World Series coverage

Did WDRB just....stop airing the World Series midway through the tenth inning to show local news?

Yup. Into the 11th inning and their live update is 'tied in the 9th'

The channel is glitching out too. There’s been 2 half-assed news stories, a commercial that restarted in the middle, and about 15 seconds of dead air. Meanwhile, the World Series could end at any time.

30 seconds of an episode of Big Bang Theory, then they finally cut back to the WS. WTF was all that about.

If you have a tv provider that has Fox 4K, it is still on that channel

Corporate media ownership groups need to be blown up and ownership returned to local entities that are allowed no more than one station per broadcast channel: Meaning one TV, one radio, one print.

You can also download the Fox ONE app and sign into that app and watch the game still.

My new TV asked me if I wanted a 4K feed, and I clicked yes. It changed channels, and the game is still on. That's nuts if WDRB cut it out.

Just went through the same thing. Same dumb newscast on WAVE at the same time. Finally fixed it but that was a broadcast f up

Only in Kentuckiana do we have our local news stations put a stop to our entertainment.
