[mythtv-users] The Heidi Game: Why TV stays on the sports program

[Jay Ashworth]

Unburied from the CBS thread: the saga of the Heidi Game; the 1968 Jets/
Raiders contest preempted in its last 2 minutes by a Timex-sponsored telecast
of 'Heidi'.  *This* is why US network television never cuts away from the 
ballgame (except, occasionally, to another ballgame):
