WVCY 22-1 ghosting?

[GS kid]

I never watch 22-1. I have glanced at it and noticed ghosting of images. I expect that with an OTA analog broadcast, not a digital one. None of the other digital stations have this problem. Anybody else see this?

They are using rabbit ears and an analog tuner to recieve the channel 30 signal. It is then encoded and put into the transmitter. The Ghost is comming from the reception of the analog.

The lack of picture quality on most of TV30's programming is legendary. It's a combination of poor source (cheap cameras, cheap tape, cheap transfer equipment and cheap transmissions media) and the less than state of the art local broadcast equipment.

But for them, the medium is secondary to the message...so poor PQ, little or no production values, bad graphics, and small market presentation are overlooked by their audience.

They don't have much money to work with, so they do what they can with what they have to stay on the air.

Just an aside about 30's picture quality on 22D.

Channel 30's program material is sometimes VHS tape...very poor and the signals on the digital channel are actually received off the air from 30 analog via a receiver at the 22 site...mulitpath ect..cause all sorts of problems...I've given Andy a few pointers but apparently he's ignored the advice.

I'm sure Andy hasn't meant to ignore your pointers, but for the last couple months he's been in the hospital (still is, I think) recovering from a kidney transplant. Kinda hard to work on the tower from a hospital bed :-).
