My responce from WSB-TV Atlanta for cutting the game

Thank you for your email regarding the Clemson game on Saturday evening. We appreciate hearing from you and receiving your feedback. The decision to switch to a different game was made by the network and is beyond our control. We will share your thoughts with them as well.
Thank you for viewing Channel 2 WSB-TV and www.wsbtv.com.

You'll be waiting at least 14 more years for Fox to take over.

The station here in Columbia (WOLO) didn't switch to another game.

Surprisingly the Augusta affiliate showed the entire game.

Funny that Indiana channels covered, but not those in Georgia. I know, maybe the network needs a map.

Good idea. I looked for one, but had no luck. Had I planned better, I might have found one, but I didn't have adequate time to find one. I'm certainly not as savvy as many/most when it comes to finding the right links and getting hooked into one.

The ones here in Charlotte didn't cut away, either. Saw the whole game to the end.

The one, the only one, our game was on did switch after the 3rd quarter. There is no BS to call. Glad your area didn't switch, but that doesn't mean that it didn't elsewhere. I live in middle Georgia, by the way, and there are quite a few Clemson fans in this state.

I would have threatened to kill his dog, just to make it seem more serious.

I live in Augusta and couldn't get it on Dish. Ended up streaming it and it was cut. Angry doesn't begin to describe it

Keep the pressure on. Atlanta's about to become Tigertown.

GT and the Falcons suck and THUGA is imploding.
After the FSU game, Atlanta will embrace the Tigers as their team.

Do we really want that? They do have a really rotten reputations being ugay homers, sometime GT homers, and terribly biased and unreliable. Not really something to hang one's hat on.

That's complete BS

The local station gets multiple satellite feeds from each network and shows the one they want..... Unless the game is blacked out.......

I am sure they had some intern in the studio that didn't know their ### from a hat and they flipped the nob and went back to watching the crothclickers suck it. I only regret not telling them they need to hire some decent looking news anchors while I was at it. Looks like i will either find tix for FSU or i will be watching the same channel that night.

The network does not control this... the affiliate does.

I was in Greenville Saturday and we missed the first few minutes of the game while the broadcast stayed on the UNC / Va. Tech game that was all but over with 1:30 left and the Holes down 17. However, when I got back home to Columbia, the local affiliate WOLO had cut away and my DVR copy had the game in its entirety - start to finish.
It turns out that the Greenville ABC station is broadcast out of Asheville, which being a NC affiliate is obviously going to stick with an NC team until the end and not cut away. I didn't see the end of the broadcast there but it sounds like they stuck with it until it was 0:00.
So we have three different ABC affiliates, all doing their own thing as they see fit according to their market.
Definitely a BS response from the Atlanta station.
