I know alot of you don't follow the NBA but does anyone know why KATV is showing infomercials instead of basketball. The Lakers are playing right now but it is not showing on KATV.

I saw someone on another board bitching about them showing a boring SEC blowout instead of the Lakers game. Probably were contracted to show the SEC game and then couldn't or chose not to switch to the Lakers. Probably not a great choice with a Little Rock kid starting for the Lakers.

It's probablly an all or nothing deal with the SEC package. Now why they couldn't switch to the NBA game once the other was over is a mystery to me.

This is the same bunch that does not show "Lost" on Wednesday nights because two SEC teams are playing (most of the time it ain't even the Hogs). They record "Lost" and show it at 12:30. When they record it in SD so the reboard cast is in SD not HD which really sucks.

Now, the nba game can be seen on channelsurfing.net. "Lost" can be streamed from ABC.com but I have all but quit watching anything on KATV.
