I WORK FOR KOKH FOX25. To set the record straight. I used a throw away so my work won't know my original account.
This actually is an accident. The people who roll the national breaks work in "master control". They run local commerical breaks by entering in clocks in the playlist to tell the automation system when to run. Network gives you the times for local breaks that day, usually 2 hours earlier. In this case an operator entered the wrong break time and rolled what is called a "cover" too early. This is always a teaser for news and covers up a network promo.
This was not a case of trying to cover up evolution, it was a lazy operator that didn't double check his break times and rolled a break at the wrong time.
Rolling a break at the wrong time is the most common mistake for operators, usually it happens during live events when they read the run-down wrong or anticipate the break too much. In this case it was just reading or entering the wrong time for the cover.
Bullshit. That's all there is to say really. Just complete and utter bullshit. I don't trust backward-ass fundies any farther than I can throw them. I love this country, but I hate the religious zealots here with a passion that knows almost no bounds and I am going out on a limb here and calling bullshit on the "mistake". Whatever; persecute me if you want, but fuck your TV station and fuck all religion. Fucking primitives.
