If you want to vent about KSLA hijacking the game yesterday, here is the station manager's e-mail addess.

there was a tornado warning for some counties in arkansas and oklahoma and they switched over to a weather broadcast for it that ran for at least 30 mins. i think after like 15 mins they finally at least switched to split screen but still had no sound for the game

The station weather people took over the broadcast as there was some bad weather way over in East Texas. For a good while in the second half there was no picture of the game. Then they gave a small split screen, but no audio.

We had the same weather. But they only broke in during commercials. I had the game going on my computer though in case they interupted the game.

and the station manager issue so bs response today about 50,000 people in the viewing are in bad weather. No one in Mt. Pleasant is watching Shreveport TV, they are watching Tyler or Dallas.

The station manager is UT alum and taught at A&M for 15 years so there is the real story. I am more pissed about that than the game. It was 20 minutes of no picture then they did split screen with no audio and I left the house and drove around listening to it.

But luckily that arse top that shite today...He was successfully able to ruin the whole football weekend by cutting over to weather for the 3 o'clock broadcast in shreveport. The only local station to even broadcast from the studio and cut off coverage on programming on both saturday and sunday this weekend. I am guessing he will be burned at the stake this week.

This isn't the first time they've done that shite.

Also did it during the Pats/Chargers game today.

Thats what I was referring to. Whoever made the decisions this weekend to cut over to weather both Sat and Sun is going to be fired. Especially when the warnings are for places that are 50+ miles and not going to effect at a minimum 90% of the viewers in the area.

They did the same shite for the LSU/UF basketball game (which we won) in 2007. The HD picture was eliminated for the entire game; they cut in and out about 8 times from start to near finish; they left a weather tracking radar up for the entire game; and they flashed, for the entire game, a message at the bottom of the screen. This storm, by the way, never hit Shreveport.

I called the station and told the guy (Ed something?) that it was beyond annoying and unnecessary and he told me I was being insensitive. I then told him some profanities and that peoples' lives do not come close to importance as LSU games and to mind his own business. Maybe it was my actions 3 years ago that caused this absurdity yesterday and I haven't lived in Shreveport in over 2 years.
