The 2000 game between the Nebraska Cornhuskers and the Oklahoma Sooners was a battle between the top two teams in the BCS rankings. You would think that this would mean that the game would be nationally televised for the whole country to see. However, the entire West Coast initially did not get the game... due to children's programming. This is the story behind the bizarre controversy

This also happened during the first year of NBC's Premier League coverage back in 2014 where NBC's hour block of children's programming called NBC Kids preempted the start of the rivalry match between Cardiff City-Swansea City in the Seattle, Spokane & Boise TV markets. Those markets only got the second half of the match while everyone else got the match in its entirety. NBC was relatively new at broadcasting soccer at the time & thought that Premier League fans wouldn't notice this especially given the fact that Cardiff & Swansea were not as well known in the US as let's say Manchester United or Chelsea. However like many of the NFL broadcasting dramas covered on JaguarGator9, Premier League fans mainly from Seattle filled the online NBC customer chat box with complaints, to the point in which NBC decided to show the 1st half of the match on NBCSN while the children's programming was wrapping up.

@GarrettCRW Год назад

This video is skipping over a bit of the story here. In the early ‘90s, it was not uncommon for cartoons on ABC to get bumped at 9 or 9:30 for college football. HOWEVER, when enforcement of the Children’s Television Act (the piece of legislation that, along with Saved By the Bell, helped to murder Saturday morning cartoons) was strengthened, that meant that every station had to air four hours a week of E/I programming that was mandated by the Act. In those days, it meant that the four networks essentially nuked their existing Saturday morning blocks to fit the rules (except NBC, whose TNBC block always had been E/I compliant) so that all affiliates would be covered by the rules. (Nowadays, the stations are left to fend for themselves with syndicated content that’s weekend filler in periods when the networks aren’t airing sports.) So, what we have here is ABC not wanting to alter their regionalization strategy because it would interfere with the broadcasting of content mandated by law. Or, to put it another way: ABC was being lazy, possibly to protect the 12:30 game’s status as the “national” game and to avoid pre-empting the regular network schedule in part of the country (thereby interfering with ad revenue). (On a side note, the PBA and Wide World of Sports were always tape delayed on the West Coast, even at the bitter end when both were dying in the ratings, to preserve the network schedule.)

@matthewdaley746 Год назад

Nebraska - Oklahoma was seemingly always played at noon ET, 11 AM their time. College football at night is a relatively new (30 something years now) phenomenon. It was popularized by ESPN. Outside of LSU, very few schools wanted to play at night, or even later in the afternoon. The obsession with over the top tailgating and having to be bombed to go to games again, is relatively recent (30-40 years). Before 1984, it was rare for schools to be televised a lot, so most schools kept their "traditions" (kickoffs between noon and 2 PM).

"The loser while not out of it, would not control their destiny." Nope they would open the door for the Defending Champions Florida State to sneak in....which can be a video in of itself because Washington should have been in the title game.

Bobby Bowden, somehow, whined his way into, The, National Championship, Game, which he would, lose, of course, if he had a kicker, this wouldn't have been an issue, (sound familiar), Miami, wasn't, "robbed," though, and, they, weren't, in 2002, either, whenever, you, lose, a, Game, you, also, lose, the, right to complain.

It was stupid for ABC to cut away from the Buick Classic in 2004 to show a rerun of America’s Funniest Home Videos. But if they had stayed with the golf tournament, it might have cut into their coverage later that evening of Game 4 of the 2004 NBA Finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Detroit Pistons.

Yeah plus not very many people care about golf. I for one would much rather watch an AFV rerun than golf.

CBS had something like that come up with the Canadian Open and the Tony Awards (which is Broadway's biggest night) but Nick Taylor sank a 72-foot winning putt just before the Tony's were to start. Probably the best lead-in you could get for the Tony's.

If the Oklahoma Nebraska game was at noon eastern, wouldn’t it have been 11:00AM in Norman? Are college football games allowed to begin before noon local time?

It is quite common, in fact, used to be normal for the Big 10 and the Big 8.

@aaronholcomb237 Год назад

Most stadiums in the Big 10 and the Big 8 didn't yet have permanent lights, so a game couldn't start too late, especially after the DST time change (fall back).

Networks didn't think of the children when cartoons got blacked out, for, "crucial," coverage of, The, Bill Clinton Articles Of Impeachment Vote, kids missed their cartoons, so, that the, "riveting," process could be covered live, oh, and, I'm, not, talking about, guilt-or-innocence, I'm talking about the formality, that, was, determining if the hearings would actually advance.

Washington and USC were two of the premiere programs in the nation at that time, and the game would've been seen at 3:30 EST anyway.
