TBS Responds!

For all of you on the edge of your seats regarding the TBS issue from Saturday's epic blog, you may be interested to know they sent me back an e-mail. Here it is:

THIS IS AN AUTOMATED RESPONSE, PLEASE DO NOT DIRECTLY REPLY TO THIS EMAIL.

Thank you for taking the time to write us at TBS.

Solution:
On Saturday two circuit breakers in our Atlanta transmission operations tripped causing the master router and its backup - which are necessary to transmit any incoming feed outbound - to shut down. This impacted our live feed for baseball from being distributed to any of the other networks in the Turner portfolio and caused the delay in our coverage. Both our primary and backup routers were impacted by this problem. We apologize to baseball fans for this mishap that caused a delay in our coverage.



So this is the response it took approximately 60 hours to receive. You can bet a heapin', helpin' of fancy lawyers were involved in this one. Funny, the feed never goes out when they are playing re-runs of Friends or that comedy tour de force Frank TV!
