If you were watching Channel 5 this morning at 7:25 (when The Today Show cut to the local news break), you saw the wheels of KXAS news go flying completely off. I can't do it justice, but I did manage to TIVO it. I'll try to get it posted this evening.
Edit: Ok, I may have oversold this, but here it is. Note:
(1) I cut off the first 32 seconds of absolute complete dead air as KXAS scrambled to get on the air
(2) The very odd camera pan left, pan right beginning movement
(3) How they had the wrong graphic up as Tammy Dombeck took over
(4) The very shocked look of the anchor at the end as she is filmed removing her headset
(5) The dead air after the spot before the commercial begins.

Awww, c'mon Barry. You can't set that up without a link. What happened, did Tammy Dombeck have a wardrobe malfunction? (Please God, I don't ask for much...)
I was napping Sunday afternoon about the time Ch. 5's news came on, they had some horrible sound problem, and I woke with a start, thinking my husband had run over himself with the tractor/mower - it was horrendous. I've quit watching their terrible news programs - Channel 4 for me from now on.
The worst local news channel. But Deborah Ferguson is by far one of their best personalities.
Yep, you are right, you did oversell. lol
That's ok tho, when you get a life, you will find other things to report. lol
KXAS is definitely the 3rd tier station now. Tracy Rowlett has put KTVT into contention for the lead.
I was hoping I still had the email saved to/from KXAS a couple years ago when they had a particularly wheels-off newscast on Saturday night. Poor Kevin Cokely was hung out to dry by the producer. NOTHING went right. Wrong graphic, bad sound, odd camera switches and graphics. But kuddos to Cokely, he was cool as a cucumber thru the whole newscast. Not once did he use the "experiencing technical difficulties" parachute, altho he has plenty of opportunity to do so.
The reply to the email was along the lines of "we had a new intern, it was his first show, ..."
I knew I'd be denied a Tammy shot...
Who really gives a crap!
If only we could have a Tammy D wardrobe malfunction, but I think she has had a little work done. I feel somewhat cheated. She doesn't appear to have the "spillage" any longer.
why do you keep watching that sub-par tv station? I can't stand KXAS so my tv's stay on WFAA all the time.
Snyder in the evenings and Anne Curry in the mornings is enough to make me throw my dog at the tv screen.
Viva la Channel 8!
She's got some nice DSL's.
I never see this stuff - simply because I never watch channel 5 news. Simple.
This is a every week occurance out here in the "Big Country" of Abilene.
Sometimes we miss the whole cutaway and get to hear Al Roker blow his nose.
I've take the worst DFW station any day.
NBC5's cut-over to HD local news has been a freakin' disaster. Talk about a step-by-step of what not to do....
I've noticed MANY mistakes, which I think we can blame on the crew getting used to new HD gear, i.e., switchers, VTRs, frame syncs, etc.
But it is still embarrassing. Every other newscast from them feels like a college cable access station.
What the hell happened Susan Risden? She never met a crime story she didn't like, and we know Dallas has plenty of that to cover.
Post some videos of Tammy Dombeck please!
