devilirish Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 For those of you who live in the Raleigh Durham area check your local NBC affiliate. They are showing Alabama vs Western Kentucky at 3:30. Contact NBC 17 to give us the ND game and shift Alabama to an alternate channel.

NDhoosier Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 that is odd considering that game is on ABC in my area I believe. How can two different networks show the same game? Besides, Notre Dame has a contract with all their home games, I just dont see how NBC can do that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilirish Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 NBC carries the Sec network in Raleigh Durham. In previous years those games were at 12:20. NBC would switch to the ND game before kickoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stdntDrvr Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 They do the same thing with the ACC here. I have to watch the first quarter on nbc's website until the ACC game that's being shown is over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubba of the Lake Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Wow! Never thought I'd say that I am relieved that I'm getting my NBC Feed from Winston-Salem (WXII), but.... Whew! Also happy that they have Nicole Douceur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synoptico Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Just emailed to express my frustration. I could understand if Bama was playing anyone other than Western Kentucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Ugh...this happens once a year in the Salt Lake market. The first weekend in October is the LDS (you know, the Mormons) church's general conference and the NBC affiliate in Utah is managed by or somehow connected to the LDS church so they show conference on the primary channel and run the game on a secondary channel and punish you for not watching conference by playing the game in sub standard def. (you guys notice that programs not in high def actually seem worse than standard def on my old Zenith?) I feel your pain--best of luck in getting some results!

Rocketsan Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Don't pull a Roy Spencer... Brian Spencer was drafted in the fifth Round, 55th overall by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 1969 NHL Entry Draft. On December 12, 1970, when Spencer was called up to play with the Leafs in what would be his first NHL game on television, he telephoned his father Roy in British Columbia to tell him to watch the game that night on Hockey Night in Canada. Spencer was to be interviewed between periods of the game. However, a game featuring the Vancouver Canucks versus the California Golden Seals was aired instead. Infuriated, Roy Spencer drove 135 kilometres (84 mi) to Prince George, where the closest CBC Television station, CKPG-TV, is located. When he arrived, he ordered station staff, at gunpoint, to broadcast the Maple Leafs game instead. The station complied, but as Roy Spencer left the station, he was confronted by the RCMP. After a brief stand-off Roy Spencer was shot and killed.[2][3] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.P. Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Well I might have to try to watch the game online cause I have Dish and in my area they have blacked it out cause of contract negotiations which also means I will miss NFL kickoff unless I can watch it online as well. So frustrating when you pay all this money every month and you get blacked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
