Never seen this happen before
« on: February 07, 2008, 09:06:13 PM »
At some point yesterday, a light on the big backdrop actually burned out. Now, the whole right side of the backdrop looks as it does when the main studio lights are off. It looks okay with the Day Planner backdrop, but it looks bad with the Your Weather Today backdrop but horrible with the Evening Edition backdrop. It's time to get the repair crew out there!

Victor, I'm talking about the big backdrop behind the desk used for EE, YWT, etc. One of the lights behind it that help illuminate it burned out, making the whole right side look dark just as it does when they turn most of the lights off during the lower-rated hours of the day.

Lights continued to burn out tonight as before Abrams & Bettes began, some lights behind the A&B desk burned out, making the background look horribly dark. They spent the first three segments of the show using only the stand up area off to the side and the key wall until they could get the crew in there to fix the lighting. They finally returned to the desk at :20 past.

It was both, IIRC. A water leak caused the power surge, or something like that.  ;)

Either that, or they noticed it, and it forced them to have to shut down the power to the building so they could repair it.
