Thanks for sharing that ! wow after learning about the "Heidi game I for one am glad that in these modern days we have immediate ESPN highlights that would've afforded a thorough review of said game; however, the justification for interrupting the Raider's game paled in glaring comparison to the rational explaination by NBC for interupting the Kentucky game.
If North Korea had--just suppose---fueled icbms targeting at Seoul and cofirmed by our DoD that launch is imminent and it is now Finals with Zags v Heels and a critical block/charge discrepancy near game's end occurs where Gonzaga is leading by 1; however, all networks suddenly switch to the President just as whistles blow and all are breathless---we wouldn't mind right?

In DC/NVA, they would sound an annoying alarm to get your attention, and run the scroll across the bottom or top of the screen with picture-in-picture technology to show and tell you what's going on. The picture feed would continue.

I've even seen them switch and put your televised program in a smaller screen, but never wipe it out completely.

Similar to politics......five people will say they did good, five will say they did bad, and five won't care either way.

Yes, and this change has done more harm than good. This is one of my BIGGEST pet peeves. When Adam and I were growing up if we heard the words "Tornado Warning," EVERYONE reacted immediately and took all necessary precautions because it was understood that an actual tornado was in the area. Now, I hear the words "Tornado Warning" and I calmly go to the TV or smart phone and have to discern... Is this a real Tornado Warning or is this simply a flawed radar technology scare tactic could maybe develop into an actual tornado Tornado Warning. Truthfully, I've become numb to Tornado Warnings because there is rarely an actual tornado that accompanies them. I'm sure I'm not the only one and if so, that is dangerous.
