"literally blown"?
What does it mean that the switchboard was "literally blown"? Did it actually blow into pieces? Did it have some kind of electrical failure and simply stop working? The words "literally" and "blown" are both so abused that some kind of clarification or rewording would help that sentence. I won't make the modification myself because I literally don't know what happened and might literally blow my reputation as a responsible Wikipedia editor. SnappingTurtle 02:55, 21 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I would assume that it ceased funnctioning in a normal manner... AnonMoos 13:25, 28 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Unless it actually exploded, the phrase "literally blown" is inappropriate. "ceased to function" would be better. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 212.146.47.250 (talk) 10:08, 13 February 2007 (UTC).

Obviously you are Not familiar with the technology used in those days and the fact that fuses and the like were used. Hence the term "BLOW a fuse". Electrical connections do in fact BLOW out etc. when there is a sudden surge. Just like your computer would if there were an energy surge. So the the term is correct and appropriate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.17.96.8 (talk) 05:50, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

"10 Sept 2006"
Anyone want to put the Titans / Jets game in as a similar event? CBS cut off the game late in the 4th, Titans down by 7 in the red zone. I'd put in it, but the announcer said it had something to do with "NFL rules" and I can't find any rule germane. Someone more knowledgeable could explain this one...

incident
I edited the sentence "NBC tried to contact the mobile unit in Oakland to call Broadcasting Operations, but _Broadcasting Operations_ countered that they needed direct orders in order to rearrange schedule programming." to add the indicated language to try and make the sentence make sense, but someone who knows what happened should check this edit. Later in this article,when Cline says Goodman called him and ordered the game back on, why didn't anything happen? Fitzaubrey 16:26, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Millionaire

 * The game was included as part of a question in the show Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?, and the contestant went on to answer the question incorrectly after asking the audience.

What was the question, and what was the contestant's answer? - furrykef (Talk at me) 22:25, 9 September 2007 (UTC)


 * My best guess is "What movie infamously interrupted the final 65 seconds of an NBC broadcast of an AFL game between the New York Jets and the Oakland Raiders in 1968?", or something along the lines of that. - Spyke1077 02:30, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Two sections were called "Aftermath" so I changed the first one to "Reactions". - Spyke1077 20:03, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Outcome of game
I removed the following events from the article, as most are incidents caused by a commercial break (whereas the Heidi Game was caused by cutting to other programming and not returning), or are motorsports events that were rain delayed (which is not uncommon, unfortunately). —  Brother Flounder  02:14, 17 September 2007 (UTC)


 * In 1986, a somewhat similar incident occurred during CBS' college football telecast of the game between USC and Notre Dame, from the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Notre Dame had the ball at the USC 9-yard-line and lined up to attempt a field goal with two seconds left, trailing 37-35, when Notre Dame called a time-out. CBS then cut away to a commercial break, but the teams returned to the field, and Irish kicker John Carney kicked the field goal to win the game, 38-37 as time expired. By the time the network returned to the game, the kick had already taken place and the Irish were celebrating the win.


 * In 1989, an incident similar to the above took place during Super Bowl XXIII. The American Forces Network was handling the live feed to the United States military in Europe.  The San Francisco 49ers had just reached the Cincinnati Bengals' 10-yard line, where they called timeout.  AFN was not allowed to show American television commercials, so it cut away from the Super Bowl feed to show two AFN-produced advertisements.  After those commercials, AFN then cut back to a still-shot of the stadium, but after a few seconds cut away for a third commercial.  Immediately after that commercial ended AFN cut back to the game, only to show the 49ers celebrating the game-winning touchdown (Joe Montana to John Taylor).  The following year all personnel involved in broadcasting the Super Bowl were carefully briefed on the "proper operating procedures."


 * In 1990, TNT broadcast the Italy-Ireland quarterfinal match of the 1990 World Cup and cut away to commercials with about 8 minutes left in the first half. During the commercial break Salvatore Schillaci scored the only goal of the match. As a result, in 1994 ABC and ESPN agreed to show all matches of the World Cup without commercial breaks, thus forcing ads to be placed in a box at the top of the screen during play.


 * In 1995, the start of the Brickyard 400 was delayed by rain. When it appeared the race might be postponed until the following day ABC went off the air at 4:00 pm A few minutes later, the rain stopped and the race was held after all, with no television coverage. Angry fans filled the switchboards of numerous ABC affiliates. As the race was technically an "infomercial" as the time for the race was purchased by the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on ABC, and not based on a rights fee, the time-buy had ended contractually. The race aired the next day on ESPN in its entirety, with little, if any, action from commercials removed.  Dale Earnhardt was the race winner.


