What the hell is going on over at The Weather Channel? Is the control room
staffed by a pack of drunk, dyslexic monkeys? I've seen poor production but
they must be going for some kind of record over there. They can't hit a
single commercial break with anything resembling a smooth segue.

The mike on the on-air talent is either off, way off on volume, or has the
mid-range set so low they sound like they're auditioning for the role of
Darth Vader. They can't get the graphics to work with their script. The
various displays won't cue up or the wrong one gets cued.

The on-air talent is sitting at their desk used for the two-shot, reading
the script, off camera, while the wrong graphics run on and on and nobody
does anything about it. You can tell from the voice of the forecaster
reading the script that they must be frantically waving at the engineers to
fix it.

And this is just tonight! This has been going on for months. But, it's
really bad right now. Does anyone know anyone who works there and can they
give us all out here in television land some insight as to what is going on
at The Weather Channel? It's embarrassing.

The only thing I saw was after midnight, when the top button on Sharon
Resultan's jacket kept popping open...

She has a great body! Pictures? I watched the first few minutes of her shift, which started at 9:00 PM Pacific. And she was experiencing technical difficulties as I outlined above. Sloppy television.
