wabceyewitness 818 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Please tell me why WPIX's scroll at the bottom of the screen this morning gave the following forecast: "Mostly sunny and clear, High 35...." and also said "Alternate side parking rules in effect" when, first of all, it was snowing heavily, 19 degrees and alternate side parking rules had been canceled because of the storm.

wabceyewitness 818 Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 Also, what's up with WABC's Snow Closing ticker? During local news, the left and bottom are slightly cut off on the SD feed, but during GMA, it looks perfect...

civic110 18 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Yes...I never thought I'd say this, but I thought WCBS had the best coverage through the day. That ticker was so killing me on WABC; WNBC was nowhere to be found, although it was nice to for NY, NJ, CT to watc the Today Show from MIAMI BEACH! That was kind of a slap in the face.

knightofni 2 Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 re: WPIX I saw that too. It seems like their computers were on the fritz for a bit. Bad time for it to happen too. Seems like the software reverted to the previous day's settings. I've seen it happen a couple of times. I wouldn't worry unless you were the one who broke it.

civic110 18 Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Well they did have a different school closing system at the bottom in place of the ticker until about 8am, instead of the closings taking up most of the screen. So maybe they're trying new things out.
