Kudos to WRGB during snowstorm

[bruces]

I didn't watch all the CBS prime time programming last night during the heavy snowstorm, but at least during Criminal Minds and CSI-NY WRBG seemed to only be showing the school closings during the commercials.

Since they only seem to have this ability in a SD format, in the past, whenever they wanted to show them, the HD broadcast was lost as they switched to SD and they usually showed them during the show and not during the commercials.

Do you suppose that the advertisers have decided that DVR users are much less likely to skip over the commercials when there is information that the viewers are interested in being shown on the screen at the same time.
