Those CBS Newspath slates are just about history.

Just about everything is fed via Pathfire nowadays. Even Oprah, Jeopardy and the Simpsons goes out by Pathfire these days.

Instead of feeding VANDA, the satellites are transmitting the newspictures in data form, for reassembly in newsroom servers. Multiple stories go out as soon as they come in - no more waiting for the feed.

CNN reserves its feeds for live events only, except for a CNN Newsfeed for foreign clients.

Well, not everything. The day-and-date shows (Entertainment Tonight, The Insider, Inside Edition, Access Hollywood) will still be satellite-fed.

In one case it was the wrong NFL game

11/13/1983: WCAU-TV in Philadelphia had an NFL doubleheader, Eagles-Bears followed by Cowboys-Chargers. After the Eagles game ended CBS went to a station break. Channel 10 came out of the break to join . . . Packers-Vikings, which was late in the 4th quarter. :-[ Somebody must have called CBS Control pretty quick!

This involved a CBS O&O and happened when all shows went out over AT&T Long Lines. CBS quickly patched in the Cowboys game on the line to Philly.

Oprah is day and date, and is delivered on Pathfire to ABC O and Os.

Just about everyone will be on the pathfire system soon.

...and I recorded the video from KTLA/5 and KCBS/2 Los Angeles on the morning of the September 11th attacks. I remember KTLA airing at least two CNN feed slates and Peter Jennings' ABC network audio at the point of WTC2's collapse. There had to have been a lot of that going on elsewhere that day...

Perhaps the eeriest phenomenon that morning involved the satellite feed of WPIX-11 in NYC. At the moment the WTC tower containing their transmitter began to collapse the digital satellite feed did what it is supposed to do in case of signal loss -- display the last full frame received. That still frame, showing the top section of the tower just starting to collapse, with the "WB11" logo in the corner, continued to silently air on WPIX's feed (and hence, on cable and DBS services that carried that feed) pretty much all day long.

I remember on Fox's first Sunday broadcasting NFL football in 1994, they sent numerous markets to the wrong game at kickoff. Within a few seconds they corrected it (can't remember who Chicago got instead of the Bears), but it was an embarrassing start.

In December 2003, Fox accidentally stayed with bonus coverage of a Rams-Seahawks game to the entire country after the second doubleheader game (Packers-Chargers in most markets) had started. Even in Green Bay itself, they didn't see the Pack until halfway through the first quarter.
 
In September 1990 the NBC stations in the east coast and midwest instead of getting the To Tell The Truth revival debut with Gordon Elliott got the pilot epiosde with Richard Kline hosting.
 
absolutely nothing for a while!!
i have never posted in a while.

well the holiday season is coming up, and i bet stations are screwing up showing Countdown leaders, slates, affiliate advisories and anything else this thanksgiving.

nothing wrong here so far.

anything closed-circuit happen to your station today? (or anyother day you recall?)
 
I'm now hearing the "CBS Radio Networks Channel 42" and tone about 9:20 this morning. I heard it on 1510 KGA in Spokane. Techincal Problems with the satellite?

The problem is not aloft, but down on Earth. The satellite is doing what it is supposed to do during downtime: run a marker or interval/tuning signal. The problem is when a totally automated radio station misses switching the feed at some point, and there are no humans around to notice or fix the problem. AM-DXers hear this happening a lot, especially on the graveyard channels where there are a lot of very low-budget stations that run nothing but syndicated stuff off the birds.

I used to hear something similar on WTIG-AM 990 in Massillon, Ohio when they were affiliated with CBS..

Not a network faux pas, but there's always the infamous statement by former Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz. It falls more under the heading of "Never say anything you don't want the world to hear if there's a microphone anywhere near." Butz was out of a job in record time.

Wondered to this day if the 'ol arrogant,incorrigable and outspoken redneck Butz was the inspiration for the Gary Burbank character Earl Pitts? "WAKE UP UMERIKUH!"

Remember his comment about Pope Paul VI?
"...he no playa 'da game he no make-a da rules!"

(serves him right to lose his job as ag-czar!)
 
Also, I once saw an ABC test pattern on KOMO 4 Seattle, when during their news, they had commercials, and it was dead air for about 10 seconds, then the color bars showed up. This was this year, don't know the date.

Sometime in 1978, while watching some primetime program on WOAI-TV CH4 (NBC) a conversation between two people, not related to or part of the TV show, was heard in the background, for about 10 minutes. It was barely audible but very noticeable, even with the TV's volume turned up significantly. It could be heard during more clearly during the lulls in the TV show, when there was supposed to be total silence. The audio quality of the stray conversation was noticeably different and lower in quality than the TV show's audio. It sort of reminded me of a 'tinny' telephone converastion. Maybe it was two network techs talking to each other on the AT&T network feed line or a crossed wires at the only long distance phone company we had back then? I also remember, before the current era of satellite feeds, some strange electronic noises or "busy signals" could be heard running under a network show's audio once in a while. In this modern digital age, I haven't heard anything like that for a long, long time.

I recall one summer in 1977 when, while watching a CBS soap ("The Young and The Restless", I think) on WEYI (Saginaw), I could occasionally hear ringing tones repeatedly, under the program.
 
There was the CNN reporter who a few years back, went into the restroom, not aware that her mic was still "live." She was talking to a co-worker, and this was heard over a speech that President Bush was giving at the time. No obscenities or toilet flushing was heard, but she dissed her sister-in-law on national television! :eek: I'm sure that there were some tense moments around their holiday dinner table that year! :eek:
