CNN.com, MSNBC.com 9/11 replays now running
Steve Safran September 11th, 2006
I’m watching the CNN Pipeline free offering of the network’s 9/11 coverage and had no problem bringing it up. I’m having some buffering issues, but that may be because of my local network. Only one critique: the 16:9 aspect ratio of Pipeline stretches the 4:3 presentation disconcertingly. It’s still a compelling presentation. Also, MSNBC.com is streaming NBC’s live coverage, as it happened. As I sit in the newsroom where I was that day, it’s a flashback that has compressed the time between then and now into next to nothing. Share your thoughts in the comments below - what you remember, and maybe who you lost that day. I’ll start: I still miss you, Stu. Every day.

I subscribed but bailed because I couln’t stand everything looking fat due to the 4:3 to 16:9 stretch. That distortion is weird for a news organization.

Two non-tecchie questions:
I’m watching CNN’s Pipeline, and it’s not distorted (unless you guys are talking about something a lot more subtle than I can discern). Could it be because I’m watching on a widescreen laptop? That sounds backwards.
I’m puzzled by the occasional gaps in the Pipeline coverage; the explanation on the slide doesn’t make much sense to me. Did they keep running out of tape? Did they lose portions of the tape in the five years since? Did hunks of it deteriorate?

FoxNews.com streamed coverage as well, and still is, as of this posting.

The early gaps were due to commercials. When there were no commercials due to breaking news the few remaining gaps were caused by switching out tapes and were left in to maintain real time coverage.
