IN LOVING MEMORY OF
TIM CONWAY
Too bad if you missed it, I guess!
Yeah, I missed it. My local Fox affiliate decided to preempt the
entire episode with the local weather team announcing that there were
severe thunderstorms in our area. For half an hour. Like the radar
graphic and scrolling textbar at the top of the screen that they then
ran all through the rest of the evening wouldn't have been good
enough.
Even worse, the local NBC channel did the same instead of showing the
last half of the third period of a Stanley Cup playoff game. I've
never seen a live sports broadcast get preempted like that. Good
thing I'm not a Blues or Sharks fan, I guess.
