So how does this compare to previous years T.V. coverage?
It's pretty much exactly the same as the past several years. Once again no coverage from Colorado Springs. Must be a NORAD thing? TV signals can't leave that shitberg?
Thanks for the GCI update, your work is to figure it out does not go unnoticed
