[BC] Boston Legal - news insertions during reruns

[Paul Smith W4KNX]

Ch 8 in Tampa interupted a ball game to broadcast a tornado warning.  Boy
did they get grief over that one....They had the tornado live on TV.  The
station manager said the weather dept was "counseled" about this... They
probably could have gone split screen with a crawl.

Well, it WAS a re-run.  Years ago CBS interrupted the season finale of
Dallas to air news of the Tiananmen Square massacre in Beijing.  Dallas fans
were livid.  CBS later re-played the episode.
