With the “Washington DC” on the colour bar banner, does that mean they switched from NY to a simultaneously running recording in DC?
I’m not up on how the infrastructure routes between NYC and DC. I know that the FNC newsroom cubicle won’t show up in true HD if the program is airing out of DC. So who knows where the techical fault started in this case.
“I know that the FNC newsroom cubicle won’t show up in true HD if the program is airing out of DC.”
I wondered why when FNC is live from DC the guests and reports from the NYC studio are almost SD 16:9 videp?
I’ve also noticed when FNC records segments while live programming is airing the recorded segment is either a very soft 16:9.
It’s still not as bad has MSNBC where most of their b-roll is SD 4:3 and even some recorded studio interview segments are SD 4:3.
All of those weekend segments where Alex Witt interviews someone from MSNBC or NBC News are 4:3 SD.

Not much you can say about that, is there?

It speaks for itself, in a ‘not much to say about itself’ kinda way.

Yeah, but it wasn’t “live”. O’Reilly’s program rarely airs live anyway, plus the “live” bug was not present.

The broadcast failure was live. That wasn’t a problem with the tape; it was a problem airing it.

I don’t think so. The crawler at the bottom kept right on crawling and that was the only “live” part of the transmission.