 * The 1996 NASCAR DieHard 500 as Talladega Superspeedway was rain-delayed several hours. CBS decided to not show the race and instead show a golf tournament, local news, and 60 Minutes, which was scheduled to be on after the race.  After fans complained, the race was televised taped the following Sunday on CBS, even though the Brickyard 400, the next race on the NASCAR schedule, had been run the day before.  Jeff Gordon won the Talladega race.


 * In 1999, ESPN2 ditched the end of NASCAR Winston Cup Series qualifying from Martinsville Speedway to show Wayne Gretzky's retirement press conference. Viewers missed seeing Tony Stewart win his first career pole position.


 * In 2005, the British network ITV covered Formula One's San Marino GP in Imola, Italy. As Michael Schumacher harried race leader Fernando Alonso with three laps to run, ITV switched to a 3-minute ad-break. The action returned on the final lap, where Alonso won the race. After the race, the network was bombarded with complaints.


 * In 2006, pan-European sports channel Eurosport joined the Champ Car race in Milwaukee in progress (with ⅔ of the race already being over) and cut to commercials with 2 minutes left on the clock (it had been turned into a timed event). When they returned, the celebrating crew of race winner Sébastien Bourdais could be seen.


 * Also, on July 30, 2006, ABC went off the air while the Indy Racing League's Firestone Indy 400 in Brooklyn, Michigan was delayed by rain. The race (which featured Danica Patrick's tantrum), was not shown live in the Eastern, Central and Mountain time zones. Open-wheel fans were furious and flooded the network's offices and messageboards. (The race was shown taped on ESPN2 that night.) This is one of many times that ABC has cut away from an open-wheel racing event for other programming. Other notables include 1996 at Las Vegas and 2003 at Pikes Peak in the IRL, and 1999 at Road America in CART (now Champ Car).


 * On August 24, 2007, the final five laps of the NASCAR Busch Series race, the Food City 250 at Bristol Motor Speedway, were not televised by ESPN2. The reason was that a satellite uplink path was somehow eliminated, preventing the master control at the network headquarters (ironically in Bristol, Connecticut; the track is in Bristol, Tennessee) from re-transmitting the event to cable and satellite providers.  By the time the problem was rectified, the race was over, with Kasey Kahne as the winner.  Dr. Jerry Punch, the lap-by-lap announcer, apologized for the error immediately and the final two laps were shown on replay unedited.  In addition, the first rebroadcast showed the same laps as they were intended to be broadcast - with on-screen ticker and GEICO sponsorship bug - just after 4:30 am ET the next morning.  An ESPN spokesman blamed a "human error" of unspecified nature.


 * On April 12, 2008, the baseball game between the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox went in to a rain delay, which cause Fox to cut back to the Fox Sports studios in Los Angeles, CA to do an exteneded Game Break for that game, and then went to NASCAR Coverage a little early to fill the time while the game was under rain delay with Boston leading 4-3 in the rain delay. then when the rain delay ended, during the time the NASCAR Pre-Race show was goning to be on, the game resumed, but the 9th ending aired on both Fox and FX, which then when the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Subway Fresh Fit 500 at Phoenix International Raceway started, FOX cut the game away right as the racecars were entering Turn 4 to start the race.


 * Looks like all of them are gone now. Maybe you can bring a few of the more similar such moments (e.g. Nolan Ryan's fifth no hitter not on air in Buffalo, Kobe Bryant's game-winning shot missed in Palm Springs) to the page. - Desmond Hobson (talk) 20:56, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

i'm adding last nights MLB game between the Yakees and the Red Sox, and the NASCAR Race in the list.--Boutitbenza 69 9 (talk) 04:28, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Who was unable to see the end of the match by TV
Hello: Last 29th of July of 2008 it was added that fans outside of the Pacific Time Zone were unable to see the end of the match. I've been searching in the web but haven't found anything that talks about it. I'm not from the USA and don't know what the policy was those years for what time to broadcast live (e.g. this football match) and recorded (e.g. this film about Heidi) programs in the different regions of the country with different times. Were all the TV viewers of the whole USA unable to see the end of the match or only those ones outside the PTZ? The difference is very big and should be clarified. Thanks, --Edupedro (talk) 23:30, 24 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I agree. The introductory paragraphs need clarified. As currently written, "the NBC television network terminated the broadcast in the Eastern and Central time zones with 65 seconds left to play in the game..." and "As a result, no fan following the game on TV was able to see Oakland's comeback live." These two statements seem at odds with each other. Either Pacific and Mountain could still see the end of the game -or- all time zones were affected and "no fan" could see the end.

