What the hell is going on in Needham? The picture is several seconds behind the audio.

Patriots game on WCVB

I loved the rerun of last night's "Chronicle" for the first 5+ minutes of the pre-game show, too.
Time for me to vent here...
Aside from the horrible commentating by Criqui and Cross, the following was wrong with the last two broadcasts:
1. Audio/visual synch (even commercials!)
2. Score and time graphics were cropped off to the right for much of the first quarter, then disappeared all together. Took them a while to even tell us down and distance, let alone time on the clock.
3 The camera work was shoddy Part I: panning around the stadium at warp speed to catch a play after a crowd shot.
4. Camera work was shoddy Part II: following the ball in the air and not the play on the field.
5. Camera work was shoddy Part III: The camera would stop panning about five yards short of where the play was and then pan like mad to get to the play, missing it of course.
6. Missing plays because of cut away shots of the crowd,late coming back from commercials.
7. The split screen work with the Jim Cook interview in one frame and the game, seemingly played by midget-esque blurs, in the other.
I'm sure there is more but between the horrible production of this broadcast and the horrible showing of Eric Gagme in the 9th inning at Fenway, I'm at my wits end.

Who does the actual production for the games? Is it 'CVB or Kraft Media?
jlehmann said:I've also noticed for both this game, and last week's, that the picture was much more clear on WNAC-64 than WCVB-5. This was watching on a regular TV. I wonder if the HD feed was just as bad (foggy?)
I watched the replay of the game on NFL Net HD last night. It was crystal clear.

Kraft Sports Productions is doing it. There were serious problems the first airing of the game due to a power failure in the truck 5 minutes before air time. The satellite encoding equipment was acting up, causing the lip synch issues and the picture strobing. Not to mention the HD issues on their end as well. It did clear about about 30 minutes or so into the first game, and the 2nd game went a lot smoother.

I find that hard to believe. The first game was against TB and the second vs Tennesee. The game vs the Titans seemed a lot worse to me than the first one. The audio-synch problems seemed to last longer in the first game and the second game had issues with the graphics that the first game did not seem to have.
I did just buy a HD set and am looking forward to Thursday's game to see if they have remedied all of the issues that they had in their last two airings. Watching game three with the CBS national broadcast was so refreshing.
It is disappointing that we have to suffer through this quality of programming when the team is so good and the other programs put together by Kraft are all of high quality.
Thursday night's game against the Giants had absolutely terrible video on WCVB, but the feed from WMUR, channel 9 in Manchester, NH was great. It seemed odd to me that WCVB was producing the game and yet its feed was almost unwatchable while its sister station in NH had an almost flawless broadcast.

WCVB wasn't producing the game. It was Kraft Sports productions. WCVB was just the flagship affiliate, that's all.
