FAIL*

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA You're missing the best Super Bowl EVAR, DOODS!

Norad: HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA You're missing the best Super Bowl EVAR, DOODS!

Shut up or I'll pick you up and throw you!

Feed is down here in Greenville, NC also. Sucks.

Not missing much..

Same thing is happening on Fox 11 out of Green Bay - it's been off and on all night.

Nope, not missing much... most sports on tv is snoozefest, but this takes the cake...

I'm in Arkansas watching on Fox 16- I thought they covered pretty much the whole state. I guess not.

Call the Whaaaambulance! Its a horrible tragedy.

Must be related to those intertube pipes getting cut by "boat anchors" overseas.

a long time ago, i worked production at a cbs affiliate in meridian, ms.

we lost power during the country music awards show, just as they were announcing "country music entertainer of the year."

it went like this: "...and the winner is" SNOW

the power came on again after a few minutes. viewers called, but we didn't know who won either.

a few months later, when the OJ jury came back with a verdict, we put ourselves on generator power to keep the same thing from happening again.

"Hey Scully, want somethin' from the feed store?"

And the commercials have really sucked too

I live in that area.. havent had any problems

BooHoo....

This Superbowl is worse than watching hockey on tv!

Looks like it might be the network's fault. So, he probably still has a job, but it still sucks to be him (probably got called in)... and the assignment editor, too.

/not called in
//scheduled
///almost wish our feed would die
////4 points is not enough
//I swear this is the last one

You really aren't missing anything.

I remember losing the feed once...

...back in NAM!

It sucks, but it's not as bad as it seems. It looks like their feed to Direct TV/Dish Network is down, as well as their standard over the air feed.

If you have regular cable, you're all set.

I'm running the feed for WMFD-AM, so I'm really getting a kick out of these replies.

I'm not really a football fan, so the game... meh.

/I hear it before you see it!

At least it didn't happen during the quarterfinals of the Albanian goat herding tournament.

If they're enot broadcasting the local commercials over the air, that means they're losing about a million $ every local commercial break. I guess you should have sprung for a backup fiber line to your transmitter, huh?

simpsonfan: At least it didn't happen during the quarterfinals of the Albanian goat herding tournament

Bite your tongue!

Don't jinx the AGHT like that!

Lot of mad Rednecks at Buffalo Wild wings right now is my guess.

Kids can't see the game the feed is still out.

Direct TV out of Okla City, Game is good, except for that last touchdown..................................

DAMN IT

FTFA: KHOG is an ABC affiliate.

a station in arkansas called KHOG. nice.

They should quit crying and go change the tires on their house.

puppy bowl FTW

FOX6Milwaukee is just fine. No problems here.

/commercials = shiat
//game got interesting after last TD and stop by the Giants

OH NOES!!! I CAN'T GET MY TV!!11!ONE

It's all a clever ploy by them satellite monkeys to get you up off your fat ass to go to the bathroom, instead of using your pop bottle.

shiatty Cox Cable in Kansas lost the game signal in the first quarter for like 5 minutes. Kinda sucked.

Remember kids, you can't spell "outrage" without "outage."

Nigersaurus: They should quit crying and go change the tires on their house.

No need. Just pick up a can of Fix-A-Flat at the local Home Depot.

What's a "super bowl"?

I'll bet a boat anchor broke it.

/Stupid boats, anchoring on top of the satellite dishes

MagicMan: This Superbowl is worse than watching hockey on tv!

Them's fighting words boy...

American football? Let me resume it for you. Bunch of supposedly straight guys in tights bend over a lot. Throw a ball, run for 3 seconds, most of the other guys just grab each other and stand still, everything stops for 5 minutes. Lots of talking, over-analyzing of trivialities, instant replays of some guy's elbow going over a line? Not going over a line? Exciting. Woo. Hoo.

BizarreRecords: On the other hand, the Chief Engineer will be the guy without a job Monday.

Guess he should be paying attention to those "career builder dot com" commercials during the game.

/wait, nevermind

Local stations in an average sized city get about $5-10k a :30 for the Super Bowl. Most stations have interruption of service insurance, but the commissioned ad salespeople are screwed. And they'll be more screwed because it was in sweeps, and it will affect what they can charge for regular spots into the summer.

that being said, in the rest of the world's version of football, goals are followed with team members leaping onto eachothers shoulders and face humping.

/I like both sports.
//soccer fans are just funnier.

i just came in here to laugh at the losers saying 'you arent missing much'

/greatest super bowl ever.
//and i dont like either team.

How do you think it will play out if it turns out to be the network's fault? I'm curious.

Wow.. My hometown hasn't made Fark in at least 8 months.. I'm not sure if I'm proud of this or not.. Either way glad I have a satellite feed..

We demand to know what happened to your Giants, your Patriots and their compellingly tight garments!



/Of course, this won't happen for 1000 years.

oops

irken623 sez:

Wow.. My hometown hasn't made Fark in at least 8 months.

And thats a bad thing?

Back in the early 80's I lived in a very small town in Oklahoma -- county population was about 4,000-5,000. Library was in an old house, there were two banks and two traffic lights, a couple of bars, a Pizza Hut, two diners, two convenience stores, a burger joint and one liquor store.

Very few crimes -- one murder in the two years I was there, and the grocery store got robbed once. Left the house unlocked, keys in the car, banks still had counter checks, and you could finance stuff just by signing the sales receipt.

Of course a single guy from out of town had no chance of scoring a decent woman. If they made it to 15 without being married, engaged, pregnant or some combination of the three, they were so ugly, deformed or psycho no one wanted them.

Did they just run Heidi instead?
