Programming and Graphics / Re: You can't spell "Weekend View" without "Vu".

Something I realised as this is the first time I've seen the graphics (not the STAR, the CG) I've noticed that they are keeping everything within' the safe zone so when the video gets down converted and the pan scan effect is enabled, and the video changes to a 4:3 all the graphics are still included:

Red line represents a 4:3 TV's view of this video:

If you will notice the B-roll in that video, its all stuff that has been used on TWC before.. They've been using HD cameras for at least 4 years now.

Edit: I'm going to try to get the rest of the b-roll used in that video.. It should be on the SAN... I could maybe do some screen shots then...

Maybe I can some more to get in touch with. I can't imagine why they would tell me they are checking the place out, yet not join.

These people have big lives, give them some time..

Okay, that was a weird start to EEWC...

Sharon: "...a few weeks ago when the first [audio started skipping] rou rou rou rou rou rou rou rou [audio stops skipping] round of..."

Sort of like what happened at my NBC afilliate

I love those kinds of bloopers though.

On both of these occasions there were problaly bad bits of data that got in to the encoding stream which would have caused that jump loop.

oh so only ottawa viewers can see the channel?

Over the air for free, yes. Until I get a transmitter that's 500 Watts

But once I get on air, I will stream it online too. This has given me the motivation to get going

When will KSMI debut on ch. 59?

I hope it comes to toronto. i like to see it on rogers cable.

Toronto is 452 kilometers / 280.859779 miles away from the transmitter... Right now, I can only broadcast up to 100 miles away...

There is a like secondary copyright act though, technically the content is property of TWCi but the video was captured by you and posted by you... You can ask that it be removed, its not a sure thing though.

If we are playing this card, Billy can't put his tag in it ither... but since he did, he can ask that it be removed, again not a sure thing.

KSMI has been licenced channel 59 analog in Ontario.
Sweet! Does the analog signal issue involve Canada too?

Thanks guys! Also from what I've heard it won't affect us any time soon; but might in the future!

I've now got to buy a transmitter... that's going to be a pretty penny, but it would be worth it... Also, because I'm an independant station they are going to make me show the station ID every 10 minutes, thats insane but I think I can work it in somehow.

As well a stream of WeatherSTAR Recordings:

They're not his, though. I know one of those clips are from Billy.

Yeah....

Who created that stream? I'd like to talk to them. I'm flattered that they're using my videos, but they really should've asked for my permission first.
