GE/NBC in Boston has "technical" problem during the Clarke report? |
|
A curious NBC TODAY event today was the Boston 7 (NBC) broadcast- and this was carried on DirectTV to the area - was without audio - and/or without video - for most of the Clarke story on the Today show. With background noise of someone moving about and sometimes talking/laughing, and with the "problem" only affecting this portion of the broadcast, perhaps GE allowed/encouraged some brave right wing staff to show the Bush Flag by some "technical problem" game playing?
Did any other area have the "technical" problem during the Clarke report?

1. Not here. But my CNN went out last week right before Stern/Bush |
|
story - right after the tease - coming up next, Howard Stern takes on President Bush. Then boom - no CNN. Did not lose ANY of the other 500 channels.
Someone else lost their cable last night during 60 minutes.
We need to keep of record of when where and why.

3. A few years ago on NBC's "Meet the Press" |
|
Jesse Jackson was a guest and when he was speaking there was a loud sound that seemed to be a gunshot. Actually, it was probably a light in the studio that blew out. But that's rather rare on TV.

2. Funny thing about Boston's CBS affiliate |
|
Everytime they reported the Clarke story the reporter would finish by saying, and I paraphase...Clarke's book is being published by Simon and Shuster which is owned by Viacom which also owns this station. I don't think I have ever heard a news report with that type of obsessed disclosure. Are they that afrid of the wrath of the Crooked Ones?

4. I Posted A Similar Comment Last Night.... |

My cable (and internet) went out last night during the second half of the Clarke interview on "60 minutes." Naturally, I assumed that the administration was screwing up the broadcast somehow! I live in a Boston suburb, but it seems that most of Boston had cable just fine.
