Sounds like NBC gave their West Coast stations the wrong time for the start of that commercial break -- I assume KNBC and KNTV, both owned by NBC, are using the same kind of automation procedures to drop the local commercials into late-night programming. (Or they might even be running out of the same master control room -- I believe KNBC and KNSD in San Diego share master control facilities, but I'm not sure exactly how much NBC has consolidated things.) -- Jim Ellwanger <[email protected]> <http://www.ellwanger.tv> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ TV or Not TV ....
