MSNBC loses ticker…temporarily…
There was a change made to the MSNBC crawl this morning. The time bug was moved from the right side by the Live bug down to the left corner on the crawl. Unfortunately that change may have contributed to a problem around 11am where the crawl would not refresh data. It’s been off the air ever since. I’m told that the problem is being worked on but the ticker and Master Control for MSNBC are still located in Secaucus (but will be moving to Englewood Cliffs soon).
In the meantime we can all relax, have a cup of coffee, and wax nostalgic about the good old days and what life was like on Cable News before 9/11 and the birth of the crawl.
I like the news crawl, im not a fan of the FNC transparent one though.

I can’t help myself; I’m seeing this all over lately, and it’s driving me mad. It’s “wax nostalgic,” not “wax nostalgically.” “Wax” in this usage is an intransitive verb, synonymous with “become.”

Ok. Consider me chastised. I shall wax nostalgic in the future…

ya know..im certain it would never happen, but why not just get rid of the crawl all together?
i think that would make a statement.
