I posted/tweeted those words on Monday night during the NCAA Championship game.
Here’s why. They broke in the best NCAA basketball game in years to tell us about rain and a tornado 150 miles away….for an HOUR!!!!!
Look – I get it. Tornado coming, pop on tell the community tornado is coming, then pop off. Don’t stand in front of a green screen with circa 1980 graphics telling in all the cool cloud formations and what they mean for the next 55 minutes. We don’t care. If we are in the tornado’s path – we’re not listening anyway, we’re hiding in the basement.
So either way – it makes no sense to crash into programming for an hour. None. Throw up the picture in picture screen, do the annoying non-HD scroll announcement on the bottom since your station is too cheap to have HD – even though this is a capital city. Do anything except what you did.
And don’t stand on the TV and justify WHY you are not going back to the game and giving me score updates. All that does it make me angrier. Because it means YOU are watching the game while I have to watch YOU.
This is why Google is not coming to Topeka.
There — I feel better.

That’s what the 13.2 should be for! (If they have one)
I’d like to point out that even most of the Birmingham Alabama stations have the capability to do an HD Scroll now.
Here in Indianapolis, a tonado would have taken out the tv station before they would have broken coverage of the game.
All the IU and Purdue fans suddenly became Butler fans last week.
That should say “tornado” not tonado
Which is exactly why I switched to watching the game on the Internet. No Jeremy Goodwin!
LOVE it. don’t love channel 13!
Hey tech man, Debbie is telling you right. They cut away from a game and I go online…did it more than once during tournment.
The safety of people is more important than a basketball game between a North Carolina team and Indiana team in the middle of Kansas. If you must cry about the coverage cry and grow up! Thank you God for the information and coverage.