Re: announcers
While Curt Gowdy was normally teamed with Kyle Rote on NBC's AFL telecasts in 1968, for this particular game the color commentator was Al DeRogatis, as evidenced by Gowdy's comments at the end of this snippet of the NBC broadcast that day:

Explanation of Buick correction I made
The since the game section cited the 2004 Buick Open incident. ABC did cut away from a PGA Tour event while it was in progress that year, but it wasn't the Buick Open but the Buick Classic which was won by Sergio Garcia after a three-way playoff.

I know why this mistake was made. Namely because a USA Today writer declared the tournament as the Buick Open just days later in a article he wrote. At least one golf writer has fallen into the same trap. How am I sure I'm right and they are wrong? Two reasons-

The 2004 Buick Open didn't go to a three-way playoff. It was won by Vijay Singh in 72 holes.

But better than that

The dates for the Buick Classic not the Buick Open match when the incident took place.

Sloppy reporting, partly caused by the fact Buick at the time sponsored 3 PGA Tournaments, caused this confusion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by WilliamJE (talk • contribs) 22:45, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

"Similar incidents"
I've removed the entire section as non-notable trivia, as it has had a Trim tag for several months, and per WP:NOT. Most of thses are recent events, some only invloving one affialiate or a local game/market, and most were unsourced. None of these appear to even have their own article, menaing none have the notability of this event. Perhaps the relatively-more notable ones could be placed in a new article, assuming they have sources verifying the events, and attesting to their notability in some way. - BilCat (talk) 20:27, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Misconception about the game
I am certain I've read a few references that state - erroneously, of course - that this incident occurred during that year's Super Bowl game. I can't track down any at this moment but I am mentioning it here in case someone case can back this up with a source. 68.146.81.123 (talk) 19:13, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Do we want to mention that the Jets did not win in Oakland as the Jets until 2002?
Here's a new source. We could mention that for the first 39 years of their existence under that name, the Jets did not win in Oakland (until January 2002).--Wehwalt (talk) 12:42, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Perhaps we should, it does speak volumes about the environment they have been constantly forced to play in (no wonder the Raiders lead the series 20-15-2, at least NY is catching up). It's a consipracy theory, I tell you! -- The Writer 2.0 Talk 12:54, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I've ordered a copy of the NFL Record and Fact book which I used go buy religiously each year but haven't in a few. It contains stuff like standings, playoff formats and tiebreakers, etc that are tedious to source from newspaper articles and whatnot. It includes series records between teams. Note that the Jets beat the Raiders in LA in the playoffs in '83, so part of it is the Raiders' fault for not standing still long enough.--Wehwalt (talk) 12:59, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

 * I'm glad we wrapped up the article before Sunday. Not as enthusiastic now!  I got the book and on perusing the Jets pages (of course) I find that Maynard's 228 yards receiving in the Heidi Game remains a Jets record (Oakland has no single game records set in that game, I checked).  I seem to recall that Maynard was guarded ineffectively by a rookie and burned the Raiders all afternoon.  Worth a mention in the football section?--Wehwalt (talk) 11:55, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
 * We could add in the bit about Maynard but I don't want the article to sound too Jetsie (Yes, that is now a new word) either. -- The Writer 2.0 Talk 18:58, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

"...which blew a fuse 26 times in an hour..."
Is there a source for the claim that excessive calls cause fuses to blow? That would be quite unusual behavior. --76.242.89.122 (talk) 16:12, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes. Let me start by explaining that it is not considered necessary to put footnotes after each sentence, if the whole paragraph (or a contiguous part of it) is to the same source.  You just put a footnote at the end of the material from that source and page number(s).  In this case it was from Davis's book Rozelle:  Czar of the NFL, page 323, the exact quote is "NBC's old fashioned switchboard crashed, and so did the company's exchange, CIrcle-7.  'The whole exchange blew', Cline said.  "They would put in a new fuse, and it would blow, and so on.  They blew 26 fuses in an hour!' ".  I am not a huge fan of using information from direct quotes, but Cline's statement was backed up by other sources.  Hope you liked ht earticle, The Writer 2.0 and I did a lot of work on it.--Wehwalt (talk) 19:50, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

