any word on when the new studio and graphics will be introduced?
Well, from Vivian's special surprise day, it looks like they have converted the former WUWA corner (which was the city backdrop and supposed "couch" corner even before that) to the location for the new, permanent I'm guessing, 3D green screen. That construction looks to be complete. Were there any other renovations being done in the HD studio?
As far as the Global Forecast Center, IDK on that progress.
