid. I think it was an error because after that graphic, TWC went to the Winter Weather Update.

The promo segments they keep doing about Weather All The Time do have new map graphics so I would expect all other graphics to change to.

Coming back from break the show promo graphic is appearing at the top left using the new graphics font instead of appearing at the bottom left of the LDL.

This may be the beginning of the changes!

During WUWA the show promos were not running on the bottom left when returning from break. They came back at 7am.
I have not noticed the LDL show promos at the bottom before going to break.
Makes me wonder if the changes are going to happen Friday November 1st.

I haven't seen anything posted about this, unless I missed it.  If so, I apologize.

Both Kim Cunningham and Maria LaRosa posted pictures on Facebook saying it's their last time one the "old set."  A new one will debut in about two weeks to go along with the new changes.

Thanks for the post Kyle it's the first i've heard about this.

so 2 weeks means between Monday November 11th and Friday November 15th.

Looked up Kim and Maria, and you’re right. I’m starting to think this will be a Major Relaunch! Bigger than 2005! A New Set??? I’m surprised! Wonder what they will do to the set? Also wondering, what will debut first the graphics, or the set? Did anyone watch Prospector’s Season Debut last night? I saw the end of it so I could watch WCL. After the credits, I saw something that looked like an ID. It looked the ID’s I’ve seen on TWC’s latest YouTube Videos. I didn’t hear as I was on my laptop with headphones and was not expecting it, and it happened fast. Did anyone else see it? Was it an ID or a Prospectors copyright? 

Not much happening today, DP was in the studio I can’t remember the name of. Did it used to be Lighing Rod’s? It wasn’t the GFC. Wonder where WCL will be later today?

Here are the posts from Kim and Maria about the set.

I wonder just how much of a change the studio is going to get since a couple years ago they replaced and updated the green screen and video wall?

They started using the other studio, I Believe is 1C,  for Day Planner.
The green screen for that studio needs more lighting.

On his facebook page in response to a fan, Mike Bettes said the changes will take place on the 12th. He also said that some, but not all shows will be renamed on that day.

I should already know this. But did the area where the OCM's sit rotate?

Ok I thought so. I only asked because I seen the video wall and the desk was in a different position.
