The CRAZIEST BROADCAST DISASTER in Super Bowl HISTORY | Super Bowl XIII
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 янв 2023
- At Super Bowl XIII between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Dallas Cowboys, just under 80 million people across the country tuned in to watch the Steelers defeat the Cowboys 35-31 and win their third title in franchise history. However, none of those people were located in the city of Lewiston, Idaho (pop. ~30,000). Because right before the game kicked off, a power outage rocked the city, and left everyone in the dark. This is the story behind the broadcasting disaster

This unofficial Official Jaguar Gator 9 historian will remind everyone you made a video about how CBS responded to a weather disaster before Super Bowl 12 the year before.
It's like at this point he makes videos just to plug past videos...lol
Broncos fans probably wish this happened in Colorado during Super Bowl 48
lol... probably
43-8 I love saying that to Broncos fans 🤣
i do
I was in Colorado then as was happy to see every moment!
Ironically, the weather for Super Bowl XLVIII in The Meadowlands was excellent with it being 49 degrees at kickoff, warmer than many of the traditional Super Bowl sites. Of course, the temps dropped right after the game with a snowstorm by the next morning.
I had something similar happen a few years ago during the Patriots-Falcons Super Bowl. A generator went out in the second quarter and about 4-5 towns/cities were completely blacked out. We (a few friends) were in a bar and never have I seen so many people getting out emergency chargers (ones with built in batteries or gears you wind), downloading Fox Sports app, and the bartenders start writing down a can tally to keep some calculations on tabs.
It came back on just before the Pats took the lead. The bar was trying to prevent people from leaving and skipping the bill. Generally everyone was well behaved and there was no snow and we had cell phones so no where near as bad as this.
Great video! I'm glad you were joking about the Lewiston people not being mad. As a diehard Steelers kid fan living in Chicago I would've been crushed had I missed THIS game of all games! Steelers 4ever, Cowgirls never!
Cowboys and Cowgirls (cheerleaders) FOREVER !!!!
Something very similar happened in East Central Illinois during the 1998 NFC championship game between the Falcons and Vikings. WCCU 27 fox affiliate was out all day. I remember trying and trying to call the station, but getting a busy signal each time. Cable or antenna, we couldn't watch. A buddy of mine had "that new" satellite system called Directv, and since they couldn't broadcast local stations at that time, they would broadcast the national feeds of network programming. So quite a few of us ran over to his house and caught the second half. Would love to see you do a video on that, if you could find any info on it

Let's see...something going wrong with a TV station in the late 1970s? Gotta be NBC!

Super Bowl 13 here on Friday the 13th.
The bookmakers got "middled."
The game opened at PITT minus 3.5 and ended up at 6.
People who bet PITT early and on DAL late won both bets.
A "Super Bowl Gambling Memory" to be sure.
@@WaltGekko LMAO!
There was no "clear channel" AM station they could hear it on? WJR here in Detroit (at night) can be heard halfway across the country. I'm surprised there wasn't another station on TV or AM it could have been heard/viewed.
When the TV station went out, fans are listening to the Super Bowl on a battery powered portable radio for emergencies to hear the rest of the game including the play-by-play, and the whole sha-bang.
Excellent Video. I remember this game very well. Dallas was down 35-17 then scored late to at least cut to 4 and have an on sides kick. I believe this was the last Super Bowl broadcasted by Curt Gowdy, ( I never spelled his name correctly) and the last time the game was played at 4pm. You did a video on Super Bowl 12 when CBS pushed the game back to 6pm. Also the Orange Bowl hosted this game for the 5th time in 13 years
Curt Gowdy.
Spelling issues aside, you’ve earned yourself a Cognac!
Actually, Super Bowl XVIII (January 1984) was a 4:40 PM kickoff, the last time the Super Bowl would kick before 5:00. The last Super Bowl to kick before 6:00 PM was Super Bowl XXIII in January 1989. Every Super Bowl since has kicked after 6:00 PM ET.
