Yes I did watch it. I'm stunned that a major market newscast was scrapped because of tech problems. CORRECTED LINK: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTn0rSrQobc Ignore the other link I posted. It doesn't work.Shawn O'Domski said:Julius: did you click on the link and watch it? Probably not.
the meltdown is posted on this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WHDH-TV.Shawn O'Domski said:No Julius, we can't do that for you. You can help yourself in this instance. Try this: re-read this thread in it's entirety, and eventually you will find out what happened. I posted that information here after reading on several other blog/gossip websites. You should already know what happened, since you have posted in this thread after I posted information that I found.
Please re-read this thread Julius. It's not difficult. If you read the information here, then you are all set. People here refuse to cater to your demands. Do the research yourself for a change.

It is newsworthy and it should be mentioned at that site.August 16, 2006: Newscast Meltdown
On August 16, 2006, there were serious technical problems during WHDH's 11PM newscast. A computerized control room switch, which literally control the station's news feeds, cameras, teleprompters and other related infrastructure, failed, forcing the newscast's anchors and producers to ad-lib. At the start of the newscast, which was without an opening, anchor Randy Price apologized for the technical problems, but will still present the news. After co-anchor Christa Delcamp struggled with a report on the arrest in the JonBenét Ramsey case , they went to a commercial break. When the program returned, they attempted to jump to a filed report from Dan Hausle about the arrest in the JonBenét Ramsey case, but instead got a still picture with no sound for 30 to 45 seconds, before the video started, minus Hausle's narration. After that failed, they went to commercial again. After the break ended, about seven minutes into the newscast, Price announced that the remainder of the newscast has been canceled due to persistent technical problems; Delcamp then announced that WHDH would join MSNBC for the remainder of the newscast.
I have asked the posters on this board that the story of this newscast be posted on that site, since no one was willing to do it, I had to. It was deleted but someone put it back up.Shawn O'Domski said:It was already here. You came on THIS board and asked for information. I provided the information you asked for. End of story. There is no need to spam every message board you can find to ask the same questions over and over. You have been warned about this several times over the years by the current and former management of this site.
