Twi things I noticed about EWN Weekends: 1) On Saturday evening, at approximately 5:35pm, they aired an "Eyewitness News Brief". It last about a minute and half, summarized three top stories and had a check on the weather. How long have they been doing this on weekends? 2) I noticed the Sunday morning EWN Brief during GMA Weekend was done from inside the studio and not the newsroom flashcam. Why do the weekday EWN Briefs still originate from the newsroom if the studio is available? Is the newsroom flashcam operated from a different control area where, I presume, the studio and "Live!" are being controlled from?

They haven't and from what I remember reading on WABC's AccuWether Chat Board, Bill Evans and Lee Goldberg had been opposed to 7 day forecasts because of how easily just the 4th and 5th day of 5 day forecasts could change. This was about two or three years ago and they said they didn't believe the technology available then could help make a proper 7 day forecast so, I'm assuming, they feel comfortable with whatever technology they currently have to forecast out to day 7.
