The Blade’s media partner WTVG-TV Channel 13’s Sunday 9 a.m. broadcast will not be live because of ongoing computer issues caused by a virus that hit last week. 

The computer virus, which affected the news channel’s video system, continues to infect the servers at Channel 13. Instead of the morning broadcast, “This Week” with George Stephanopoulous will run again. 

The 6 p.m. broadcast is expected to air live.
