Kentuckians Are Not Happy With CBS

Written by Brian Powell on .


It's one thing to go away from a game when it's a blowout is one thing, but when a network switches away from a contest when it's a one point game and there's only 47 seconds left....someone's going to be pissed.

This is exactly what CBS did during today's Kentucky-Arkansas game and the local Kentucky network has been fielding so many angry calls that their telling people to call CBS Headquarters in NYC.....
LEXINGTON, KY - With 47 seconds left in the game between U. K. and Arkansas the Network switched away from the game and then switched back after 17 seconds.

The final score was 63-58. U.K. WON! WKYT-TV called CBS immediately after the mistake was made and had it switched back.

CBS is trying to find out where the error was made.

CBS New York's phone number is 1-212-975-3247. Hundreds of outraged fans have called and scores have e-mailed WKYT-TV and have been referred to the network number to register their complaints.
Ha. I love the "U.K. WON!" part that they threw in there. I can't imagine how much I'd flip out if that happened to me, but at least you won the game Kentuckians.
