    Taxi?

    Am I crazy, or did the second half of the Revs game just get pre-empted by Taxi?

    Your're not crazy. Right at half time, right when they were supposed to do a interview with Joe.

    On our digital cable, the games has been blacked out since the beginning. I had to find a tv and a antenna, just to get the first half.

    Its bad enough that the Revs are playing great this season, but then you can't even watch the game.

    Can anything else go wrong???

    What is going on?!?!?!?!? Anyone have a number that I can call? Is there anything we can do? I am outraged!

    This had been an entertaining game. I am not happy.

    They lost the signal and are trying to get it back.

    Call (617) 265-5656

    and push #3 and you get the newsroom.

    Bunch of ************ing amatuers.

    You have a problem, put the ************ing "technical difficulties" message up rather than doing a diservice to the viewership.

    ************ing figures.

    Nice job getting things organized Magpie so quickly Magpie. I had a feeling numerous threads would pop-up.

    any one want to give updates?
     
  21. They must have got a decent # of calls because all the news mailboxs were full so I punched in a random name and got a hold of some guy who knew exactly why I was calling. He said they lost the signal and it would be back on shortly.

    This isn't the first time wb56 f'd up. About a month ago they missed most of the first 1/2 of a match because they accidently threw an infomercial on instead.

    I just emailed them at wb56@tribune.com, feel free to do the same.

    speaking of broadcasts, I would really love to listen to the Revs game off of their web-site but what in the world do I click on to listen to it?!?!

    They haven't been doing the internet broadcasts this season. WEEI used to stream the games at the start of the season, but they stopped. I asked the Revs about the internet broadcasts and was told that they would start following the move into the new offices, they have been moved in since May though so who knows the reason now.

    If you look at the Rev's homepage, revolutionsoccer.net, it says, "Listen live on WRKO or on revolutionsoccer.net. So where is it at, since the game's already over?
