jbnews 345 Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 Just heard the new theme for the first time. It's pretty good! I like Nick and Melody. But, Chris was a bit excited during his weather segment. Probably first day nerves.
Viper550 292 Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 Meet the Press has been exceptionally rough; a lot of glitching/signal loss. Not a very good first impression if you can't even transmit your own programs with stability. Also, they added an NBC Boston bug in the top-right just in case people are absolutely positively sure they've finally found it.
TheRolyPoly 2592 Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 Apparently, according to TV schedules, This is New England is airing at 9:30am. Its supposed to be on at 11:30am but have stupid Open House on instead. Hoping they fix that soon because that's what the original schedule looked like.
ED2 144 Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 The studio cameras on NBC Boston are set up in a way that makes colors on set look duller, and the overall picture quality look not as sharp as it probably should be. I noticed the same thing the last time I watched KNSD in San Diego (this is probably some standard that NBC engineers have set up for NBC Boston, KNSD, and other stations...) In comparison, the picture quality was much sharper and colors were brighter on WHDH.
jbnews 345 Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 Here is their open at 10am this morning. Very well done for their first day. Nick and Melody are great anchors. And that music...that music... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCGPL0nFjBI

Rusty Muck 4405 Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 WBTS officially signs on the air as NBC Boston: Wrong 1962 peacock. You had ONE job...
Sam Horn 78 Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 "We're NBC on channel 10, just not THAT 'NBC10!'" Y'know... I've been wondering if, behind the scenes, Sinclair and WJAR haven't been kicking up some dust about that. They're the legacy NBC 10 in the region, after all. And with how tightly packed the Boston and Providence-New Bedford markets are, there's some significant overlap in northern Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts. (Edited to fix my outdated recollection of who owns WJAR...)
A3N 1002 Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 I'm a bit surprised that corporate didn't force the Groove Worx music pack and the window monitor wall backdrop. From the little I've heard of the theme, doesn't sound too bad. Maybe they'll make it the groupwide music package...
jbnews 345 Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 Tried to watch their news at 6. Only one problem. They didn't post their live stream link!!
Weeters 1969 Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Some set photos: [MEDIA=twitter]815509203611713536[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=twitter]815508358119694336[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=twitter]815506291271626752[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=twitter]815505165247807488[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=twitter]815504897210798081[/MEDIA] That studio looks TINY. They probably didn't do the "windows" thing behind the desk because there's just not enough room to do it.
NewsMaster 226 Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Tried to watch their news at 6. Only one problem. They didn't post their live stream link!! The hockey game was still going on at 6, that's probably why. I'm watching WBTS now and it keeps blacking out for a few seconds... every 10 seconds. All of the other stations are fine. There are a LOT of technical issues that need to be fixed IMO.

They should really take that "NBC Boston" bug off of the screen.

How are you getting the signal? And was this problem evident when they ran Countdown to NBC Boston and is it there constantly, when local or national? If it's national only it may make me thing the hub maybe having issues.
Dan 0 Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 So is 60.5 WBTS-LD a temporary station? So far the signal has been consistent just slightly disappointed that it is only 720p.
PAnderson1 27 Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Tried to watch their news at 6. Only one problem. They didn't post their live stream link!! Yeah, as NewsMaster said, the NHL went all the way up until 7pm, when SNF took over.
CircleSeven 1960 Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 From the Boston Globe tonight, here's one critic's take on 1st day of the switch.
ABC 7 Denver 1729 Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Here is their open at 10am this morning. Very well done for their first day. Nick and Melody are great anchors. And that music...that music... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCGPL0nFjBI This isn't Nick and Melody's first rodeo together. They were morning anchors together in Denver. They aren't the nicest people either.
nathannah 2505 Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 So is 60.5 WBTS-LD a temporary station? So far the signal has been consistent just slightly disappointed that it is only 720p. NRJ probably has the most 'it just works' transmission facilities possible, so they can't multiplex two HD signals rather easily unlike most major stations carrying 1080i CBS/NBC and something else in 720p. It's probably great broadcasting 9 public domain/catheter ad mill networks in 480i like WTBS-LD, but not for a network affiliate.
Rusty Muck 4405 Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 So is 60.5 WBTS-LD a temporary station? So far the signal has been consistent just slightly disappointed that it is only 720p. NRJ's eventual sale of WMFP to Comcast-NBC to become the "new" WNEU 60 will be the worst kept secret ever.
mre29 1563 Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Huh. I figured Pete Bouchard would be chief meteorologist, since that's what he was at WHDH.
ABC 7 Denver 1729 Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 The swan has sung for WHDH's NBC affiliation.... Welcome NBC Boston. This was their actual sign-on that aired on WBTS at 3am. [MEDIA=twitter]815469851619758080[/MEDIA] Terrible cut editing. You can hear a segment repeat.
TSSZNews 1052 Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Music sounds an awful lot like SAM...I wouldn't rule out 615 either.
