New '80s? No, try 1968.
[link|http://www.raiders.com/history/gm2.jsp|Raiders History]:

With 65 seconds remaining in the 1968 Jets-Raiders game, the Jets kicked a field goal to take 32-29 lead. The Raiders returned the ensuing kickoff to their 23-yard line. NBC, the network televising the game, then went to commercial -- and never came back.

It was 7:00 PM on the east coast as the commercial break concluded. NBC was scheduled to air the children's movie Heidi at 7:00. Rather than show the end of the game, NBC Broadcast Operations Supervisor DICK CLINE followed the network's predetermined plan and switched to Heidi.


Tempus fugit.

Cheers,
Scott.

I'm trying to figure out what the proportion of "friendliness" to "menace" is in that post.
