It\u2019s not unusual for sports fans to get bent a bit out of shape when real-world news preempts live coverage of a major sporting event.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Viewers of Memphis CBS affiliate WREG who had tuned in to watch Florida play Auburn in the Final Four on Saturday found themselves in that very situation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With tornadoes threatening that area, tornado warnings continued to pop up on the station and even cut into the audio during the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That didn\u2019t leave some fans too happy, but WREG chief meteorologist Tyler Eliasen didn\u2019t want to hear the complaints and issued a scathing statement according to Geoff Calkins of The Daily Memphian.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want to hear one more comment about why we\u2019re covering up the volume of the game,\u201d Eliasen said on the live broadcast. \u201cYou can see the game. You\u2019re going to have to deal with my voice and then just deal with it again because we lost several people. Several people died Wednesday night and potentially this is saving someone\u2019s life in Dumas right now. <\/p>\n
These Memphis meteorologists were caught in a bad spot tonight, with the Final Four ongoing. They kept their audio going, while muting the game, which drove viewers nuts. \ud83c\udfa5 WREG pic.twitter.com\/kE5hyf8Xc5\u2014 Trey Wallace (@TreyWallace_) April 6, 2025<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is still not in that path, not there yet, I should say, but it is a significant tornado, a confirmed tornado and it was very violent going into New Albany, Mississippi. So we\u2019re going to track this. It is what it is. Send me some emails later and we can chat more but this is what it is right now. Deal with it.\u201d<\/p>\n
It isn\u2019t the first time that tornado warnings specifically have angered viewers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In 2019, during the NBA Finals, fans felt the wrath of a Virginia ABC-affiliate WSET weatherman who was unapologetic over his station\u2019s coverage of tornado warnings during Game 7.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fox 45\u2019s Jamie Simpson also went viral that same year for going off on fans of the show \u201cThe Bachelor\u201d after tornado coverage in Dayton, Ohio interrupted their viewing experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
