CBS Fires Producer Who Broke Into 'CSI'
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I know I was pissed about it! [img]smile.gif[/img]NEW YORK - CBS News has fired the producer responsible for breaking into "CSI: NY" last week for a special report on Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's death, a CBS executive said Monday, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The news report came during the last five minutes of the forensics mystery last Wednesday, prompting viewer complaints and leading CBS to repeat the show Friday.
The producer responsible ignored network policy to contact a senior executive before interrupting a regularly scheduled program for a news report, the source said.
Also, with Arafat reportedly near death for several days, CBS News had left explicit instructions for how to deal with that event: run a news "crawl" at the bottom of the screen and direct viewers to the next newscast for more information.
That's how CBS's competitors at ABC and NBC handled the news. The interruption came five minutes before local newscasts in eastern and central time zones.
CBS issued an apology to viewers the next day, blaming the "overly aggressive" producer for the interruption.

RIP ODB!
yeah, that was a brilliant move. most popular show on the network and they cut the ending to tell you that a guy who'd been as good as dead for a week finally kicked.
I had to laugh after getting pissed off about it as the timeing was too good.
They had just sat down across the table from the guilty person and said "We know you did it, and this is how....You went
We interrupt your show to bring you stale news"
Almost like the guy was there waiting for them to start the explanations just to hit the big red interrupt button.
I think i had to deal with the Elian gonzalez thing the first night of Dark Angels premier...i was furious!
