This was brought to my attention by an Admin on Webchat.org...

It appears that someone has either taken control of Cartoon Network's west coast feed or someone within their control room is about to fired. We know it is definetely affecting Adelphia on the West Coast although they claim it's nation-wide.

Who else is getting this? Anyone? Also, what is your location and what provider?

Oh I should probably include the screenshot... This has been up for more than an hour!

Just got an update;

"A call was placed to the TimeWarner/CNN Master Control in Atlanta - they had one call about it, and they say that their control room people aren't seeing it...that would lead to the Satellite"

This could get nasty...

not seeing anything wrong with cartoon network which I love by the way awesome network. Hate a lot of the shows but it certainly has it gems. Gotta love adult swim.

What's your location and who is your television provider?

southern california cox communications

Adelphia in Chino Hills, CA is not receivin it. its just normal.

Normal programming here. I'm in NY with DirecTv

If you don't mind me asking, what are those dudes saying? What's so bad about it?

Well darn, I was getting all excited too. Must be localized to one provider then, unless someone else is seeing this too?

That or the adult swim crew is having some fun. They get bored over on williams Street

Well, I just submitted an article to /. on this - we'll see if RobM is in a good mood tonight.

I called TimeWarner/CNN's Master Control Room, and they said that only one other person had called to complain about it, and that their engineers are seeing nothing out of the ordinary.

To have that feed localized to only one other cable system (that we know of) is highly unusual. Adelphia is aware of the problem, and they indicated that it is on their *incoming* feed for CartoonNetwork.

It's now 9:22PM PST, and this has been going since around 7:30PM PST.

"Strange Days Indeed"

Called Adelphia support, and the guy said theyve gotten some calls and have no idea control/idea whats going on, but he ushered me to call:
1-404-827-1717 <Cartoon Netwokr Operator or something.
I called, asked what was going on and she said Atlanta is not receiving this problem nor are the people in the control room, therefore the problem is between wherever they feed off to and us.

I think we're getting some weird crap too over here (redmond washington)

What kinds of stuff are you seeing there, LanceCoder?

--scottkin

I just checked it here and it looked like normal programming (Redmond, WA on Comcast Digital cable). Who knows what's going on...

That's a picture of a punk rock band, i can't quite remember their name right now. But I'm 100% it's a pretty well known rock band.

have no idea why its showing them though :)

hmm I only checked for a second and saw a pic in 16:9 format just like what that picture shows.. turns out its just normal cartoons here :\

Fine for me. Comcast in Nothern CA.

New Found Glory

Good Band. Wonder why they are showing.

Hehe, you guys are not too far away.

Comcast here, Seattle, WA. No problem?

Heh, normal programming for me too and what's weird about this is I barely watch Cartoon Network but for some reason started watching it a couple hours ago before this thread came up. ;)

Comcast Digital Cable in Brighton, CO

My feed is fine. San Antonio, TX through TWC.

it's fine in canada west (bc)

Hehehe,This is all a big stunt to BOOST cartoon networks viewing (Everyone here tuned in,hehehehe)

New Found Glory is hardly a punk band.

Agreed. Anyways, I'm in atlanta, no problems.

I love Cartoon network. Watch adult swim every night.

Well, there wouldn't be now as this was all going on last night.

Informercials here... Cartoon Network shares a channel with ads.

Never said they were.

She is referring to what Hooba said Hiya..

I'm sorry, not too familiar with "New Found Glory"
Maybe I remembered wrong, but check out google search page :)

I can still be wrong :)

They are a punk band heh. ;)

They aren't punk. They may say they are punk, but they aren't. They're more popish.

I don't listen to their music but have heard bout one of their songs so I cant really judge them ;)

Anyways lets get back to topic instead of turning this thread into a NFG thread.

NFG is labled as "emo-ish pop punk" in my mind. They don't really fit one mold, except for the "singer with a nasal voice" one :D.

You haven't. They aren't the SLIGHTEST BIT emo! Poprock is more like it.

The nasal voice makes me think emo.... I can't help it :D I've heard way too much emo, can't stand most of it (Finch is okay though, and some "screamo" bands like Thursday are really good).

Okay, some Thursday is screamo, but you've completely missed the genre by listening to mainstream.

Emo:
Bright Eyes - A Perfect Sonnet
Mineral - Slower
Death Cab For Cutie - Photobooth

Screamo:
Poison the Well - Slice Paper Wrists

Listen to these four songs and then restate your opinion. :)

Maybe a mod could change this thread and call it The New Found Glory Thread...

Please do note the sarcasm.

Well, it's starting all over again, but this time it's sporatic, and this time it's the image of a 5 or 6-year-old boy playing in his bedroom with a red-and-yellow action-figure.

A new call placed with Adelphia confirms this is the same scenario all over again, and their technicians are aware of it.

I wasn't able to get a screenshot, but I will when this happens again.

This is just getting to be a little too freaky...
