ISTR there’s at least one affiliate somewhere out west that airs Colbert half an hour off the normal schedule. Stations used to “tape and turn” (that is, start recording the show, then air the front half while the back half is still recording), but they might have set it up now where there’s a separate half-hour offset feed on which Colbert starts at :05 past the hour instead of :35. CBS Satellite Control in NYC controls all of the affiliate satellite receivers**, and it wouldn’t be the first time they had affiliates tuned to the wrong feed. My guess is that they had PacNet stations accidentally set up on this offset feed and happened to switch everyone back to the “correct” feed just as the show open was starting. (It’s also very possible that the live “Celebrity Big Bother” had something to do with it; they’ve got a lot of hoops to jump through when there’s a live show in prime.) **Based on my phone calls to them over the years, I believe they may also control a couple of the thickest New York accents in the world. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
