Ntropolis 593 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Was anyone watching World News around 6:31 eastern time, particularly on the HD/digital feed? I flipped over to it, and it was really weird, there was a widescreen thing of color bars, a jumping happy face or something, and I noticed small text that said something like "let's see you color code this" in very small text. There was also music playing, like epic adventure music. It all makes me think it might have been hijacked or something. Did anybody else see this and was this an ABC problem or a local (WVEC) problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeters 1804 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I wish I saw that. Mabye a disgruntled employee, mad about a color code? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjohnson 15 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 That's the ABC 720p test footage. If your station for some reason forgets to flip the switch, you get this. KDNL has missed it a few times, and treated viewers to upwards of 30 minutes of footage. It rotates over a period of 15 minutes, showing the trailer for Monster's Inc., NYC in the Summer (pre 9-11; the WTC is still present), and assorted test footage. It's neat to look at.

13NEWSPIRIT 0 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 That is the HD feed screen saver from ABC-NY....whenever not sending HD programming, that is fed. That was probably put up on accident instead of the SD feed since World News Now is not broadcast in HD....yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
