Where the heck is the Illinois Game?

[Mags]

CBS-58 said they were going to show the Illinois game.... where the heck is it?

To make it worse, because they "claimed" they would show it, it is being blacked out by Directv, as it is CBS-58's primary game....

But they don't even bother showing their "primary" game?

I can't wait until ESPN wins the contact for the NCAA... it obvious CBS-58 can't handle the responsibility...

Why the heck would they show just the end of the TN game?  Bruce Pearl?  Jeesh, it's not like they showed every Seattle Seahawks game because of Mike Holmgren....

It's on now.

The flipping from game to game is done by CBS not the local affiliate.

I don't care who had the overall responsibility for this.  It was an absolutely unforgivable mistake.  The thing was you had the same game (TN) shown on two of the multicast channels at the same time, plus the other two games that were on.  The only game that wasn't on any channel was their "premier" game that was supposed to be shown locally... the Illinois / Washington game.

Calling CBS-58 was futile... the lady I spoke to was clueless... and said she couldn't help me.  I had relatives in town from Illinois ready to watch the game.  The fact that we didn't get the feed until there was about 4 min left in the first half was ridiculous.

If you can't get it right, don't try to do it at all, CBS-58...
