Where would you like them to put the banner? If the signal is disrupted, putting the banner on air doesn't help because no one will see it. They might have put one on their website IF the appropriate people that manage the website were notified and available to put it out there.

I'm glad you've worked at a television station and know what goes into putting a crawl on the screen. I guess you also know what equipment was affected to cause the outage, and therefore what was available to put the "scrolling banner" on the screen.

Yes, "it would have been nice" if they could let viewers know the problem is at the station. But their primary duty is fixing the problem.

At the radio station I work at ,we have had callers complain about us not announcing that we are off the air, when we have transmitter problems LOL

For the last two days my ABC channel has been pixelating badly and yesterday morning for quite awhile all I was getting was a yellow screen with no pic or sound! Is this a DISH problem or the actual network. Same thing happening on my OTA ABC channel. Signal strength is locked at 100 when I check it.

Diagnostics shows satellite 72 and 61.5 green check and signal strength for tuner (20) which it defaults to while on the channel at 100.

I've had that yellow screen before too. I just turn off the tv and hopper for a minute then it's usually back

Are you by chance referring to WCTI channel 12 in eastern N.C?

When I was a kid and the TV showed, "Technical Difficulties, Please Stand By" I would get up and stand next to the TV.

It didn't help.
