More problems for Seven’s playout as The Chase lost its audio feed.
Host Andrew O’Keefe has been left silent as the show us running without any sound on Seven HD.
A crawl on the bottom of the screen advises, “We apologise that the program has no sound on this channel. Please tune to Seven channel 71 to receive audio of this program.”
It isn’t clear how many markets are affected.
Since Seven closed their Broadcast centre in Melbourne there have been ongoing issues with playouts.
Audio resumed just in time for the 6pm news bulletin….
A Seven spokesperson advised, “Tonight’s HD broadcast of The Chase experienced a technical issue which impacted its audio. On screen graphics advised viewers to change to the SD broadcast, which was unaffected.”
Channel 7 has had no sound for minutes. Nice @Channel7 #TheChaseAus

Yep, the ads blare, the show is dead silent. You'd think they might have noticed almost halfway in, but apparently not. 😀

Is it being broadcast without sound? If so, that would have been an improvement on my episode, especially in the final chase…

Is no one working at channel 7 actually watching their own station? Shows even they know its rubbish @Channel7 #TheChaseAus

@Channel7 you guys getting hassled about the audio free episode of @THECHASEAUS that’s playing right now? Innovative and different but not really what we’re after!

Hobart’s Southern Cross didn’t have sound either. We had to tune to 61 to get it.
That was the ep that was aired in the east – at least in NSW.
“Host Andrew O’Keefe has been left silent”. Dreams do come true 😉
We’ll find out if the CC carried it through when we watch the episode in a few days.
No point waiting for it on Netflix, eh Mr K?
I saw the message whilst watching on 7. The sound on 7 Digital was on.
anyone else noticed – every night as the 7 news opener is rolling there is a jump frame about 5 seconds in? Been happening since they moved out of the Broadcast Center.
Happens in Sydney at least – every night.
Yes, also in Sydney here, and every night near the top of the bulletin it skips. Very odd.
The worst thing when this happens is getting a terrible fright because you turn the volume up trying to get sound and the sound comes back on again unexpectedly.
Prime HD was all OK.
This will be a good for Blooper for 2020, hey David!
It affected the broadcast in Sydney
