Title: This is weird
Post by: jwboyd on September 22, 2014, 10:44:06 AM
Wife and I watched the Seattle Seahawks beat the Denver Broncos last night. We watch the Broncos for two reasons—we like Peyton Manning and we have relatives in Colorado. We’re on Comcast cable and they carry the local (Indianapolis) CBS affiliated station.

I was watching in the living room and my wife was watching in the kitchen. The play-by-play audio commentary on my TV was in English, but hers came through in Spanish (except for the commercials, which were in English). Her TV has a “Language” setting, which was set to English. When the game went into overtime, the play-by-play was in English!

Can any TSer offer an explanation?

I'm suspecting that the change in language was probably due to human action/inaction at the network; an automated process that was set in some script that was changed when things went into overtime.  Could also be whatever she was using to watch on only saved the "choice" of language on the basis of the the programmed hour and going into a different schedule period changed that setting.  I wonder if she'd have tried setting to Spanish if it would have changed.
