Greggo 351 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 KXAS, the NBC O&O for DFW, has issued a rare public apology for delays in breaking into last night’s Cowboys game to report on multiple tornadoes in its coverage area. Will be interesting to see if this does any long-term damage, ratings-wise, to the station. My guess is no. Certainly not a good look for them, though, at least in the short term. https://www.nbcdfw.com/weather/stories/NBC-5-Dallas-Fort-WorthKXAS-Statement-Regarding-Sunday-Oct-20-2019-Weather-Coverage-563578861.html Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/382/#findComment-234430 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRob 937 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 We discussed that scenario today. Normally we don't have tornadoes in football season. But if it happened with our local team, we would double-box the game (weather big box, game in the little box). 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/382/#findComment-234432 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem was you are in the toughest position; they probably thought taking social media heat and putting out a quick apology likely worked better in the end than a number of entitled Cowboys fans making death threats and calling for KXAS's license to be revoked because they dared to move the game to 5.2. Sadly, you know any calls for Ajit to make an example of them will fall on completely deaf ears.

I'm sure if there were quite a number injured/killed there might be a different opinion towards them. I was surprised, before I went to work that night, that it was just the game and a little corner graphic, no cut ins while I had it on. Meanwhile, KDFW showed a red-by-green possible tornado signature on their radar. If the late/great Harold Taft were still around, there would have been more than a small corner graphic on KXAS.

They did cut in a few times during the game, but not very often after that. As I've said on Discord, severe weather events during live sporting events is a lose-lose for stations.

Since I've moved to DFW, I've noticed that WFAA's breaking news coverage is underwhelming at best. KDFW is this town's news leader without a doubt, and KTVT has very solid coverage as well. Just a little weird at how bad WFAA is compared to how strong I've always heard the station was. Also I wonder would KXAS would have cut away from the game if it had been anyone other than Dallas playing a division rival? I'd like to hope that that's the only reason they stuck with the game despite it being a negligent decision.

Are the CBS O&O's getting a new graphics package within the next year or two? I believe last update was in 2016.
