Ntropolis 596 Posted December 12, 2006 Share 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 January 7, 2007 Author Share 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 Share 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.)
