7′s sat center tweaked

Published by admin on 2/27/2006 in Local Media.

When in doubt fiddle with it. That’s what the powers that be are doing with the satelite center. Someone emailed to say they’ve gotten a bigger TV screen. Twice as big. They are so reading this blog

Also, the chroma key/green wall was moved and on it’s place they’re building what “looks like a standup area for talent”.

They probably are, in the renderings of the newsplex I saw there’s an area that will look like similar to what the WHDH has to the left of the anchor desk with a huge screen, probably projection and some round tables in the middle that look like mushrooms with flat tops.

On another note, live video on WSVN.com is back so feel free to go and use their bandwith.

If I don’t forget I might post some screenshots of the tweaked satellite center tonight.

That CBS4 video is like everywhere

Published by admin on 2/27/2006 in Local Media.

Yeah I’m talkin’ about that police investigation thing. If that cop who’s suing CBS4 thinks the judge will save his snarky ass from being seen acting like … ummm … asshole maybe? /no pun inteded, really/ he can just forget about it.

In the last few days I’ve come accross a lot of blogs linking to the story, Consumerist being the latest I came accross, proves you can tell CBS4 to shut up but that doesn’t work on the internets. There are quite a few other blogs linking to the video, too bad it’s not on YouTube or Bittorent yet

Guess it’s safe to say Mr. Cop is now world famous. Maybe he can join Comcast for that “ruin your reputation faster” ad for their high speed internet. See here if you haven’t seen the ad
