Oops WXMI FOX17 Taking FOX2 Feed Out Of Detroit

Unread post by DefendTheDen »

As I saw Extra when it should be Access Hollywood. I wonder if Scripps had a feed issue or something looks like it is fixed as of now as Access Hollywood is now on. I know no one cares LMAO :lol.

Fox 2 Detroit (WJBK) is owned by Fox. In the Detroit market, Scripps owns WXYZ (ABC 7). I do know that WXMI takes a feed form WJBK during Lions pre-game activities as the Fox2 logo is visible. Guessing someone routed the wrong signal through master control.

Must have been a day for errors by local stations. This morning during News 8 Daybreak, Theresa Weekly was live from Rosa Parks Circle and had the mic flag on upside down for several live shots (the top and bottom circles of the 8 are different sizes so it was painfully obvious)

I don't think its a screw-up. WSYM (Scripps) in Lansing also carries the Lions pre-game show from WJBK and you do see the Fox 2 bug on the screen. Thinking that WJBK has no way of sending the feed without the bug. WSYM has been airing it this way for years.
