NBC Nightly News on MeTV

Post by SteveS » Sun Jan 08, 2023 7:12 pm

With the Lions pregame show on WDIV at 6:30pm they moved NBC Nightly News to MeTV. Andy Griffith wasn't going down without a fight:

6:30 - 6:32 NBC News
6:32 - 6:40 Andy Griffith
6:40 NBC News for five seconds
6:40 - 6:42 Andy Griffith
6:42 - 6:45 commercials
6:45 - 7:00 NBC News

Also saw NBC football coverage on MeTV a little after 7pm.

Where is master control for WDIV-MeTV 4.3?

Was this a case of automation vs. human being or automation vs. automation?

Not in Detroit, it is wherever all the other Graham Media stations have MC.

I am sure it is failed automation, or automation versus someone trying to fix it.

Another mess this evening. I think it was 15 times between 6:30 - 7pm that it switched between NBC Nightly News and Collector's Call.

Was very frustrating trying to watch collectors call

That sounds like an engineering f-up. I bet someone patched incorrectly or moved video to where it is not supposed to be. Or in the case of network switched video, didn't program something correctly.
