60 minutes

Anyone else notice this, it started a couple months ago, all the audio on the show sounds like the person is talking into a can or something, it's really annoying.

I watched it about a month ago (episode on the oil markets).  I didn't notice anything unusual.

Maybe it's my cable company or something, because it's not my TV because I checked my other TV and it sounds the same, and I saw the episode your talking about and it was like that then too, like I said, it sounds like all the audio is coming out of a can, and it's just 60 minutes that sounds like that, it just started a few months ago.

that might be it, I've been having trouble recently, FX and discovery come in very soft, i have to crank up the volume, then i forget i did that and change the channel and get startled.

And I think I'm getting the same sound effect your getting occasionally on A&E as well as National Geographic, sometimes it will have this weird sound quality too it and its really apparent when someone says something with an S; theres a crackling noise when they make an s noise.

I just let it slide since that isnt all the time, but the low sound on FX and Discovery is kinda annoying

Well see this is the thing, it only happens with the show 60 minutes, no other CBS shows sound like it, and no other shows on any other channels sound like it, like I said it just has this odd sound quality to it, like a slight echo, and the best way I can describe it is it's like the people are talking into a can.

I use to watch 60 minutes all the time until I learned just how much error is in their reporting. A great example is the bad rap they did on Audi. They were saying Audi's would jump in gear on their own and were dangerous. They did this with no solid evidence or stats. Then they were proven wrong. However, Audi almost went out of business in the mean time. I can think of about 3 or 4 more stories where the reporting was more along the line of fables.

Yeah this was bad reporting, they used customer reports of acceleration when the brake pedal was pushed.  And then they rigged the car.  But this was 20 years ago.  New people come, stupid people are fired.  I expect stuff like this to happen across the journalism industry because there's always some reports trying to get that big story.