Exactly! They should have been able to pick it up on a 50000 watt station
9:27 I always love moments like this
Honestly I am a little surprised they didn't re-air it locally. I'd figure with the uproar and everything that the network would try to re-air it for the town
Here's my question: why in the world would the program director and/or the operations manager of that radio station make the decision to air the Super Bowl knowing there's at least a 50-50 chance of the game not ending before they are legally required to sign-off for the broadcast day? As a former program director of a radio station, I would have never made that decision on a local level. If there's a chance you have to dump out before the game is over, you go with alternate programming. CBS Radio had the rights to the Super Bowl that year, so we can assume this was a CBS Radio affiliate station. I hope that the decision to air it was one that was made by New York and the station had no choice.
I never even heard of daylight only stations before this.
@@johnmanier7968 They definitely exist and in fact, the first all talk sports radio station in Chicago had to sign off at night when they started.
@jaguargator9 hope you will provide more superbowl related content tied to media and commercial issues like the shoe factory video. Lol
Ok....number one Lewiston ID is down in a valley. About 745 ft above sea level. Right before you come to it, on the north side of town, there is a canyon cliff (Lewiston Hill). You have to drive up that hill to get to Pullman on US 95 and it is called Lewiston grade. The top of that hill is 2700 ft above sea level making the drop 2000 ft from top to bottom. Lewiston RARELY gets that kind of winter weather. So it is Clearwater's fault. Second KLEW is NOT a NBC affiliate, it has always been a CBS affiliate. Since they are the only station in town, they would show special programming (like the Super Bowl) from other networks. (Fun fact - KLEW was once owned by Walt Disney's wife.)
Thanks for the heads up
Great game, I would've been besides myself!!!
Right before Super Bowl XIX right before kickoff our cable went out. Thankfully we still had our old aerial hook up and we were able to watch the game save for about 15 minutes of the beginning.
So many great stories
Your thumbnail indicates that NBC was of the Proud N logo when they showed Super Bowl XIII, yet that is not entirely true-- while they did adopt their then-new Proud N logo in 1979, that was later in that year; their logo on this Super Bowl XIII broadcast was the red and blue Trapezoidal N, since this was in Jan. 1979.
How I cackled at “this is the day the Lord has made.” You had me going before that. There was, however, a dispute at the time over whether Super Bowl XIII was really better than X. NFL Films immediately declared X “the best ever,” but it was a low bar. XIII was 35-17 for a few minutes, but was very close most of the time, and I would give it a slight edge over X-but it’s close and many disagree.
If you had a good a.m. receiver or short wave there is a good chance you could have picked up the radio broadcast on a more distant station especially after dark when signals travel farther
Sucks to get cold. I live in Montana, so I get it. I would've been livid, because I'm a Cowboy fan. But, I wouldn't threaten a lynching... What?
Indeed-- the victim of that attempted lynching didn't shut the game off himself; the power shut it off, so for these fans to act like he shut it off is utterly inexcusable.
The Cowboys had a dropped touchdown pass which cost them the game.
The backup to the backup was broken? I feel awful for the NFL fans who lived in Lewiston back then. They missed a hell of a Super Bowl through no fault of their own.
When i was a baby i once made a phone call to Nickelodeon when it was out once.
Did Clarissa Darling explain the problem to you?
@@donaldpaluga underrated response of all time!
@@donaldpaluga sweet reference and nostalgia hit
Idaho Seahawks fan here. Hope the Jaguars do well tomorrow
I’m curious to know how you found out about this incident. Did someone from the area let you know, or did you come across it some other way?
Same way I find most of my stories- just digging through random newspaper archives and seeing if something sticks and catches my eye. The research process can sometimes take a while to find one, but once I found this one, I knew I had to talk about it
@@OfficialJaguarGator9 Your research and knowledge of the NFL is quite impressive.