Recent edits
¶ I am very annoyed that the notes I have added mentioning the Heidi movie itself have been repeatedly deleted. I believe that certain facts about the movie are significant in the telling of this story - for example that it was the acting debut of Julie Andrews's stepdaughter, Jennifer Edwards. Sussmanbern (talk) 18:59, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
 * But don't you see, this article's not about the movie, it's about the game and the meltdown that happened because of bad planning and Sixties technology. The reader is not here to learn about the film or the people in it, and has a link to take him there.--Wehwalt (talk) 19:02, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
 * You stated: "I believe that certain facts about the movie are significant in the telling of this story - for example that it was the acting debut of Julie Andrews's stepdaughter, Jennifer Edwards." That's all well and fine but last I recalled Jennifer Edwards didn't suit up for a football game either. If anything your edits would be best suited for her biography or the article about the movie itself but not here. This article recounts how a simple flip of a switch transformed TV contracts with the NFL not how Jennifer Edwards captivated America in her debut. -- The Writer 2.0 Talk 20:10, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

¶ I also thought the fact that NBC inserted a crawl over the Heidi film with the final score ... but not until more than an hour had elapsed ... was very significant. The elements of this historical event are not confined to the football game alone but also the movie that interrupted the broadcast. Sussmanbern (talk) 21:39, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
 * They may not be confined to a football game but as I stated previously Jennifer Edwards also never put on a football jersey and therefore her debut is immaterial to the outcome of the game. -- The Writer 2.0 Talk 22:19, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

¶ While I'm at it, there's a short video on YouTube (and other sites) purporting to show what was broadcast - the ball flying in the air and before it touches down a view of Heidi walking with her grandfather. This video is, in fact, from a re-creation done for a TV show some years after the event. In actuality there was a station break, then the peacock logo for NBC, and then the beginning of the movie. When the recreation was being worked up they could not get legal permission to use any of the Timex "Heidi" so they opted for a glimpse from the middle of a different production of Heidi with different actors, which had been originally done as a Disney miniseries. Sussmanbern (talk) 22:37, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Regarding the final score crawl: I've never seen the movie but I don't think it was an hour in, about a half hour. The youtube is plainly wrong, the viewer would have seen the station break, ten seconds, then something that lasted 30 seconds (a commercial?) and then the start of Heidi.  There is a lot of wrong info on the Heidi game floating around, mostly due to loose and carelessly researched news articles.  I went to Canton to research this, and they only have limited materials.  It was before the era where everything was kept.--Wehwalt (talk) 14:39, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

Inasmuch as the stories are explicit that the crawl score was shown at the very moment the movie has Klara falling out of her wheelchair, it should be easy (if anyone can see the Timex movie) to figure out how belated it was.Sussmanbern (talk) 15:41, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

Error in quote?
In the "Game telecast" section, the block quotation by Steven Travers includes the following sentence: "In the days before [...] 700 channels – what the choices came down to what NBC, ABC, CBS, and maybe a handful of local stations wanted to show the public, TV viewers scheduled their days around events like Heidi." This would make much more sense with a "when" instead of the first "what" (immediately following the en-dash). Could someone with access to the source please check whether there was a copying error?

Why the match overran
This article is written a bit too much for people who are familiar with American Football and so isn't so accessible to people reading for the broadcast history who have no understanding of the game. In particular it's not at all clear exactly why the match overran so badly (stoppage time?) or why the scheduling doesn't seem to have accommodated the potential for this. Wouldn't the half-time and some post match analysis have absorbed this? Timrollpickering 19:45, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
 * There is no provision to shorten half-time because the game was running long. They hoped to have some post-game analysis, but due to many scoring plays (which stopped the clock), injuries, planned commercials, and other delays, the game ran long. This is not a basic American football article, it does require some knowledge of the rules and practices. I don't think it would be worth explaining that the clock does not run continuously as it  does in association football.--Wehwalt (talk) 04:04, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

What about kids and adults who don't like football?
There is no coverage of those who don't like football, or of kids and adults who may have been waiting to watch Heidi. I for one have tuned in many times to see a movie or TV show, only to be disappointed to find a game of a sport I don't like has run long. (This was especially annoying in the days of VCRs, where the ending would be cut off.) Usually, the program is shown in its entirety afterwards, but not always. So, were there any recorded reactions from viewers who didn't care about the game, and were happy that the movie started on time? - BilCat (talk) 22:04, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

