2022 NFL Season

I'm curious if there's any way to fix the colors of the clock with a chroma key effect. I'm guessing it would be difficult/impossible with the selection of colors being displayed on that clock.

I forgot to take a picture, but in the 2nd half the clock background was changed to black with blue lettering.

I'm glad they were aware of it and got it fixed.

Okay, the ratings are in for the first regular season installment of Thursday Night Football on Prime Video, and...

 

Not bad, actually. In fact, I'd say "impressive." The Chargers-Chiefs game from last week averaged 11.8 million viewers on Prime Video, according to Neilsen. When factoring in local over-the-air simulcasts in Kansas City (KSHB) and Los Angeles (KTTV), overall, the game drew 13.3 million viewers.

 

Strong start.

Fox’s lead NFL producer has started a weekly blog that takes readers behind the scenes of the game that the network’s A-team calls every week.

Did NFL Network just stealth debut a new logo?

That logo has been floating recently but today is it big coming out party for the look.

The graphics in general look great, but the sound effects are incredibly distracting

That NFLN scoreboard is giving me strong "preseason" vibes (in fact it looks a lot like the Packers' one)

KHOU-TV in Criticized for Interrupting End of Bills-Lions Game - Sports Illustrated

 

I'm honestly not sure where this conversation should be talked about in, so, mods, feel free to move this post if necessary.

KHOU Channel 11 Houston cut off the last 25 seconds of today's Bills-Lions game in order to cover a tornado warning in the Houston area.

Our house was frustrated to the say the least, especially once it was evident that the storm was losing steam for a tornado to materialize. I don’t think KHOU, or any station when this happens, should get flack for doing their job of keeping people safe. Josh Allem has had a number of clutch plays in his career, fans missing the latest one won’t hurt.

Bad timing yes?  Was there another way of handling this (like the FOX station did) maybe?  But by FCC standards, practices and rules, they had to warn.  It amazes me how many viewers do not realize this.

The FCC does not require stations to relay weather alerts. They are only "required to provide the capability for the President to address the public during a national emergency." (https://www.fcc.gov/emergency-alert-system)

 

You can make the argument that relaying alerts from the National Weather Service is in the public interest, but it is not required.

[nathannah 2429]

Accessibility guidelines for those with visual or hearing impairments from the FCC themselves literally spell out what is required for a weather emergency. It can be an ADA violation not to do so because you're putting those without the ability to hear a NOAA radio warning or siren warning in danger, and in a professional manner, can get your AMS/NWA seal revoked.

 

Also if you REALLY need to watch or hear the game uninterrupted, Paramount+ has an NFL-only stream and Westwood One radio and the local radio calls are accessible in many ways. That, and the end of the game was immediately recapped after the game. Public safety>>>>>>degenerate gamblers.

 

Hopefully (and with how many times it's been promised since digital television started, it just needs to happen), ATSC 3.0 actually takes the 'zip code-based cut-in' carve-out seriously and will end these situations once and for all.

Plus, the game itself featured 2 out of market teams. Even though it was a national broadcast, it’s not like KHOU interrupted the Texans for their weather advisory. Not that it would’ve made a difference, of course; public safety always takes priority.

What would the "Zip-code based cut-in" do?

Limit the area where the cut-in is inserted to the actual warned area; it wouldn't need to be vaguely a zip code any longer and could be by certain coordinates.

 

I do like another idea though myself; the WSI weather apps have a feature where a warned area can be drawn out on a map by the met and a video or text warning only goes to users affected by the warning in that specific shape (of course, if they allow the app GPS access). Only a few stations really take advantage of it, though. That honestly seems where things will end up going as we go into this transition.

That works for KAKE-Land Weather Plex ... not necessarily for Houston.

As long as it's a-la-carte and doesn't jack up my rates.  I'm good with that.

But any skilled YTTV-er knows how to watch their teams anyway.

Nickelodeon has updated the graphics they use for their simulcast games to be closer to the current CBS package (if they weren't pretty much an early teaser of them); also definitely ripped a page from Fox with the "cartoon" player portraits
