Look towards the end of the photo set; they've even got pictures of the hallways looking into the main control room and into a "tech center".

BTW, Kyle, what exactly happens in this "tech center"?

OCMs & Personalities / Re: How do you think is going to replace Bob Stokes?

Yeah, pretty much. They've dealt with it without directly replacing Bob. Cheryl and Kim have both kind of filled Bob's shoes.

So they don't even have anyone in Master constantly monitoring the audio and video and saying, "hey, that's not right!"

Apparently not many people there are familiar with what's going on...

Yet another blooper came tonight during EEWC when Sharon forgot to come up to the projector wall for the Weekly Planner temps segment. Here's a clip:

But it's been out for a long time, I believe.

Wow, I still have two of those boxes sitting around here but not in use. Those are from 1998 or 1999, correct?

Programming / Re: ETF?

« on: August 07, 2008, 01:33:58 AM »

Okay, two things here.

1) Like a dummy, I just realized that I dated that ETF "20071104". It should be "20031104". D'oh!

2) During the final years of the ETF, it certainly didn't use the regular playlist. Oftentimes Dave would mention the name or the artist of the song and how it's so nice to hear it on TWC.

Something's also wrong with the way that EEWC is being played back tonight; the recording is kicking in a few seconds early with the start of every segment so that you can see the tail end of the satellite LFs that aired during the live broadcast. (as well as the top of the hour bumper that originally aired during the live show)

I read about it a long time ago; I'm actually considering ordering it on Amazon before I go off to college.

There's a Trammel outage going on? Everything's fine on the HD feed; I hope my buffer is working so I can see what's going on.

I have and old RCA DirecTV with the 2nd gen logo, but all of my new DirecTV boxes show the new logo, but with inverted colors (white box with blue letters)

BTW, we also had the same error with the Lf music on the HD LF, but we didn't get that popping noise; it was just dead silence until the emergency feed kicked in.
