Problems at WABC tonight

[IceManNYR 240]

The news cast started in and is still in standard definition, the vo which usually plays with the intro was missing.

When they went to the first local report there was no audio.

It seems whatever issue they are having is preventing them from doing live reports.

 

All the reports are being voiced by the anchors with b-roll and they just went to break early at 11:04pm.

 

They came back after a few seconds of a blank screen did 1 report and now they are going to break again at 11:07pm with weather next.

 

Liz Cho just mentioned that the audio board went out just as they were starting the newscast and has caused major problems.

The news bumper works though, thats about the only sound they have though. They had more breaks than news tonight, lol I'm sure whatever it is, they'll sort it out, WABC always recovers quickly from their errors. Seems that there are not broadcasting in HD at all tonight, because Nightline is also in SD.

The Oprah rebroadcast is HD.

The Rebroadcast of EWN was also not aired, they just went straight into World News Now.

All was back to normal today on Eyewitness News This Morning and at Noon, HD and all.

Maybe they were sharing production with Fox 5. lol

This has happened multiple times...I saw an entire newscast in SD a few weeks ago. Also, I've seen the greenscreen camera mess up like this on more than one occasion:

Whatever went on up there is drifting south as Action News here tonight has been a trainwreck.
