More on the CBS preemption of Anaheim 1
Monday, January 9, 2006 | 1:56 PMThe Racer X in-box has been filling up with letters from
angry Amp'D Mobile Supercross fans who were hoping to see Sunday's
next-day coverage of the Anaheim race on CBS, only to have the show
pre-empted in some areas by local CBS stations.
"We have seen and received numerous complaints related to specific
markets not carrying the CBS broadcast of Amp'd Mobile World Supercross
GP/ Amp'd Mobile AMA Supercross Series yesterday. The show
cleared in 96 percent of the country, but it did not run in Houston,
Seattle, Nashville, and Dayton," said Ken Hudgens, vice president of
marketing, Amp'd Mobile Supercross. "While our goal is and will always
be 100 percent clearance across the country, the local CBS affiliates
can make the decision, as they often do, to air alternative
programming. We will continue to work with CBS and the affiliates
across the country to reach 100 percent clearance of the Amp'd Mobile
Supercross show for the remaining CBS broadcasts. Please note
that 96 percent clearance nationwide is keeping with the industry
standard and is higher than the clearance level supercross had on ABC."
