WHOK and WNKK Commercial

R

ryan883

Has anyone seen the new commercial for the Hawk and Wink 107 in which the audio of the commercial sounds like it was done by a 12 year old? Gahanna High School's news on the public access channel has better audio... I guess these new owners are exactly as cheap as you all have warned us.
 
my wife and i were in different rooms when we both heard it last night. we stopped and wondered if something was wrong with our tv. it sounded like something produced in punxatawney in 1965.
 
I'm thinking this is a Time Warner issue. I have heard several spots, I think all on A&E that are way over modulated. One of them was a spot for Time Warner! I heard onf for Value City Furniture which is produced at SOS. They absolutely do not put crap work out there.
 
I've heard the worst over-modulated spots when I was stuck with Wide Open West cable. I noticed it on A&E for so many weeks that I called them about it. They blamed it on my TV. LOL

I just moved over the weekend and around 5pm, a tech from Time Warner cable stopped by and got me all hooked up. Not more than an hour later, the WHOK spot ran and it sounded like crap also.

So unless I have two TV's going bad coincedentally when their commercials run, I'm gonna blame it on WHOK's low quality, poorly produced commercial.
 
I used to have Time Warner cable service and did not notice any real problems with audio levels on their local cut-ins. After moving I ended up with WOW and the quality of their local cut-ins sucks. It is not the quality of your TV, the audio is severely compressed to the point of distortion and they are poorly timed with respect to the main program commercials they are meant to replace. In my opinion the FCC should outlaw local cut-ins and require cable companies to carry the network commercials.
 
I totally agree. WOW does suck. Not to branch off the topic, but another thing that pi**es me off is that the local channels (4, 6, 10) they carry have ghosting. I thought it was just the service at my house at first, but my parents, and others that I know who have WOW get the same ghosting effect, static audio, etc. on 4,6, & 10.

Getting back to the WHOK/WNKK commercial, judging from the quality of the video, I'd be ashamed to be still working there seeing what the NEW owners are doing. Image is everything.
 
UPDATE

Not that it matters much, but I moved last weekend (near the CC building) and I'm SO happy to have Time Warner again! I saw the WHOK/WNKK commercial last night and it was a lot better quality than I had seen previously. The only TV spots in radio running right now besides Sunny 95.
