You know, there's an abnormally high number of videos I've done about broadcasting controversies involving being unable to watch the Dallas Cowboys play
At Super Bowl XXVIII between the Buffalo Bills and the Dallas Cowboys, most of America watched as the Cowboys won their fourth title in franchise history, defeating the Bills 30-13. But if you lived in the State of Vermont, you were straight out of luck, as in the city of Rutland, Adelphia screwed up big time, with the cable going out during the game. And to say that there was outrage would be putting it lightly

This is similar to what happened to my local NBC affiliate, WPSD, during the second half of Super Bowl XLIX in 2015. Their transmitter went out about 5 minutes into the 3rd quarter and didn't fully come back on until after the game had ended. The only people in the area not affected by this were people watching on Comcast in Paducah, KY (because WPSD feeds their signal directly through them as well as the transmitter) and people who lived close enough to another NBC affiliate that they could either pick up their signal with an antenna or get it through their cable lineup. The cause was due to a faulty power supply (specifically what they called a bad "stinger") from the company supplying the power to the transmitter.

Something similar happened in the Greenville NC market with Super Bowl XLII, but instead the issue being with the cable company, it was with the station. In that market at the time, 2 stations had to transmit the Fox signal throughout the market. WFXI, the Affiliate of record, was based out of Morehead City, a beach town. It was assigned to channel 8. Due to the fact there were channel 8 stations in the NC Triad, and Richmond, it had to broadcast extremely low power as not to interfere with either those, or WITN, the station on Ch 7. This resulted in a signal that only really reached the coastal portion of the state, meaning only Marines, and beach tourists could get the station OTA. Even though it was weak, WFXI received Fox by default as the market only had 4 stations, however, as a condition to maintain Fox, it had to sign a satellite station to remainder portion of the market, thus WYDO, on Ch 14, was born in the early 1990s. How that set up was relevant? During Halftime of Super Bowl XLII, an equipment failure in transmitting between WFXI and WYDO resulted in WYDO losing the Feed until late in the 3rd Qtr, and a vast majority of viewers got the WYDO feed, and it was the one cable systems used. In hindsight, it isn't surprising the station had issues. Until the ABC station in the market took over operations of the Fox stations in late 2008- early 2009, the station could seemingly never get the correct game, they would always air the first 5-30 minutes of the #1 game, until someone got the message to go to the correct feed. In addition, digging though the AVS forum, from who had someone who worked for the ABC Station, when they took over engineering operations for WFXI/WYDO, he said the Fox stations were seemingly held together by paperclips, rubberbands, and ducktape.

I’m sure all 12 Idaho residents were fairly upset about not seeing that masterclass of a Super Bowl

@SortaNonymous 5 месяцев назад

Yeah, I understand the pain of missing great sports moments due to technical issues. I know missing one finish is very different from a whole game, but last year when that thrilling March Madness Final Four game between San Diego State and the Owls happened, my internet and Hulu feed went bad with 20-ish seconds and I had to check online to see that San Diego State won on a buzzer beater. Man, that sucked. Then again, at least I got to see the rest of the game unlike Idaho for that Super Bowl. Yikes.

@Musicradio77Network 5 месяцев назад

Thankfully, WNBC-TV (channel 4) in New York City did aired “Super Bowl 28” without losing a cable signal from a cable company, they were using antennas to watch the game. No problem! New York City is different than Vermont.

I think that had something to do with a mutual swapping of broadcast years so that CBS could cover the winter olympics.

@@leogetz3570No, the NFL signed a 4-year TV deal in 1990. Instead of doing a straight rotation, each of the 3 partner networks got the Super Bowl once, while the 4th Super Bowl was put up for bid. NBC won and thus got two Super Bowls.

Something similar happened for the NFC championship game between the Vikings and Falcons following the 1998 season. WCCU channel 27 in Champaign Illinois was out all day, nothing but snow, cable or antenna. I happened to know a guy who had DirecTV and he was watching the game on the national feed of Fox, so I got to see most of the 2nd half. But a lot of people didn't get to see the game at all

@leogetz3570 5 месяцев назад

The only to catch the game is listening to the radio to hear the play-by-play of the game in case of an emergency where if there is no picture on TV. Radio is the only way to listen to the football game while the TV was out.

