CBS bottom ticker showing school closings during AFC Championship Game makes fans mad

1 hour ago 3

People are mad. What's new?

In this case, during the CBS broadcast of the AFC Championship Game between the Denver Broncos and New England Patriots, it's for a hilarious reason: school closings.

CBS is showing the games across its local affiliates across the country, and with a snowstorm brewing in many places, schools are already announcing their closures for Monday.

Some of the channels have chosen to show those school closures across a bottom ticker during the game.

There are likely some happy kids out there that they don't have school tomorrow.

But people on social media aren't happy about it.

Can CBS remove the bottom clicker of school closures for the AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME???

Biggest game of the year and I don’t care if Horizon Science Academy is closed tomorrow or not #NEvsDEN #NFL

Maybe just watch the rest of the screen.

It's really not that big a deal.
