Side effects of the lockout
It has not been a good start for the CBC today. We're only four hours into the playoffs, but here has what's gone wrong...
1) The bug didn't work at the start of the Detroit/Edmonton game
2) A problem with the satellite feed cost viewers a chance to see the Wings first goal, although we did hear Mark Lee's call.
Note: At this point I left for two hours to cover a snowmobile club meeting for the paper.
3) During the middle of the Oilers/Wings first OT the feed suddenly cut to the Flames/Ducks game. Personally this screw-up made me happy but I'm sure Oiler Fan was upset
4) After McLean sends the show to commercial the screen goes to black but we can still hear Hrudy planning out his next segment.
5) The screen freezes up before the Ford Up to the Minute segment, followed by a commercial with no audio.
Let's hope the iron out the kinks before the games start getting more serious.
UPDATE 10:09 p.m.
6) The out of town scoreboard didn't fit on my TV screen.

Even the non-hockey fan sitting on the couch, trying to show interest wondered what the heck they were trying to show in the upper lefthand corner of the picture (i.e. the out of town scoreboard).
But you are oh, so right about the CBC and its dead air spots.
