Wow CBS 4 Denver paused *again*

As I reported in my previous article about this (here), CBS channel 4 out of Denver once again this evening (early morning of 10/28/2008) displayed nothing but a still image on their channel. In this case, the still image was from the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson and it was the image below of Carl Bernstein of Woodward and Bernstein fame. Poor Carl!


The still image broadcast started at about 12:29 AM on 10/28/08, and was still being broadcast as of about 3 AM (at least two and a half hours). Yikes.

I had originally figured that the problem was likely at the cable provider, Bresnan (as opposed to the network or the local station). But now since the problem has occurred again and is on the same channel, I'm leaning toward a problem at the local Denver channel CBS 4 itself. But I'm again assuming some sort of software problem or someone hitting a pause button accidentally. In both cases, this began happening during a network feed, but both times another CBS channel was having no problems.

Strange!
