CBS error angers USU fans
Utah viewers missed most of the first half of the Utah State-Marquette game because of a "network switching error," according to KUTV management.
Aggie fans who tuned in Friday morning to see their team's NCAA tournament appearance instead saw CBS coverage bouncing from game to game, with only a few minutes of USU-Marquette. And fans weren't the only ones surprised — Ch. 2 was expecting CBS to provide the Utah State game from Boise.
As phones rang off the hook at KUTV, station personnel worked with the network to correct the error. The USU-Marquette feed was finally established with just under seven minutes remaining in the first half.