No radio broadcast?
The article does not mention any alternative live broadcast (i.e. radio) which would allow fans that missed the TV airing of the game to receive real-time info about its outcome. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 181.208.12.250 (talk) 21:53, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

Why is the only photo, and the only team logo shown, that of the losing team and its quarterback?
Even though this game featured one of the most exciting comebacks in Pro Football history, this article seems to focus on the losing New York Jets, rather than the winning Oakland Raiders. Although thetext of this article is even-handed, neither the Raider logo nor any Oakland players are shown anywhere. I feel the need to re-state that the Jets lost. Another page featuring a controversial game involving the Raiders shows a clear contrast. The Tuck Rule Game page shows neither team's logo, and the only photo shows players from both teams. This is even-handed, and what we've come to expect from Wikipedia. I see a subtle but very real bias in favor of the New York Jets on this page. Can we show the logo or players of the WINNING team? If necessary, I can furnish both.

&#34;I have altered the entry. Pray I don&#39;t alter it further.&#34; - Losel (talk) 18:42, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
 * It is a question of copyright. The Namath photo was printed in a publication in which the copyright has expired. I went through a lot of Jets and Raiders related material at the Pro Football Hall of Fame and that was all that was usable That and the program cover. That may show the Jets logo, but it is a Raiders program cover, and is illustrated because it is the program cover from that game. It was free of copyright because it is from before 1978 and did not carry a copyright notice (and I looked personally). As I recall, the other Raider home programs from 1968 illustrated other opponent helmets.
 * I looked at Tuck Rule Game and the only images it has are one of Foxboro Stadium and an image of the tackle in question with a very dubious fair use rationale. It's hard to get images of pro football games that are free of copyright or suitably licensed. I did look through programs from later in the season from both teams and they did not show any game images. Happy to have more images that are 1968 or previous and are free of copyright.--Wehwalt (talk) 22:00, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

How long would Heidi have been delayed?
Does anyone know how long it took them to play that final 1:01? If so, it would add a nice piece of information for this story. Mukogodo (talk) 21:32, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm not aware of an authoritative source on that. Clary said the game ended at 7:07 and so we used that, other sources, like the NYT were less specific ("about 7:10"). I don't have an exact time for how long it would have taken Gowdy to sign off.--Wehwalt (talk) 22:15, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

CBS Evening News on November 18, 1968 didn't mention the game
The article indicates that "on the CBS Evening News the following Monday night (November 18), Harry Reasoner announced the "result" of the game: "Heidi married the goat-herder".[24]" The reference is to be Kyle Garlett's 2009 book "What Were They Thinking?: The Brainless Blunders That Changed Sports". Yet, the November 18, 1968 CBS Evening News is available on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUdH0IJQAIg ). It was hosted by Walter Cronkite, and the game was never mentioned in the broadcast.

Heidi Game
It seems the chronological gist of breaking away from the game to air Heidi might be different depending on time zone.

I watched the actual game living just south of Kansas City in the central time zone. The station switched to Heidi shortly after 6 p.m. CST. Just after the Heidi credits were run and while Heidi was rolling down the hill, the station switched back to the game where it seemed all hell broke loose. We understood that the Raiders and not the Jets won the game. Then the station switched back to Heidi. 72.241.201.86 (talk) 03:56, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Interesting information. We can only include in the article what it says in published sources, or in archives such as the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but it's good to hear from people who actually watched the game. I was a little young to see it, I'm afraid.--Wehwalt (talk) 13:55, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

Please explain
Article says: "In subsequent television contracts, the merged NFL required language which obligated the networks to show games to completion in the road team's television market"

So in the home team's television market, they can switch away before the game is completed? Is that really the case? I know that when a network is showing two consectutive games, they do switch away from the first game to the second game in the home market of the second game. If that's what you mean, that's not what you're saying. 2600:4040:5D30:4800:91A8:97C7:2DA7:3FA7 (talk) 16:25, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

Mountain time zone was switched to Heidi also
I got Salt Lake TV at the time and didn’t see the end of the game. A friend who got Denver TV said they were also switched to Heidi at 5 PM MST. it is inaccurate to say that both the Pacific and Mountain time zones watched the game to its conclusion. 2605:59C8:51BA:6010:B933:CD45:D766:22E1 (talk) 21:00, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
