作者: Look4chrisng 時間: 2010-9-10 12:00 標題: Skytrian not running in rush hr and AM1470 traffic updates

If anyone knows someone works at 1470 new department.  Please let them know if Skytrain not running during rush hours is newsworthy and should be treated as so.

I was listening to traffic update this morning at around 8:30.  The news about Skytrain not running since 7:30 that morning should be the front news.  They should advice ppl not to use Skytrain if they can drive.

I think the traffic updates lady spent no more 5 sec in the "middle" of the updates as if nobody cares.  But in fact thousands of people will be late for work for more than an hour.

Does everyone left their common sense at home once they work for Fairchild?

While I am at it.  Local Chinese newspapers really needs to improve.  I saw in the Health sections, there was a column suggesting eating dog is good for certain illness (Copy directly form Mainland newspapers?). Also why the font size on Sat Mag. is so small lately?  I don't remember seeing one mag with a dif font size throughout the mag.

End of rent.

The traffic report lady this morning was terrible. It was very difficult for me to catch all the road conditions..

On my morning commute, new1130 was repeatedly mentioning the Skytrain hiccup and how traffic was severely affected wor?

Mind you, I wasn't paying full attention to the radio, but I know they kept telling listeners about both the Skytrain and how Translink was busy scrambling to put buses to divert passengers, which in turn lead to more traffic backup...

Service on Vancouver's Expo Line SkyTrain is back up and running after the service ground to a halt on Friday morning when TransLink lost communication with several trains in a downtown section of the line.

According to TransLink full service was fully restored just before noon. The problems, which were first reported just after 7:15 a.m. PT, initially shut down the entire Expo Line.

By 8:15 a.m. TransLink was reporting service was partially restored with trains moving slowly along a single track. Buses were also brought in to move commuters from Metrotown Station to the downtown Waterfront Station.

Fairchild Radio ...in the old days they have reporters listen to local traffic radio AT HOME and the call back to the office and do a traffic report via phone line..

ha....Landline for a running train??....as far as i concern these trains aren't communicated with RF.

will you bring a landline with you when you go out for shopping?

Did you know: Canada line has an antenna run through the whole track in the center for staff's radio.

作者: 四眼仔 時間: 2010-9-10 14:22

The anchor of AM1470 said the problem happened at Millennium Line instead of Expo Line. What a big mistake......

I also listened to AM1320, they updated news each half hour. Also, they reported the skytrain service returned to normal at their noon news, good job, Am1470 reported such news at 1:00

you know how they do traffic?
They just got the press release, go out to the reception and use a land line phone in and report the traffic news. The reporter physically is in the office and they have the heli sound effect too

that's why they go to their website to get the info and update their traffic report

作者: KittyLeung74 時間: 2010-9-10 16:25

I heard the traffic announcment, too. The anchor was using just 2 sec (not 5 sec). She was reading from the script and the skytrain traffic was part of the news as usual. If you don't pay much attention to it, it is hard to notice.

When I listen this part, I am just wondering it is not serious, similar to those "blundell rd is busy", "alex fraser bridge is full of vehicles"....

AM1470 does not have any sense in news....so poor, so disappointed....

作者: tapioca 時間: 2010-9-10 17:01

maybe the anchor drives to work everyday and does not need to passby those station areas, so it is not big deal to her, then she would like it's not a big deal to others either

Why'd u wanna depend on 廢柴台 for traffic? There's "Traffic and Weather Together on the Ones, on NEWS 1130~" :p

Rant = no more b#itching.
Yeah, I used to have CBC radio on in the morning, way way better reporting.  But I don't know why I have fairchild on that morning.

I must turn in during the drive home the day before.  I love listening to c9 phone in to talk about politics.  By listening to them, I feel I am less stupid.

作者: yokult 時間: 2010-9-11 07:41

lucky I don't have a habit of listening to chinese radios here.

I either listen to news1130 or hong kong's radios.

作者: habitrailspace 時間: 2010-9-11 07:49
