An NBC affiliate in Dallas apologized for waiting to interrupt Sunday's broadcast of the Dallas Cowboys' 37-10 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles to inform viewers of a tornado warning for the area.
KXAS-TV issued a statement Monday on the matter:
"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. ...
"When it comes to dealing with severe weather, we know that seconds matter. We should have broken into football programming sooner.
