KRON Has Been Off The Air Several Hours And Is Still Off The Air; UPDATED

 KRON has been OFF the air for a considerable time--like hours. Most of the day.

We assume this is due to the storm and have faith that your KRON4 news product will be back on later in the evening.

Right now, "The Program provider is currently experiencing technical difficulties" is the only thing you see on the KRON screen.

No TEAM COVERAGE here.


UPDATE: KRON managed to get back on the air a little after 4 PM PT.

  3. The other night also at 10:54 showing Criminal Intent. Froze on a frame. Checked back after the 11pm news was to have started and still stuck on that frozen frame. Assumed up until 11 that no one was minding the store, but once the news was to start showed a bigger bug in the system.

  4. Could it be all the massive silicone breasts in the building at KRON are wreaking havoc with the signal?

  5. So - speaking of "team coverage": ABC7 is loving it.....Spencer Christian (whom I generally like quite a bit) is - I'm sure - following instructions, but - he has just interrupted programming AGAIN, to open by saying "this is the same picture we've been seeing for the last few hours".....so, Spence, WHY ARE YOU INTERRUPTING PROGRAMMING TO SHOW IT AGAIN??? sigh

    1. The people on the air don't decide when to interrupt. Managers do, at the recommendation of consultants--geeks who don't even watch TV.

  6. So what is Kron now showing, a Test Pattern or maybe the side view of an Indian Chief?

  9. This morning they could air some remotes from Will Tran, but Dannon & Darya were only doing voiceovers via cellphone from a dark studio, with (according to Darya) a flashlight to see what they were doing.

  10. Martin was wrong again. He said it would move through quickly and be largely over by late afternoon. We are getting harder rain now in Piedmont/Oakland than we were at 10 am. Jacqueline Bennett said she thought the system would stall right over the Bay Area and the totals would be higher than the models were indicating. She was dead right. Martin was dead wrong. How does someone who sucks so bad keep his job?

    1. >> "How does someone who sucks so bad keep his job?"

      Those who know (Bob Fitz, Karel, Gil Gross, etal) won't share their secret.

  11. Uh...what happened to the backup generator KRON bought after getting knocked off the air after the 89 quake? NBC took it down to KNTV?

    1. KRON sold the generator on EBAY.

  12. Is KRON going to fire Bob Coleman again? (Little inside joke for those KRONvicts who were around 1999ish. Couldn't have happened to a nicer asshole, either.)
