Satellite dishes on Jay Leno show

[Corrado]

Anyone a fan of Jay Leno? Last nights episode had a skit outside NBC with the big dishes outside behind the parking area in view. Presumably uplink dishes? They have another reoccurring "JMZ" skit with a trailer with what looks like a Fortec dish on the roof.

Let's just hope Comcast doesn't ruin it for us.

The fear is that Comcast will underinvest, and NBC will lose ever more of it's former glory.

No. Lets hope the first thing they do is put him in the same place his rating have gone!!!

You know time for a mercy flush.

Leno continues filming his show from NBC Burbank and they have various uplink and downlink dishes there for NBC network traffic. I don't know how active they currently are - I thought I read awhile back they fiber stuff to NYC for uplinking now (or vice versa) instead of uplinking some stuff from burbank like I believe they used to do for the Leno Tonight Show prefeed and the Pacific Time Zone feeds.

Very interesting lot to look at with Google Earth - the dishes and sound stages.
