Is WSAZ still doing the weather from the Clay center?

With all these stories about animals on at 5:30 I think they're doing the whole thing from an animal preserve.

Nope...but you can dance with Beeper on the chroma wall (played by the one and only Adam Cunningham, Beeper expert)...

it's a GREAT time...however, Beeper should break dance.

Why did they leave the Clay Center?

It sucked ass. The fiber had too much of a delay for the met and talent to interact plus the shots never really did look all that good to begin with. It was a bad idea from the start.

I agree with the drunken sailor. The set at the clay center was dated, ugly, and the quality was never on par with the rest of the b-cast. It was cheesy.

WSAZ had to pay the Clay Center for the privilege of having the weather facility there, no? I agree that it looked bad and the Mr Wizard segments were hokey. I guess they will keep the balding weather guy who worked the center.

Aw. Part of the charm of the Clay Center was using the green cloth they had to make the 'floating head of death' on the CSO map.

Yes. Instead of pulling out of the contract and possibly paying the Clay Center money for early termination, they instead opted to turn it into a "how to do the news" area. Bascially a set-up and walk away exhibit until their contract expires.

Todd is now doing weather out of the Charleston studio.

I just filed it under ,"another good idea with alot of potential getting done half-assed." , there was alot of potential there, even if they werent really doing extended live hits from the place..

Don't diss on Todd just because he's Follically Challenged!!! He's one of the best in the biz!!! ...so are Spencer, Yohe, Benton & soon to be bald... Irr!!! (Hopefully not Ralston!)

Oh don't worry. We're not dissing Todd "Space Ghost" Borek. We're just commenting about the half assedness of everything around him.

As for Ralston... Who says she isn't bald... Just maybe not on her head!

Did you notice how once the French and Germans started shaving their legs, the American girls started shaving the beav as well?

Always one step ahead...

Cameron, for Jay's sake you may have to post the picture again.