@MikeyKaos716 5 месяцев назад

Just to note a connection between Adelphia and Buffalo, the Adelphia scandal caused the NHL to take control of the Buffalo Sabres since the Rigas' owned the team at the time. The Sabres were sold to Rochester NY businessman Tom Golisano in 2003.

@andrewschwartz22 4 месяца назад

Notably, Adelphia also owned Empire Sports Network and FM sports station WNSA. Entercom bought WNSA in 2004, changed the format, and the Sabres would move back to the AM dial on WGR. Adelphia never got a buyer for Empire, which would fold by 2005, and the Sabres are now on an alternate feed of MSG.

This is very similar to what happened in Honolulu with the ABC affiliate later that year with the World Cup Final between Brazil & Italy. Before I go further, I should point out that this controversy only affected people who had cable in Honolulu which was Time Warner (now Spectrum). There were no issues if you were using an antenna. Like with this, there were warning signs in Honolulu that would affect locals ability to watch the World Cup Final with the biggest one being two hours before kickoff where ABC's Wide World of Sports (the lead in program for the World Cup Final) suddenly cut out in Honolulu & was replaced with a taped episode of the Jerry Springer Show. Then an hour later as Brazil & Italy walked out onto the field at the Rose Bowl for the World Cup Final, the ABC feed cut out entirely. The reason for this was that Time Warner & ABC were in a feud over carriage fees & Time Warner simply decided to cut the feed as a way of getting ABC to raise the fee. As a result, cable subscribers in Honolulu & throughout Oahu (the island where Honolulu is located) couldn't get ABC meaning if people wanted to watch the World Cup Final, they had to watch it in Spanish on Univision. Cable subscribers in Honolulu did not miss much when it came to the World Cup Final as it was one of the most boring of all time ending in PK's where Brazil beat Italy 3-2 after Italy's Roberto Baggio blasted his kick over the bar.

@marcus813 5 месяцев назад

Some of the public access channels that were on cable systems here in Tampa that are now part of Charter's Spectrum triple play service (part of Jones Intercable and, later, Time Warner Cable in the '90s) intentionally aired adult content. It wasn't something accidental like what happened with Adelphia's systems in Vermont.

9:01 - What you didn't mention is that the high for January 29th appears to be +45. That's a 75-degree (Fahrenheit) temperature swing in the course of 36 hours. Given this, I'm more surprised by the _timing_ of the failure (24 hours after that temperature swing) than by the failure itself.

A few corrections: the Jets are a non-entity in Vermont, and in early 1994, the Patriots (despite being the team most commonly shown on the NBC affiliate) lagged behind the Giants and even some other NFC East teams in part because Vermont’s CBS affiliate, WCAX, is so popular in the state. Also, while Rutland is a pretty big station by Vermont standards, the majority of the state’s population lives in central Vermont (Montpelier, Barre, Berlin) and up north (Burlington), so while it was a big deal for Rutland, most people in the state watched the game without incident. The real football crisis of the time centered around CBS losing the NFC rights because there was no Fox affiliate in the state.

@skittlecar1 5 месяцев назад

Need to correct you a little bit. That particular time in 1994, the NBC (WPTZ) affiliate was out of Plattsburgh NY, which showed Bills and Jets games. The CBS (WCAX) affiliate in Burlington showed the Giants when they had the NFC package. When the NFC rights went to FOX, there was no FOX affiliate in that ares until 1997. So WCAX, the CBS affiliate, took on FOX during NFL Sundays. So fans still saw the Giants. The Patriots didn't gain any traction in Vermont until 1998 when CBS took over the AFC package, and being in New England, started showing the Patriots. Bills and Jets fans in the area were left behind. There is still a big controversy and gripes when FOX has both the Giants and Patriots, WFFF FOX44, shows the Patriots. I'd almost say Vermont has a larger fan base of Giants fans than Patriots fans. Although it's closer than it was in the 70's, 80's and 90's.

@johnwiesner9590 5 месяцев назад

During the four seasons the Bills lost the Super Bowl their only regular season loss to an NFC team was the final week of the 1991 season at home to the Lions, where the Bills already had the top seed locked up and the Lions needed to win to keep their division title hopes alive, and hope the Bears lose the next night, which did happen. Two weeks later the Lions got their only playoff win in a 65 year span between 1958 and 2022.
