I was very interested to see what the new weather center was like from the Weather Channel. I'm a total weather geek but have really discounted the weather channel as they seemed to you sub-standard technology and meteorologists. This all looks to be a step in the right direction.
I did find a couple of interesting things about their virtual tour that I didn't really like. There were several times where they claimed to have made an improvement to make the studio more earth friendly. These statements were overly vague. For instance; "a portion of the materials came from less than 500 miles away." That means basically nothing. One ounce of 200 tons is "a portion." I also found it funny that they made a big deal of telling us they used 170 square feet for recycling bins... and then didn't show where they were on the diagram.
Obviously I still hold some skepticism towards The Weather Channel but they are growing on me a bit. I'll check them out in HD and see if they can sway me any further.
