Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: Yesterday's Great Moment In Local Broadcasting
I know a couple people who work/have worked at KXAN and one of them says that their theory is that the person responsible for turning off the master control automation in the event that the game ran long was probably more focused on getting the other control room for the local news immediately following the game ready to go, since the combination of sudden-death OT and the game running long meant that it would start with a moment's notice. That said, pre-scheduled commercials interrupting live broadcasts (particularly newscasts that run long due to severe weather or breaking news) seems to happen with some regularity on KXAN, so I wasn't terribly surprised when I saw the Facebook outrage start to pop up last night.

[TV orNotTV] Cable Customers Who Don’t Like Sports File Class Action Lawsuit
The lawsuit was filed in southern California and it relates to TWC paying $8 billion for Dodgers' games and $3 billion for Lakers' games. The thing is, it's not only TWC customers suing. TWC plans to sell their new sports channels to other providers so there are plaintiffs from Charter, DirecTV, and Verizon as well as their cable rates will go up. As the Consumerist notes, this lawsuit isn’t just second-guessing Time Warner’s decision to acquire the rights: it questions the entire cable television business model. http://consumerist.com/2013/06/20/time-warner-cable-customers-who-dont-like-sports-file-class-action-lawsuit/ -- -- TV or Not TV The Smartest (TV) People!

I did not know he worked at Rolling Stone (when was that?). I do know that he is married to Sheri Annis, who is associated with a particularly nasty brand of stealth conservative Republican politics in California. She worked on controversial (and successful propositions to eliminate or greatly curtail bilingual education and affirmative action in the state. She worked on Arnold's campaign, but that really makes her a Pete Wilson Republican (Pete Wilson is the former two-term Republican Governor here that is basically responsible for the near extinction of the Republican Party in this state). Of course a man's politics do not have to be the same as his wife's (my wife is pretty much a-political, which is the opposite of my political orientation), and it is not true that strong political convictions makes someone biased or unreliable as a journalist. But I don't see anything in Kurtz' background that would make him distasteful to Fox News (despite the potshots that folks like O'Reilly have taken at him over the years). Krutz's contract with CNN apparently expires at the end of June, which I guess explains why CNN, unlike the Daily Beast, decided to give Howie a more graceful exit after his series of mistakes capped by the Jason Collins incident. They could have fired his ass, but instead let him ride out the last few months of his contract, but I suspect, despite the disingenuous tone of Kurtz' statement confirming the change, that there has never been a snowballs's chance in hell of Howie continuing at CNN. -- -- TV or Not TV The Smartest (TV) People!

The fact that the first post among my friends was 10:31 PM Central Time and that KXAN doesn't have a break between the end of the news and the start of Leno would seem to disprove the theory that it was something that would have correctly aired if not for the game throwing the schedule off. However, what I kind of wonder is if what aired was supposed to be either the last break in the local news or an additional local break if the game ran past 10:30 CT, and it went in to the system as airing at precisely 10:30:00 rather than the first cue after 10:30:00. -- David J.

It's time for Joe Hass's Rhetorical Question Theater. Then their process flow is just cocked up. Why not wait until you have to program these breaks into the computer to program the last one? In fact, why program that at all and just cue it from the control room? This has been another episode of Joe Hass's Rhetorical Question Theater.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Remember Dan Abrams? Well, He's Back...
Back in the days of the OJ trial, Dan Abrams provided some of the most dispassionate and fact-filled recaps for CourtTV. If you wanted to know what was happening in the courtroom with a minimum of the sidebar gossip, he was good for that. I honestly don't think I've watched a single minute of his work post-verdict.
