Yesterday's Temptation double run in Charlottesville, VA on station WVAW was quite strange. There was no audio from the studio - that is, no Rossi, no contestants, but all the music cues, including buzzer cues and sound effects were present. I suppose that means some music can be extracted cleanly from the episode; I recorded it. As a reference, Yusef was in the champ's spot. Was it just on this station, or did anyone else notice?

Ahh..that's the reason for the good ratings in Hartford.

Sounds like the station recorded the feed with only one audio track active and all voices were on one track--was the sweetening heard?

Sounds like the best episode EVAR.

Did this track include a big smooch whenever Rossi was bestowing lots of love?

The sweetening was heard, yes. What I had not known beforehand was that the exact same clap track was played after everything clap-worthy, the same laugh track, except for the final applause at the end of the main game. Rossi's voice, the contestants' voices, and Yolanda's voice were not heard at all, even during the plugs for the at-home shopping.

Would it be wrong to take that episode, and dub in the audio of a Jim Perry ep., and just pretend the show was tolerable?

Obviously, someone forgot to get signed waivers from everyone that day.

This might be wishful thinking on my part, but it sounds like the doctor's pulled the patient of life support, as it were, and is waiting for nature to take its course.

My bet is one of two things happened, and I think it's the former:

The uplink (I want to say it would be Twentieth's analog) misfed it, and the station didn't catch a refeed or Twentieth didn't offer a refeed.

The station didn't have their audio frequencies set correctly (we're so used to 5.8L/6.2R and Twentieth is notorious for going 6.2L/6.8R) and got only one channel of audio that way. But my curiosity is why send split tracks and not mixed? You're usually only going to send split tracks for a promo or commercial... not a show.

I'd be very curious to hear this. Some '88 WOF episodes aired on GSN WITHOUT the sweetening, and it was strange to say the least.

I have it on VHS, but no good way to convert so that it can be uploaded. Any suggestions? It will be about a month before I have access to my University's digital media lab, at which point I will dig up this post.
