Rough night at KCET

An LA Observed regular emails:

Hey Kevin,

It’s 8:35. For the past half hour, KCET is having a meltdown with Antiques Roadshow telecast (interspersed with pledge segments.) Screen just went black for 15 seconds. This after multiple tape screw–ups on the telecast. Keeps skipping back and forth, repeating sections, skipping others. Then they started to run an entirely different episode altogether. Then the screen went black.

Now they’re back to running a segment they already telecast about 10 minutes ago.

Weird!

Indeed.
