Standing room only?

My wife, baby, and I are going to the baseball game this evening. Standing room only concourse was the best we could find to purchase. In your experience do y’all think we will have somewhere to sit or do you think we will be standing the whole game?

Forgot the hashtag
Yes Fox is 720P, however WGMB is bypassing the Fox splicer and bringing the feed into a AJA FS1 and converting it to 1080i as everything is converted to 1080i before it goes through all of their other equipment. It then goes to a MPEG4 encoder with Variable Bit Rate, however each of the sub-channels are only allow a certain bit-rate.

I believe that the Fox signal is converted back to 720P somewhere along the line, but I don't remember at this time.
I'm surprised this is still happening. The feed to Alexandria was just upgraded about 2 years ago. It now only has one microwave hop. That was the main issue in the past. Dilbert, the feed to Alexandria does come from WGMB's master control though, and they don't care much about WNTZ since it isn't their main station.

The issue with WGMB is possibly that the feed from FOX comes in at 720P is then converted to 1080i before being rebroadcast, however, I haven't been working in broadcast for over a year, so their might be something else that I am missing.

I worked for KADN FOX 15 in Lafayette, but we were all owned by Nexstar at the time. Does that station look bad to y'all as well?
In a interview yesterday, with Ben Love from the Lafayette sports station 103.7, Justin Vincent stated that Key had a 45% chance of coming back, and Guice had a 65% chance of coming back. Look at the interview around the 10 minute mark, that is when he starts to answer the question.

Just passing this on. I do not know if he has any inside information. I just know that he is now affiliated with TAF and the program.

Justin Vincent's Opinon on the return of Key and Guice


Edit: Personally I don't think there is a chance for either and I think it would be in there best interest to leave.

Are you watching over the air? or cable?

If you aren't watching over the air with an antenna, then it could very well be your provider(cox, directTV, dish) that is compressing the signal.
I haven't really kept up with Nicks, but he is only 28. Did he have an injury or something?
Well some guys I know are running High home and High first, so that is good to hear. Just wish I could watch it.
Maybe he is taking estrogen or something.
CST needs to go away. They must have a horrible marketing team. I mean, they have huge sporting events like this, but nobody can view it. The pelicans switching to FOX helped them in viewership a ton.
Please forgive me if this is a stupid question, but why do we want Lyle? He is not ranked on ESPN. Is he just been hidden, and they don't know about him?

Wasn't in any real pain though.

I wonder what the Kentucky fans who attended thought about our event.


I wonder if that is why he didn't have them play defense, since anyone could get in. He didn't want to give a early scouting report to anyone.

What is not to understand? Just based off of previous experiences with people. Not sure it matters, but I just thought it was interesting.

Who is the guy to Blakeney's left? It seems that Blakeney might be more comfortable with him, as blakeney has him arm around him and not Coach Jones. There is also the possibility that he just didn't have time before the picture was taken.
