Dallas TV station issues apology for delaying tornado warning during NFL game
https://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/dallas-tv-station-issues-apology-for-delaying-tornado-warning-during-cowboys-game/606418
| Quote: | “We made a mistake by not immediately interrupting the football game with a tornado warning,” the station said in a Monday evening statement. “When it comes to dealing with severe weather, we know that seconds matter. We should have broken into football programming sooner. We apologize and want you to know that we’re doing everything in our power to make sure this does not happen again.”
KXAS said it had been streaming live weather coverage on its website while also alerting the football audience to the live stream throughout the game on the network. The network delayed breaking into the football game, which drew the second-highest TV ratings for a "Sunday Night Football" broadcast this season, for six minutes. |

If the Cowboys were playing and there was a nuclear attack, Dallas TV stations would go for the ratings and let the critics be damned.
