This was a stupid decision by this TV station

A Dallas/Fort Worth television station cut away from Jimmy Kimmel's emotional monologue about the Robb Elementary school massacre that left 19 children and two adults dead.
ABC affiliate WFAA-TV interrupted the six-minute, comedy-free monologue with a string of commercials, starting with an in-house news spot, before airing the end of Kimmel's opener, which he used for a three-minute ad for the gun violence prevention organization Everytown.org, reported the Star-Telegram.
To my friends in Dallas who are asking: I do not know whether our @ABCNetwork affiliate @wfaa cut away from my monologue tonight intentionally or inadvertently but I will find out, Kimmel tweeted. In the meantime, heres what you didnt get to see.

During the 2000 election campaign, Oprah was to interview Al Gore at 3:00. At 2:59 p.m. our local cable went out...only on that particular channel. It was out for a full hour, until 4:01 p.m. Imagine that.
