As for KDBC's, their weather set is hidden behind a "revolving" chroma wall, nothing big...

Here's a variety of pics from Memphis past and present...

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.

Yep, that's him. He does the weekends on WLUK.

 

Here is his bio on FOX 11's website:

...He comes to FOX 11 from WHOI in Peoria, Illinois, where he was the Chief Meteorologist.

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?

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.)
