LoadStar 363 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Doesn't look like "someone forgot" - looks like either a programming glitch inserted video accidentally from another Internet Broadcasting Systems website -- or more likely, someone at KIRO elected to add that video to the site because it'd be of interest to local viewers. The picture correctly pertains to the story that is next to it, so it wasn't just someone uploading the wrong picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad they don't have a [sarcasm] or [tongue in cheek] button; apparently some people need something more direct - I was being facetious. Even though both stations are owned by Cox, it is still unusual to see another stations logo bug on a website. In this instance, it really doesn't "correctly pertain" to the story aside from possibly giving attribution to the original author/producer. A "pertinent" image would've been the In-n-Out Burger logo, a Heisman trophy, etc. But I really just thought it was an odd sight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you thought WTVT's promos appearing on WHBQ's MyFox site was ironic enough (but that mixup wasn't easy to prevent, they have simliar 13's) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure KIRO viewers would be surprised to see a WFTV promo on-air Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both stations have similar 5s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
