FirstNews8 13 Posted December 12, 2006 Author Posted December 12, 2006 WOW, I have seen a lot of stations turning over to that Weather Pod, that is nice.
StormTrack8000 0 Posted December 12, 2006 Posted December 12, 2006 That is such a cool opener (graphic for Viper 7) They have a decent weather center.
Ntropolis 599 Posted December 12, 2006 Posted December 12, 2006 WTKR's "Triple Doppler Forecast Center." They've had this since 2004. A better view from a promo: WAVY's "Super Doppler 10 Weather Center." They've had this since they got their new set in 2004. When it debuted, there was a "10" with a wave thing on the front of the desk, but it was changed not long after. WVEC's "13 News Weather Lab." My least favorite of all the weather centers here, there's something that's so... "officey" about it. They've had this since Super Bowl Sunday 2003, a few months ago they replaced their big silver tube TV with the plasma pictured below.
FirstNews8 13 Posted December 12, 2006 Author Posted December 12, 2006 WOW, those are nice weather centers
Wisco TV Watcher 11 Posted December 16, 2006 Posted December 16, 2006 From Green Bay: WBAY - "Storm Center 2" WFRV - "Storm Team 5" WLUK - "Weather Lab HD" (I wish I could have found a newer screenshot) WGBA - "NBC26 Precision Forecast Center"
FirstNews8 13 Posted December 16, 2006 Author Posted December 16, 2006 Is that Doug Higgins? I remember when he was on WHOI19 Peoria, back in the 90s when I got both Quad Cities and Peoria.
Wisco TV Watcher 11 Posted December 16, 2006 Posted December 16, 2006 Yep, that's him. He does the weekends on WLUK. Here is his bio on FOX 11's website: http://www.wluk.com/bio/higgins.shtml ...He comes to FOX 11 from WHOI in Peoria, Illinois, where he was the Chief Meteorologist.

FirstNews8 13 Posted December 16, 2006 Author Posted December 16, 2006 I really like the KTVT one, its nice
FirstNews8 13 Posted December 20, 2006 Author Posted December 20, 2006 WOW, that is a very small chroma key wall.
bostonmediaguy 124 Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 WOW, that is a very small chroma key wall. WBZ's weather center is in the newsroom. The studio has a larger chroma wall.

sg9018 10 Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 Here is some New York weather centers, WNBC- !st picture used since 2003 WNYW-2nd and 3rd picture used since Apirl 2006 WPIX-4th used since 2004? I will try to get pictures of WCBS and WABC weather centers.
FirstNews8 13 Posted January 7, 2007 Author Posted January 7, 2007 Im not really a big fan od these kind of weather centers. I think there still a little too much advanced, I like just a normal weather center, where the meteorologists actually forecast and all of that. Do like the FOX stations still do that, or is there a weather office?
StormTrack8000 0 Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 Do like the FOX stations still do that, or is there a weather office? Our FOX affilliate, KLJB has a weather office... it's pretty big too (considering KLJB is produced by Independent News Network, which does 14 other areas as well.)
NBC 5 Chicago 196 Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 Here is a better one of WLS (I took that from inside) and a pic of WMAQ's. Thought i had one of WGN. WFLD had one but I don't know if they got an updated one yet or just got rid of it all together.
