Technical Issue Leaves Thousands Without Super Bowl


SPRINGDALE, Ark. -- Thousands of football fans in northwest Arkansas and far eastern Oklahoma have no idea what's happening in Super Bowl XLII on Sunday.

According to the KSTA-TV Web site, Super Bowl coverage on FOX 24 has been off the air since 3 p.m. Hundreds of viewers have called 40/29 News with questions and comments about the outage.

KHBS/KHOG is an ABC affiliate.

A statement posted to nwahomepage.com reads: "Due to a technical difficulty, the air signal and some satellite services are not receiving and broadcasting the Super Bowl on Fox."

Customers of DirecTV can watch channel 700 temporarily to watch the Super Bowl. There was no word whether Dish Network customers could see the Super Bowl as of 6:30 p.m.

That really sucks.

It finally came on during halftime. Later in the game, a logo popped up in the lower right corner. Apparenlty, we got the feed from the Springfield MO affiliate. Not sure if Fox 24 or Dish arranged that, but I'm glad we got the 2nd half. Turns out, we just needed to see the 4th qtr anyway:)

I would not want to be that stations GM.:eek:
