FSN Southwest's press release:
GALENA PARK NORTH SHORE-SOUTHLAKE CARROLL
TELECAST CANCELLED DUE TO PROGRAM CONFLICTS
FSN Southwest announced today that it has cancelled next week's Dodge High School Football Game of the Week regional telecast featuring Galena Park North Shore and Southlake Carroll due to program conflicts related to Hurricane Ike.
FSN Southwest had planned to show the Galena Park North Shore-Southlake Carroll game scheduled on Saturday, Sept. 27 at 6:00 PM CT and move its Big 12 Conference football game that day from 6:00 PM CT to 2:30 PM CT. However, ABC this week utilized its exclusive 2:30 PM CT Big 12 telecast window on Sept. 27 for the re-scheduled Arkansas-Texas game postponed by Hurricane Ike preventing FSN Southwest from following through with its plans. FSN Southwest will show TCU-Oklahoma at 6:00 PM CT. Southlake Carroll officials could not move the high school game from 6:00 PM CT to 2:30 PM CT, which would have allowed it to be televised on FSN Southwest.
"We're disappointed that we have to cancel such an attractive matchup featuring two of the strongest high school teams not only in Texas but nationwide," said FSN Southwest Senior Vice President/General Manager Jon Heidtke. "Circumstances beyond our control forced this unfortunate decision."
FSN Southwest will look to replace the game with another matchup later in the season.
