For about half the game and most of 4th quarter, the score has been blocked by a fuking "accuweather" report.

If you live in north carolina, if it rains, you have to hear about it for the entire evening....

Just amazing they can't put it so it doesn't block the score/time, and why not just take it down for the last minute of the half and game.

I'm looking at the damn shot clock to get the game time.

Totally agree. Why can't they put that stuff at the top of the screen if the score is at the bottom? All local news sucks, but WTVD is far worse than the rest.

yesterday we were having tornado warnings through out the region in what seems to be the worst tornado season ever. the game was never interrupted but yes for about 25 minutes you could not see the score to check on your 5 or 10 dollar bet. sorry for your pain but maybe someone got some help that may have saved them from injury.

For one, they do half-hour shows when we get 2 inches of snow. For another, they put it on for way more than 25 minutes.

The main thing is...don't cover up the score. They could have easily put it under the score or on top of the screen.

For the record, I had $80 on the game, but that's not the point. The point is that they unnecessarily ruined a good game. Could not see the clock (or score) for the last half of 4th quarter and all of overtime, not to mention much of the first half as well.

Shame on you lowell for applauding such incompetence.

Touchdown, I see you had the right side last night with the Spurs. That game forced me to double up on my Crown and Cokes before I got that sick feeling in my stomach from booking a real loser. I just noticed your from NC..............I grew up surfing the Outter Banks as a young gromet.

Yeah, ended up with a great weekend. Made 20 units!!!

Played Celts tonight for 1 unit. Didn't watch much but have watched end of 4th and don't think I've seen Boston make a single shot. Oh well, no complaints.

Been in NC my whole life, mostly around the Raleigh area...

I emailed the station last week near end of game. They emailed me back during the week and said they had technical problems.

Game today they ran the accuweather stuff under the score. I emailed them back and told them what a great job they did today.
