Fortunately it's only 72 degrees in Midtown, Manhattan today with a low chance of rain.  Had this been last week during the scorching temperatures, or in the dead of winter, the situation would have been worse.

 

PIX his back to imposing Nexstar's five minute only preview of their live stream. It was unrestricted during earlier breaking coverage.

 

On top of that, the time it takes for a commercial to play is also counted against the preview.

 

Dan is getting his overtime today!

That's dumb.

So much for Nexstar’s statement that it is committed to news.  Making it difficult isn’t commitment to anything but the bottom line.

Where are the graphics coming from? I assume no one was able to get into PIX Plaza just to set graphics up

 

Also this rain could cause issues for the situation, hopefully the rain doesn't make the bldg stop shifting again.

 

Update: at 5:02, it seems like they don't have a reference of time since the anchor on scene thinks it's still before 5 "approaching 5 o'Clock"

They are also running commercial breaks now so they do have some control of what is being shown on air. But it’s the only story they are covering.

To be fair, it's an extremely local big story for them.
