C Block 1566 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 KYW seems like an odd one for eclipse coverage seeing as Philadelphia isn't really anywhere close to the path of totality. Hoping for eyeballs as the bottom feeder station I guess? Looks like KATU is going to be live pretty much all morning long. KEZI is going to do a 10am special leading into the 11am news. They're also doing some sort of special this Thursday night. I don't see anyone else in Portland or Eugene with coverage filed on the EPG, but I also didn't want to dig into each station's website too much. I find it hard to believe KGW wouldn't put it on TV, but I'm sure they'll at least put something on their Facebook live stream, as they do with just about anything on any given day.

historyvids 0 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 C-SPAN currently has a simulcast of NASA TV's Coverage of the Eclipse on their schedule from 12pm-4pm on Monday.

Megatron81 263 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Wood TV sending Ellen to NE & Kyle Underwood to TN. Looks like clouds could be a factor in Michigan for the eclipse which was going to be 80% of the sun covered by the moon. Saw Total Eclipse in 94 that was awesome felt like night and the sun looked like it had sunglasses on.

rkolsen 1684 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 So I was looking at NBC's APT and apparently the contingencies list two special reports the first is from 1:12-1:30PM and the second is 2:00-2:58:30PM. Both are optional. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15840-2017-solar-eclipse-coverage/page/2/#findComment-181357 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eat News 4745 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Q:Where is all the 1979 eclipse video??? A: 1979 was the days of tubes for video cameras. The military had some CCD cameras but the TV broadcasters didn't. The problem was you could NEVER point those cameras into sun because you would fry thousands of dollars in tubes. Even studio lights were a problem...even reflections could cause "burn-in" and "comets". The cameras today all use CCD chips. Now any idiot can operate a $200-thousand dollar video camera without destroying it by accident...or eclipse.

[ATTACH=full]4345[/ATTACH] Actually technology blogs are recommending they use a neutral density filter. While it may be commonly understood that looking directly at the sun can damage human retinas, it may be less well-known that ENG cameras pointed at the eclipse could be damaged as well. “There is no black or white here,” says Steve Mahrer, senior technologist at Panasonic. Localized heating in the camera at the imager can create a problem. The polymer gel used to form the microlenses that concentrate light on the individual pixels of CCD and CMOS imagers in ENG cameras can be distorted by heat. “If you point the camera at the sun, there can be a lot of infrared light and heat land on those little microlenses, and they can either melt or deform,” he says. Mahrer advises news photographers to exercise caution when shooting the eclipse. Specifically, they should affix “pretty heavy” neutral-density filter, such as a 3 ND filter, to their camera lenses, use the camera’s internal ND filters and close the camera iris when setting up the shot, he says. “Then bring up the exposure till you get a normal image,” he says. “Don’t start the other way around and then start dialing in the ND filters. That could be dangerous.” (For another perspective, that of Alan Keil, VP of engineering at Ikegami, click here.) Via TVNewsCheck Also don't even try photographing it with your cell phone. Just put a pair of solar glasses over the lens.

susquvalleywgal 517 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I am recording coverage on ABC. I'm holding hope they use ABC2000 theme for this.
