Louisville TV station apologizes for cutting off Kentucky game
Were you one of the many fans in Louisville outraged when Fox cut off the end of the Kentucky/Seton Hall game to show the beginning of the Louisville/Indiana game on Saturday? WDRB President and General Manager Bill Lamb took ownership of the decision today and apologized to viewers.
In an editorial, Lamb explained that because there was supposed to be a 30-minute gap between games, he agreed with Fox that if the Kentucky game went long, his station would switch to the Louisville game and move the Kentucky game to WBKI. Well, that happened, and people were pissed.
Yes, we ran a message on the screen that said UK game would be moving to WBKI. Nobody needed to miss a dribble. But that was inconvenient for viewers, rude to UK fans and didn’t take into account the people who were recording the game. I apologize.
Lamb vowed that moving forward, WDRB will start the second game on WBKI until the first game is over and switch back. And that’s his point of view.
