US Television

Also watching it live now and can vouch for that.

Seriously, there is some audio routing issue going on right now. I don’t know how extensive it is, but going by how quiet X is, it must be pretty meh.

Admittedly, I also did not tune in at kick-off so cannot confirm when the sound lost. I only waited five minutes just to be sure before first posting.

Actually.., I’m wondering if this is now a TVPass error, as Tucson (which comes to me privately) is now working fine, but NY and LA, which come from them, are still out.

The NBC Sports Soccer account just posted the two Arsenal goals.

They have calls intact and the NBC logo bug intact as well.

It’s likely only impacting several feeds, but it isn’t a good look that some of them are major-market ones.

Extremely questionable is the tamest way to put it.

Edit: We’re on the same page then, so I think that is the source.

I now think it may be the person who’s running that site has turned on SAP by mistake, as another site which has WNBC is working fine with full sound.

Probably so, although this is the first time I’ve heard that this is the SAP experience when not carrying Spanish audio.

Oh well, it was a nothingburger. Whatever. We can carry on. Thought this was the start of something but it fizzled out.

Still pretty amusing that for about two minutes the owner grew some common sense and immediately U-turned by a finger snap.
