Went to watch The Masters at 11 am Saturday on KIRO only to see the station sit in black for three minutes before joining late? Hmmmmm. Wondering if it was a network problem switching from the Paramount Plus stream to full network.
"I am no longer at Komo 4." Thanks. Longtime Weather Anchor Rebecca Stevenson confirms that she left the station just before Christmas. Her last Facebook posts are 12/17. She has the Seattle station Quintafecta, having worked at the old NWCN, KING, KIRO, KCPQ and KOMO. Looks like her decision. Wants a new chapter. She was doing mainly weekend evenings for KOMO. Perhaps Stella Sun will move there. She has been sharing weekend mornings with Theron Zahn.
The television technical gremlins seem to be out in force today. KBTC was down for Coast Communications customers in Ocean Shores all of this morning. Its back up now.
ReplyDeletePerhaps there’s a dearth of engineering talent due to corporate consolidation . Too much demanded from too few low wage entry level workers. Maybe a real lack of interest from today’s workforce. I’m going to need those people to work hard to keep my social security checks coming!

Man vs machine as well with the latter winning.
DeleteHi, Wayne! I came across this today: https://dcrtv.com/new-dcrtv-podcast-newschannel-8-from-start-up-to-sign-off-with-wayne-lynch/ It was great to hear the interview about NC8 and also your covering the news in the Northwest and also the American U master's program. Take care--- Lisa Novak
ReplyDeleteHey Lisa.... Great to hear from you
Deleteand thanks for listening! How's life my cohort 9 friend?
Is Master Control consolidated in another city? If so, it might take the operator several minutes to notice the problem or have an opportunity to work on it. The other possibility is equipment failure. All it takes is a bad software update. On the bright side, nobody died from lack of golf.
ReplyDeleteAt these big events most everything is rolled and shot from the big production trucks and sent back to NYC. Here's what Seattle missed at the top of Saturday. John Goodman vignette.
