Boy that Sinclair hack has really screwed up our Seattle KOMO news.

I always watch them with a jaundiced eye because of, well, Sinclair, but have watched two today. They are struggling mightily with displays that won’t load, unexpected ad break-ins and outs, people’s mics cutting in over the reporter, and one reporter was literally there with a whiteboard. They came on the second time sort of apologizing for the glitches but honestly they’ve been troopers.

It’s fascinating to see and I’m really curious as to what was done to cause these multiple problems.

Others having this locally?

Someone named Maury was interviewing a baby daddy and his girlfriend.

Like with a brief exposure to gamma radiation, I soon barfed.
