They always have multiple major news outlets on as well as weather so they can instantly see when major worldwide events take place.

Ok, I have seen other OCCs and get the weather related news channels. I'm not really getting everyone watching CNN and CNBC constantly. I assumed one individual or team would monitor world events and then disseminate as necessary. Maybe it's just the way it's always been done. Just like FOX news is required to be on in the pilot lounges at all times. Obviously a big event warrants attention.
I haven't seen the scheduling pit either, but wonder what that working environment is like. I think it might be like watching how hot dogs are made. Some things are better left unseen. Ed's video did leave me scratching my head wondering about the motivation though. I guess I'm the only one.

I walk past the OCC multiple times a week. More than one cable news channel is always on the screens.
It's not paranoia if they really are out to get you though, right?
