What on earth is going on at CTV London and CTV Kitchener?

Alright just like past posts about CTV Toronto's newscasts that are sometimes not perfect. On the other hand, CTV London and CTV Kitchener's newscasts has had some graphic card mishaps. During CTV London's 6PM newscast they messed up one of the graphic cards during Mike Le Couteur's reporting from Ottawa. They put a W at the end of the word "CTV News". During the intro and before the "Made Right Here" segments on CTV Kitchener's 6PM new. The graphic cards were "blank" yep CTV Kitchener is known to have technical graphic card mishaps since the control room was moved to Toronto. I can say that CTV London rarely has graphic card mishaps. But CTV Kitchener is the winner for this "Technical Mishap", the images speak for themselves.

Looks like someone put the newscast(s) into digital storage, airing them unchecked...

Maybe they are using an AI program to run the graphics now?

Re: What on earth is going on at CTV London and CTV Kitchener?

It looks like CTV Kitchener had another technical mishap on tonight's 11:30 newscast. During a story on proposed highrise apartments in Kitchener. The story played for a few seconds, then the screen blacked out and played a story from CTV Toronto about a police incident in Brampton. But then a few mintues later it returned with a promo about a long time business in Acton closing. So maybe they are using AI already to run the newscasts?

This is not AI. This is complete goddamn IDIOTS running the show. People who don't know what the hell they're doing, who did not fully learn their systems, equipment etc., who did not double- or triple-check their work before it went to air. I hope whoever was responsible for this unacceptable garbage gets fired on the spot. There is no valid reason or excuse for crap like this to happen. Bell and its staff should damn well know better than to allow these errors to repeatedly occur. These people are absolutely terrible and should not have been hired in the first place. Even I could do this job better than any of these morons at CTV, because they're lazy, inexperienced, incompetent idiots who won't take the time to properly learn or to properly generate a polished, professional product.

No wonder nobody trusts the MSM anymore... it's impossible to trust them now with all the screwups, among other things.
