Austin NBC Station Runs News Promo During Overtime, Misses Winning Goal

http://deadspin.com/austin-nbc-station-runs-news-promo-during-overtime-mis-514533238

It's not exactly Heidi, but a major blunder by Austin, Tex. NBC affiliate KXAN deprived Lone Star State hockey fans the sudden-death goal that clinched Game 4 for the Blackhawks.

That a morning news promo—and a bit of a Kia ad and something featuring R. Lee Ermey—showed up at just the wrong time makes it pretty perfect. Perfect for us, at least, who are fortunate enough not to live in Austin. [KXAN]

Lone Star State hockey fans


Both of them are probably calling the station right now.
