Good Job ABC on LLWS (jk of course)

So they decide to televise the Little League World Series on ABC and ESPN for the last week or two in HD.

And then, when the final game for the championship comes on today and Hawaii comes back from 6-3 to tie the game in the bottom of the 6th (last inning in LL)  and is going into extra innings to decide the championship of the LLWS.


ABC decides to put the news on instead and take the LLWS off the air.

I'm guessing this was a network decision as it was the ABC national news that came on but..........Give me a break.  Who makes these decisions.

What a joke of a network.

uh I'd say the higher the ratings the bigger the chance that it won't get preempted.  I guess LWWS wasn't doing that great in ratings.  Also Cat 5 hurricane is bigger story.

6-6 tie and first time headed to extra innings in years and we get switched to Hurricane coverage in a non affected area?  :confused:

I believe that national feed was switched if that was the case WISN had no choice.

The complaint was about ABC as a whole, however there are reports of East Coast stations that kept with the game throughout in HD in spite of the announcement by ABC so if WI$N didn't want to switch, they didn't have to.

I stand corrected.  Yet another WISN bad decission then
