Palm Beach Post – Page Two reports that WPTV’s meteorologist Rob Lopicola has left the station abruptly and nobody seems to know why. Personal issues were mentioned but no one knows for sure. Lopicola was a meterologist at WPTV for 8 years.
Meanwhile 5′s chief meteorologist Steve Weagle has been signed for 5 more years

Did Lopicola storm out of channel 5 gig?
WNBC – NBC affiliate in New York City have made use of their digital spectrum by creating a new channel called 4.4. The new channel will showcase independent original production.
KTVX – ABC affiliate in Utah have named their newly created channel ‘The Hive‘ with a slogan “Sweet TV”.
Looks like WNBC’s production is local, but it could very well be something that came down from the network. I would not be surprised if NBC6 tries the same thing here in South Florida. But would anybody watch? There’s some interest but I don’t think any of these digital channels will draw a significant crowd there is too many other channels out there and that internets thing.

For some of us on the eastern side of things, Easter is today and it’s almost as big a celebration as Christmas is in the US. So Hristos Voskrese, or Hristos Aneste if you’re Greek 
… and to anyone who might be celebrating it today.
I’ve grown f-n tired of the barrage of spam I have to sift thru every day (upwards of 200-300 a day) so I have installed spam controls to, hopefully, help with the spam bots. If seemingly your messages are dissapearing into a black hole it’s because they might have been inadvertedly marked as spam, so if you are really concerned you can use the tip link and let me know
7 already giving preview of the new graphics?
The new promo “See It on 7″ with the weird 7 logo and glass-looking elements must be a preview of 7′s new graphics. I’m speculating here but we’re 4 days away from sweeps and last time around the all-red themes with chrome showed up in the May of 01 sweeps promo, with the graphics debuting in November ’01.
