Fucking local NBC affiliate.
Tonight's Stanley Cup final is on Washington's NBC 4. Just as Detroit is about to start a power play, the goddamned channel cuts out to give us the same fucking weather warning we've been getting since mid-afternoon (you know, instead of using split screen or a scrolling banner like the other networks do).

Detroit scores while we're blocked out. Only goal of the game so far, and I missed it because of these shiteating fucks. If you're not a hockey fan, substitute something that means something to you - whether it's the final results of American Idol, finding out who the final Cylon is, seeing Warrick Brown's last moments on screen, whatever floats your boat.

Fuck you, NBC 4.

4. There are more than ten people in my house watching it.
If they're not going to treat it seriously, they should just leave it to Versus. Versus does a better job anyway.

3. Affiliate, hell. It's owned and operated by NBC.
You'd think they'd know better. Now you know why NBC Sports consists mainly of hockey, one football game a week, and the Olympics. :eyes:
