So without cable and wanting to check the weather , I remembered that KMVT 11 Twin Falls streams live their news. Hey so does KPVI 6 out of Pocatello, but I was looking for details on the maybe snow storm. Hey snow means tows. And tows for me, means cash in the stash.
So watched several boring stories on KMVT’s streamed news, and wouldn’t ya’ll know it? Right in the middle of the weather the stream stops. Typical KMVT .
I don’t know what the goof there was, as my computer, Internet connection all firing on all cylinders, but what I wanted most, kaput.
I don’t know if Chris Pruitt the manager of KMVT put that in without working out all the bugs, or if he was too busy buying up broadcast signals, three that ain’t for sale and one of those three is open for propagation for TV. Guess who owns that? Yeppers Confederate Star Media, and who is a partner in CSM? That’s right, The Knytes-of-Anarchy.
But getting back here, when it comes to media in general and its not just KMVT is our valley broadcast stupid or what? Hell we even try to find studio and engineering help, granted paying much more than KMVT does at just over$50.00 an hour starter pay, but still we even have trouble finding on air and all help both radio and on our satellite TV feed station.
What I will say though is this, at least KMVT stepped up to the plate and brought streaming live to the game here. KTVB, KSAW and the rest don’t stream, few in SLC stream live. Only story clips, so why not the others? Who knows, so thanks KMVT, for live streaming, just fix the damn thing so it’ll last through a whole newscast.
I’d apply for KMVT’s Studio Board job myself, except KMVT’s manager told me not to go there any more so, I ain’t, so I wont.
Sticking with the broadcast theme for tonight's blog entry here.
Noticed that the feds are opening a small filing window for a few new LPFM stations to file for CP’s and licenses. Also dig this, KCTF ch 45 Twin Falls, one of the only TV stations in the Twin Falls market, can still be watched on rabbit ears analog on older TV’s. More over they run a show called Wretched TV , which I like, sort of , its kind of a commentary hip preaching show with political and modern day pieces thrown in. So good is this show, KDXB/KTOW will be adding Wretched TV to our line up come just after the first of the year. Maybe we partner with KCTF on this humm?
Any way in closing saw when it comes to KMVT, they do try very hard. Much of their failure is that they hire anyone with even moderate skills, problem is they are not broadcast pros. That if they were , most likely would not remain at KMVT very long. Whatever the shake down, gotta give good old KMVT credit on a live stream broadcast for news, yep, At Least they try, but then so does a steer.
L8R Ya’ll, and God Bless Dixie.
