Major screw up by WZZM with Coast Guard fireworks

Unread post by dwp49423 »

For the past few days, WZZM had been publicizing that they were going to live stream the Coast Guard Fireworks/Musical Fountain/Drone Show finale. As I type this it is 10:15pm and their YouTube page has not yet gone live. It was up to 300 people waiting for them to go live at 10:00 and has been dropping slowly and about 10:20, the "starting soon" screen changed to "video not available"

Their 13Plus app was still showing normally scheduled programming.

Did Tegna ever drop the ball on this one. Hype up covering an event that alot of people wanted to see but didn't feel like fighting the crowds to do so and then fail to actual cover the event. Plus they removed an article from their website stating they were going to stream the event sometime after it started but coverage did not.

Reading their FB page, they are claiming technical difficulties but will post a recording later tonight. Probably forgot there would be a high concentration of wireless devices at the stadium so a 5G backhaul might not work.
