Looks like they're looking for another meteorologist.

Yeah, I don't understand their strategy. Why not just extend the 9 pm newscast to 10:00 on the dot (instead of 9:57) and start there with the actual top stories?

Mark Suppelsa was on Roe Conn today saying the 9:57 start time is trickery to keep viewers

IIRC, the drawings are done in the former home of Bozo (Studio 1?), much of which is still intact behind the green lottery backdrops. It's a big space, and I wonder what they'll do with it.

That too is my recollection.

Hmmm

Ouch. I actually don't think that observation was too off-base. Setting the backdrops aside, I think 7's temp desk is better than WGN's. The anchor desk is the biggest problem with 'GN's studio; it looks cheap, messy, and very outdated. IMO, 9 needs a new set way more than 7 does. But, who knows? 7's renovation came out of nowhere, maybe WGN will surprise us soon. What would they use for a temp set... the newsroom? That could get problematic with CLTV... I wonder if that's one issue that's holding them back.

In late 2004 when WGN was constructing their current set, they temporarily moved their old desk to a studio next door to the news studio. I don't believe they ever used the newsroom.
