I'm guessing if TWC decided to cut back on studio hours, they looked at the cost of keeping the HD studio as is, and decided it didn't make sense for the number of hours it would be in use.

So they made a smaller main set, almost a supersized local news style set, that could give them a number of "looks" but at a lower cost. If half the studio is "dark" that's half the maintence cost.

As of right now, it looks like the video screens would be the most expensive part of the set. The set pieces themselves look pretty basic.

I think this is a perfect analysis of what's going on as to why they would remodel the studio even tho they will be spending next to no time using it live anymore.

Pretty! I wonder if a base will go on top? Where did you find this? Its not on dave clark's twitter feed.

More people are figuring out that TWC no longer does live shows after 2pm on weekends and they are not happy.
Again I can understand getting rid of the 10pm and 1am shows but there is no excuse for having nothing after 2pm on weekends.
It's ironic MSNBC used to go to tape at 12pm on weekends as they cut the live hours and then eventually changed that are are now live to 5pm.

Been that way for days maybe even weeks. Too bad, that page would most likely have the correct schedule since it's TWC's homepage.

Could you also ask him if the IntelliStars are going to change to the new look as well for the Local Forecasts in the morning? LOL

That's really an awesome platform. Looks like a lot of LED's. I'm thinking the anchor desk is going on there. And if you look closely in the picture you can see the new Graphic for Winter Storm Central.... I like it already!!!!

I present to you..... the new weather channel desk.

Also, as we knew, they just mentioned this was the last episode of on the radar..



new outside facade

So is it safe to say those side areas are completely dead? I just don't know why they would take down a great studio, only to rebuild a half of one.

 it looks good, this is what they should've done to begin with. They were able to fit everything they needed into this one set... props to them.

Could be that TWC is using other areas. In 2008, they only had the HD Studio.  Now they have the Media Center, GFC, etc.
Don't shoot me but is the LO8 playlist staying? It grew on me.

I love the music they're playing, but instrumentals would be awesome instead. i doubt they will change to that though. they will probably have something similar to what they have had in their promo videos, and what we are listening to now.
