Programs Cut Off Early
Friday, 19 December 2008
There have been complaints recently about programs, like Democracy Now being cut off at the end.
In some cases it is because they run longer in New York, in other cases it is because their clocks may not be syncronized with ours.  We regret when there are technical problems such as these, but given that the switch from satellite to pre-recorded programming is all automated, these kinds of problems will occur from time to time.

We talk with Democracy Now regularly and both sides try to work for the best presentation.   They attempt to wrap their program at 58 minutes past the hour, which is when we switch to SCAN promotional materials (when corporate channels switch to commercials).

In the case of pre-recorded programs, it can mean that the producer of the program did not take steps to make certain that their program is precisely the length for the time slot available.   Our staff work hard to detect such anomalies but some shows can slip by our notice.

SCAN is a small non-profit organization that, in my opinion, bravely does wonders with very little.
The staff, producers, volunteers and board of directors are all doing their best from personal passion.

We all work hard to keep technical problems to a minimum, but we operate a very complex machine.
We appreciate your continued patience and long standing support.
