Detroit affiliate replaces Breeder Cup coverage with LifeLock infomercial

[Event_Horse]

Tuned in to WDIV (Detroit’s NBC affiliate) at 8 pm to watch the Classic and there was an infomercial on for LifeLock! Made a phone call to the station to complain about how they always cut off horse coverage (every year, the Rolex coverage, etc.) and the employee said “Well, there’s coverage of the Kentucky Derby all day on Saturday.” More or less - we give you one day a year - what more do you want? Excuse me, how much football is shown every weekend, Monday, etc.? Eventually, after 15 minutes, they cut back to the Breeder’s Cup coverage.

Please call the station on Monday at 313-962-9348 or e-mail them at wdivprogram@clickondetroit.com to complain. Let’s flood them and let them know there are a lot of horseracing fans out there.

Thanks.

That’s awful!
Probably should look into getting an account like on Twin Spires - don’t have to really bet, but they do show the races.

Why on earth would any NBC affiliate show an infomercial at 8 pm on a Saturday, regardless of what the scheduled programming was? I thought infomercials were reserved for the wee hours of the morning.
