But NBC knew it had an affiliate in Lexington. The net could've called the affiliate and given them a heads up. That would've been the decent thing to do.
Note to affiliates: This just ought to be further proof of what the nets really think of you....
Phooey. Should they have preempted LOST if there was a plane crash? A cop show because there had been a murder or a car chase that day? Really, it's an absurd level of oversensitive blame mongering by people who have never and will never see anything good coming out of entertainment regardless of what they do.
