So, yesterday, July 28, 2007, the National Day of the American Cowboy, ESPN was supposed to broadcast a Dodge Extreme Bulls event (Pro Bull Riding for those of you in Chicago) that was taped here in Cody on June 30 as a kick-off to the annual Cody Stampede. Sounds great on TV listings right? Somewhere, the wrong switch must have been flipped, cause my dad, a Cody resident, got gipped:
Was wondering why the Cody, Wyoming Extreme Bulls event was not broadcast as scheduled 7-28-07. My dad said he was going to watch it while taking a break from the add-on storage unit he is building. The TV listing said Extreme Bulls was slated to be on; the info said it was the Cody event; when he selected it, he got Pan-Am games in Spanish of all languages! There was a lot of promotion about the event being broadcast, so this comes as a major let-down to the Cody area.
This event was won by a local, so it’s only natural that the people would like to see it, especially if they were unable to make it to the June event. Probably safe to say others experienced the same problem. Is this just a Cody Dish Network subscriber issue, or were others (locally or nationally) wondering why things didn’t line up quite right? Would be interested to hear from you.