@@OfficialJaguarGator9 you should see if you can find something about the 98 NFC championship game between the Falcons and Vikings not being shown in East Central Illinois because our local Fox affiliate WCCU 27 was out all day. I can't remember if we ever got a reason
Seriously!! Some of these factoids seem like they have been buried in history but somehow he seems to find out about them. Sure wish I had the ability to dig some of these facts up!!
Good content as always. Still waiting for you to work on your audio - need to minimize the booms in your voice.
Did it effect clarkston as well?
Don Weiss ran the Super Bowl for the NFL that year. He said George Halas wanted to get out of the car before the coin toss. Weiss knew that would cause a significant delay, as Halas was 83 and not getting around that well. Weiss got on his walkie-talkie and yelled at Halas to stay in the car.
A star-studded Super Bowl
oh hell yes it was!! All those hall of famers in their prime!!
As someone who’s seen (almost) every Superbowl Superbowl 10 is the first one I would classify as good. The Steel curtain was something else. For context I’m in my mid 20s. The first SB I watched live was Colts/Bears. The only only interesting things about the early SBs are the weird stuff, like they originally had 2 distinctly different footballs depending on what team was on offense, the goal posts being in the wrong place, and the amount of things that would draw a flag in today’s game. My goodness the horse collar tackles are everywhere.
Wait for it from 9:25 to 9:53.
Nice Psalm 118:24 reference.
This is very similar to what happened in 1990 with the World Cup Final between Germany & Argentina in Prince George & all of northern British Columbia. Unlike in the US where the World Cup was only available on cable via TNT (yes TNT did cover the World Cup in 1990 in one of the worst covered World Cups in US history, mainly because they inserted commercials in the middle of the game) the World Cup was on over the air CBC in Canada. For the majority of Canada there were no issues with the broadcast. However in northern BC & Prince George just before the match kicked off at noon, the power went out due to rolling blackouts. This was because the BC Power Authority (now Hydro BC) had a policy at the time stating if the temperature went above 80 degrees, rolling blackouts would occur in order not to over-strain the power grid. The temperature at the time was 81 degrees & was expected to reach 84 as the high so the earliest the power could come back on was at 6:00 well after the match concluded. Because of this, people had to drive down to Williams Lake 146 miles away if they wanted to watch the match. However unlike this Super Bowl, the people of Prince George & northern BC did not miss much from that year's World Cup Final as it was easily the worst World Cup Final of all time as the match became a foul filled affair & Germany won 1-0 on a penalty kick late in the match.
Now the CBC has shut down its outlying transmitters due to budget cuts, so Canadians outside the major cities need cable or satellite to watch CBC.

What happens if a local TV Station switched Networks a month before they were going to show the Super Bowl this happens in 2008-09 in Beaumont,Texas NBC Station
The SB would be shown on whatever the new network station is. Happened in Indianapolis when our local channel 4 and channel 8 switched networks on January 1, from the CW to CBS respectively. The brand new CBS (channel 4) showed all the Colts playoff games even though channel 8 (previous CBS) showed the Colts regular season games
5:25: The Hall of Fame voters in 1994 most have NEVER seen Super Bowl 13. How is Jackie Smith in the Hall of Fame???
Jackie Smith was a great player. Unfortunately now only remembered for the drop in SBXIII
Jackie Smith played for a decade and a half and was arguably the best tight end of his era.
The sickest man in America.
Do you have any more context as to why the government mandated the Pullman radio station be “sunlight hours only”?
What would have happened if they stayed on? Fines, firings, station being taken over by Agent Smith? It sounds like the plot to a movie staring Bill Pullman.
They could have made the decision to stay on. Maybe risk losing their FCC license but maybe no one would notice and they would get away with it especially on a super Sunday. The reason some stations are daylight only is . Radio signals travel farther at night and could interfere with another station on the same channel either in the US or elsewhere
Federal communications commission governs radio transmissions in the US
With tons of big plays by both teams, not sure why you show the same ones over and over
What's a "Suu bowl?"
