For those watching "The Roosevelts" - issues with the feed CONFIRMED - see email from them below [View all]

Last night, for the first hour and a half, there was a problem that caused any comments from the various historians to be absent - so we got Peter Coyote doing the narration, a few voicings of the characters, but long stretches of just music - and they showed the historians talking - but they were just moving their lips! For the last 30 minutes the sound of the comments returned.

And tonight - we are getting the historian comments - but a bonus! What must be Ken Burns voice announcing the scene, "reading" the section headings - at one point we heard a voice saying "man with short hair". Just now a voice said "the crowd gathers". Just no -
" a train speeds across a trestle". Just bizarre!

We can't tell if it is a problem with the production or the local feed. So weird! Anyone else experiencing weird sound issues last night and tonight?

We haven't heard anything like that. How strange! CaliforniaPeggy Sep 2014 #1

That indicates it may be the local UNC TV feed - hopefully someone else from NC will chime in! NRaleighLiberal Sep 2014 #5

They are rerunning the whole series Sat and Sun. Cleita Sep 2014 #2

I sent an email to WUNC since now I suspect the issue is the feed NRaleighLiberal Sep 2014 #10

Sounds like it was "technical difficulties" at your station. greatauntoftriplets Sep 2014 #11

last night we lost a lot of the talk. Tonight we are getting more than we want! NRaleighLiberal Sep 2014 #13

It must be local. Does Art Pope sit on the board of UNCTV ? lol octoberlib Sep 2014 #12

Thanks - narrows it down further. They have an email from me! NRaleighLiberal Sep 2014 #14

Fine here on the Schenectady, NY, station. Is it WUNC? Rhiannon12866 Sep 2014 #19

Yup. Annoying as hell - but it cleared up about an hour in. Amazing production, though - NRaleighLiberal Sep 2014 #20

It's been fine here, though we often have cable problems Rhiannon12866 Sep 2014 #21

Wow! We've not really watched network TV in many years - the local news is simply an embarrassment NRaleighLiberal Sep 2014 #22

I used to watch network programming all the time since that was my job Rhiannon12866 Sep 2014 #23

What struck me about those scenes (other than the fact he was enjoying it so much) greatauntoftriplets Sep 2014 #27

Check your TV's SAP or multi-track stereo whatever it's called. alp227 Sep 2014 #24
