Or is MSNBC having a lot of glitches?

There have been times when the tv goes black during an interview ,the person interviewed loses connection, there are problems with the feed etc. Been happining for over a month seems these incidents are becoming more frequent.
I wonder whats going on over there?

2. I have been telling my husband for 3 years, MSNBC has a cable juggler on staff.

Honestly, it happens Every night. Especially on Rachel’s show.

3. I wonder if the cable juggular

Is a repuke.Or a closet repuke.

4. Rachel's show was broadcast from her house last night.

She said it was because of technical glitches, and that they've always had broadcasting from her home as the backup plan. But I think it's pretty curious that if that's the plan, they haven't worked on a set and decent lighting and sound to be available from her home for when the need arises. The room she uses, which she called her studio, looks like a rarely used, sparsely furnished space, and doesn't present well on camera.

7. The sound was terrible

I watched it anyway, cursing Comcast all the while.

5. It happens to us, too, but we watch on Hulu, and every channel

does that. None of the other networks do.

8. I'm always having trouble with Hulu

Too bad cuz there are some good programs.

6. Many more appearances are remote now

By that I mean that many of the guests who used to come into the MSNBC studio and sit across the desk from the host, no longer do that because of Covid and social distancing. They're staying home, and using home video cameras and computer hookups to broadcast their interviews. It's easy to see because the scenery behind the guest speaker is something entirely different than the scenery behind Rachel or Lawrence or another host. Also I can tell that the audio is lower quality for the person who speaks remotely.

Any number of things can go wrong when someone who's not a "techie" tries to broadcast from their own home. It's a combination of non-studio equipment, lower technical expertise, and lower internet connection speed, and glitches seem to happen pretty regularly. The solution is to go back to making everyone show up at the MSNBC studio before their airtime, and I'm not sure if that's going to happen.
