Yeah, that's what I was looking at, too.

I wonder how they're going to handle this. Will they go commercial-free? Will they show one-minute local forecasts at 08, :18, :38, and :48, with two-minute flavors at :28 and :58? Will there be new Storm Alert LF music? It's now 8:08 and there has been no local forecasts yet.

They're been using the HD flags on the mics for about a month or two now.

True, especially after seeing that 300-mile Nationwide snoozefest last night. :P

Commercial break at 8:10, then they resumed live coverage at 8:12. No local forecast.

Hmmm...no LF. I guess maybe only at :28 and :58, maybe at :18 and :48? (at least for primetime)
