Ah, the dregs of internet garbage. :shake:

The only thing I don't get is how people watching TV are in a position to see a 92 pickup on its way to Denver or OKC.

You mean like they did all last night? I don't mind the alert. Don't mind the 1/3rd screen but why does it drop to SD? Why can't they time it for the 30 seconds after the play is down? They're seemingly running it just in time for a play to start.

yeah they could just run that red tape at the bottom of the screen. what takes up the most space is the huge KCTV5 logo

And not during commercials, which tells you what they really think of the alert.

You must be a real scum bag

Only if you're misunderstanding the complaint.

Post-partum depression is a lot different than a mother taking her own kids from state custody because she wants her kids back.

I was on the couch in the basement and durring the game I saw the alert and I then jumped up grabbed my keys and went looking for those kids on I 70 near my home. It was more interesting than watching the game anyway.

Hope they get called out for that.

Children die at the hands of their parents. It happens too frequently during custody battles. The mother is non-custodial and on the run. She could kill them inadvertently while on the run. Then again, maybe she won’t hurt or kill them. The fact is that she’s taken them illegally. And there’s probably someone holding their breath during the worst day of their life, hoping and praying that the system works and the kids are returned.

The “Amber Alert” system is a good one. Anyone that complains about it because they’re not getting a full screen of football is exhibiting a pathetic and inhumane selfishness that defies anything that is right or good about ourselves. Just my humble opinion.

I don't think anybody is complaining *about* the alert. The complaints have been about the timing and chosen method for the alerts.

I'm now watching my first amber alert during commercial of the day from kctv5.

I was writing an email to Aaron Barnhart aboutthat exact topic when it happened.

To be clear, I have NO issue with the amber alert, I even understand why they drop to SD (no HD overlay equipment at the local level) but why did they not show (and even discontinue in at least two cases) the alert during commericials??

Then, after the local town game (when commerial time costs the most) they actually display one during commericals??

kctv5: "we'll help, as long as it doesn't cost us money???"

More amber alert during commercial.
