Colorado Viewers Miss Six Minutes Of AFC Title Game, Learn About Santa

Somehow this flew under the radar all week, but it turns out Broncos fans in Colorado Springs missed much of the first quarter during Sunday's AFC Championship game due to technical difficulties on KKTV—during which Tom Brady was frozen on their screens for nearly six minutes. Even stranger, the CBS affiliate's attempts to alert viewers to those difficulties resulted in an onscreen crawl about Santa and his elves. Here's some video:

KKTV didn't manage to get the proper crawl about "problems with its signal" up for nearly five minutes, then ran it unnecessarily over the working video for another two. Hey, TV is hard. [KKTV]