I'm surprised this hasn't happened more often. Wouldn't be surprised if in the future we have an incident where the local weatherman breaks into Super Bowl coverage to report on a severe weather event which I believe happened in at least one TV market during the 2014 World Cup Final.
That's actually happened quite a few times, at least in regular season games, as far as breaking inclement weather goes. Not sure if it's ever happened during the SB, but the NFL allows local stations to break in for emergency updates.
It was a tornado warning in Western New York that interrupted the ending of the 2014 World Cup.
When showing the highlights why in the fudge do you show the Steelers doing great & the Cowboys not? You made Dallas Cowboys Hall of Famers look inept. They had great moments in the game. The Steelers weren't exactly flawless the entire game either. I am PISSED!!!😡😡😡
Bradshaw was actually having a bad game up until late third quarter. Even though he threw a couple touchdown passes, he had an interception and two fumbles, one for a touchdown return, but he did end up winning MVP.
This is so weird I never knew this and my mother grew up there in the 70s and 80s
Im not a chargers fan but the run before the field goal . Ouch the missed holding call
It happened to Los Angeles in 2014. During the 2nd Quarter of the Super Bowl between Seattle and Denver, Time Warner Cable dropped its standard definition TV channel connections, including the SB in SD, to all SoCal subscribers. By the time TWC restored service during the 2nd half, Seattle had already put away the win. Those customers watching on an HD channel never experienced a problem.
It also happened during Game 1 of the Lakers-76ers NBA Finals in 2001.
Super Bowl V was won on a late FG although it apparently wasn't a well played game otherwise
The game was so bad, that a member of the losing team won MVP of the game. Bad playing and bad officiating both.

In case anyone was wondering about the operator of the transmitter, that’s not a typo: TelePrompTer was a major player in broadcasting in 1979, as they were one of the biggest cable companies around, and even owned a major animation studio (Filmation).
WNBC-TV (channel 4) in NYC did carried “Super Bowl 13” and no problems at all.
New York City, Lewiston, Idaho. Yeah, similar cities.
Who cares what the government says?? They should have kept the station on.
The government issues the broadcast license.
Psalm 118:24 is how I am living every day
I went ahead and stopped the video at 9:41. Glad to see the happy, peaceful ending. I Assume the other 7 minutes is just buffer that accidentally didn't get edited out of the upload....
Don't let this video distract you from that the Super Bowl should be played in the Kibbie Dome
I’d like to see a video about Peyton Hillis
Even worse, there's an area in Wisconsin that can't watch Packer games because they fall in the Minneapolis viewing area. More NFL stupidity.
I rate SB 10 higher. Great start by the offenses and then a compelling battle of defensive wills.
Some Packer fans in Wisconsin go to a bar every week because they are considered in the Minneapolis viewing area.
Wait, SERIOUSLY?! There's actually stations in Wisconsin that will broadcast a Vikings game instead of a Packers game?!
@@tylerlarsen1842 Actually those areas get TV from Minneapolis, or Duluth which is on the border.
@gregsells8549 That's correct. Some people in WI are stuck watching Vikings games. It really sucks, but they just go to a local bar and enjoy time with fellow Packer fans.
I live in Northwestern Iowa, and we have all of the major networks, but because we're considered Viking viewing area, we have to go to a bar sometimes to watch a Packer game. Dumb - the NFL decides that most people are Vikings fans, which they aren't.
Blaming God. That is a bald strategy, let's see if that works for them Cotton.
As someone who works in the cable industry - I knew full well the people weren't going to be understanding. I get screamed at any time a channel has a technical problem, even though (as someone who works for the cable company) we can't do ANYTHING if we're not getting a feed from the network. People will literally call and say things like, "This is the only channel I watch!"
Well lady - you get over 400 channels. Find something else.
Do you also bear the brunt of it when a local channel gets dropped during contract negotiations? I imagine both sides catch hell when that happens.
