Having been a master control operator at a local independent tv station here in NH for several years I can speak to my experience. The only real tv we had in the station was in the lobby waiting room that constantly showed our station. In master control what we had was a monitor that showed our signal from the tower so if there were any transmitter problems we would know about it right away. We would also use it to check video levels and tint of the broadcasted picture. We had scopes that we would set levels by but even tho the scopes would say we were good the pic over the air sometimes would look too saturated or would have a color shift. It was never a good thing to get a call from the station manager with a complaint that an advertiser wasn't happy with how their commercial looked over the air.
