Technical Meltdown in Lexington

WTVQ, the also ran station in Lexington, has been having a very bad week.

The station has suffered a number of technical meltdowns that as one viewer said to FTVLive it made the newscasts unwatchable.

WTVQ News Director and wannabe Anchor, Miranda Combs said that a Spectrum server went down and the internet services went out for the entire building.

“That negatively impacted many operations in the newsroom and the station,” Combs told the local paper. She said it caused “a ripple effect” on the systems.

“We’ve been on the air, reading from scripts but you may have seen a lack of video,” Combs said. “I applaud our staff, they’ve been amazing. They really stepped up. It makes me tearful.”

What should make her tearful is the fact that the station does not have the redundancy of a backup system so this doesn’t happen.
