I sure am..

This REALLY SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the 3rd time we've been screwed out of the proper show this year.

With all of the cancellations of the Queens for hockey, and now this!?!?!?!

How would you EVER be able to build a viewer base with such ridiculousness.

I have no idea...webscorer is not working either.  Wonder if they had feed problems in Rockford (this is the only taped broadcast I have seen of our events that had the "recorded earlier" note onscreen).  Supposedly we were supposed to be keeping everything the same through Dallas, and that included the TV contract.

Rockford is now airing...I saw a program alert flashing across the screen right before the cut to commercial.

Now they're back.... Wow what a way to lose viewers.

All it would have taken was a simple ticker letting us know they were running a few min late.

I bet they lost 1/2 of the people who would have been watching it.

WOW!!!! Allstar23, it took you a whole 10 seconds to log on and complain.
If you waited a couple more min you would have seen the correct show being telecast. It may be wise not to jump to conclusions soquickly. The telecast is live so things can go wrong!

Wayne....... They gave NO notice that they were going to be showing the correct show. So juding on the past history of telecasts this year, why should we have thought any different?

Not only that, but think of how many people are now watching a different show. It wasn't just all-star, there are thousands of people that probably would have been watching right now, that aren't.

Also to add to this & the future of the PWBA, in order to stay within their broadcast window, they're probably going to have to cut 2 or 3 of their comercial breaks.

How are you going to keep your current sponsors, let alone get new sponsors that way?

I agree that in the past ESPN has "drop" the perverbial ball, but we need to take the time, at least a few min before dropping the "they suck" attitude on them. After all, if they did not step up to the plate and sign on with the PWBA do you think any other sport network or any other channel for that matter would carry the PBA/PWBA tour? I think not. Give them a little credit and do not be quick to judge. Live tv is very suceptible to glitches/gremlins. Sure a notice at the bottom of the screen may have apeased some of you.

Leftside; I never claimed to be the Live Tv guru, anyway you sig says it all about you with emphasis on you last word
