TV Snub again in St. Louis - NewsChannel5 KSD-freakin-K

Really no reason to not get WCSN, especially if you're willing to pay for cable.

Let's have a brief lesson in how TV works (not the signal issue).

A TV station stays in business by selling ads. A sales weasel goes out and says "I can sell you a 30 sec spot for the Cardinals game for $X or a 30 sec spot for the track and field championships for $Y. (Note: Y

So which one gets the ad time?Also, local stations make a lot more money airing local programming where they keep all the ad money. For a network broadcast, they get a few slots.Also, there are contractual issues. I am betting the TV station has a long term deal to telecast Cardinal games for which it sold ad spots long before the season began. It has to honor that contract.The fact is that fewer people care about track than care about any baseball team.

Let me get this straight. You hate the Cardinals (the defending World Series Champions and one of the most beloved teams in all of baseball) and KSDK for not airing the World Championships because they signed a contract before the season started to show the baseball games?You thought that KSDK would just bump the Cardinals game for the WCs?That's your line of reasoning? Seriously?Go back to insulting the customers at the Running Center. Something you do much more effectively than attempting to have a rational thought.

I'm convinced the local NBC station (KSDK) is anti Track & Field.

A few months ago the Prefontaine meet was delayed until after the Cardinal baseball game.... THEN they totally pre-empted the meet to have a post-game show about the game. (...to talk about how many times Albert PoopHoles took a drink of water throughout the game.) I never saw the Pre meet!!

Today, Worlds is supposed to be on 11:30am-1:30pm STL time. (You are all watching it right now......) KSDK is showing some make-up show with Melisa Gilbert. (I think the Cardinal game starts at 1:00pm so I'm sure they did not want to take a chance.....)

People in STL wonder why I hate the Cardinals and STL's attitude towards them......

Thanks

God I have Versus!!!!!!!!!!

You hate the Cardinals (the gangbanging World "Ass-stitcher" Sucks Raunchs and one of the most wad pulled teams in all of baseball) and KSDK for not airing the smacking World "Hard-on" Championships because they assf***ed a contract before the fingerf***ing season started to show the dripping baseball spanks?

You thought that KSDK would just bump the Cardinals game for the WCs?

That's your line of banging? Seriously?

Go back to aardvarking the customers at the Running "Up the Arse" Center. Something you do much more effectively than attempting to have a rational thought.

I'm so totally reporting you.

Hey walter, you realize the owner of The RC has become the next me!?!
