Source excerpt
Although our meteorologists were tracking thunderstorms across the area when the National Weather Service issued a Tornado Warning for Dallas County, we delayed breaking into programming for six minutes.
NBC-owned KXAS-TV Dallas conceded that it delayed providing emergency information about a tornado due to its coverage of the Dallas Cowboys game--the team topped the arch-rival Eagles in a conference match-up--and apologized for the miscue.
