What is this you speak of?!?!?!

I have my DVR recording ALMS... I hope it isn't tennis, I want my share of motorsports action too!

EDIT: Oh my gosh, it is true...

The listings say "Auto Racing" (ALMS), but it's just tennis

My DVR is wasting space on some non-motorsports content!!!

EDIT: I sent a complaint to KGO through here, EVERYONE SEND A COMPLAINT:

Looks like ALMS will show in a bit. I guess the tennis match went over time.

Edit: Scratch that. WTF.

Second time this has happened to me with the jerks.

This time with all the ad's about how they would be broadcasting it, it's insane.

What if you had invited a bunch of people over and got food to bbq and what not. Lame-o

Here is the response I received:

Adam,

ABC-TV's coverage of Paribas Tennis ran over by 90 minutes ending at 4:29pm. This unusually long overrun resulted in the network decision to preempt ABC-TV's "American LeMans Series" originally scheduled to air from 3:00 to 4:30pm.

We certainly understand your disappointment and frustration over this occurrence. But the unpredictable nature of coast-to-coast live network sports programming often leaves stations in the west with no local choice in the matter.

Note that ABC-TV has no plans at this time to reschedule "American LeMans."

Thank you for taking the time to write.

I got the same exact response. I guess they saw tennis as a higher priority. Oh well
