====CBS introduces the "CBS Eye-lert"==== For the [[2007 NFL season|2007 season]], CBS announced the advent of "CBS Eye-lert",<ref>{{cite web|title=CBS Eye-lert to Tip Off Viewers to Overruns|url=http://www.mediaweek.com/mw/news/tvstations/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003614458|publisher=Mediaweek.com|access-date=April 18, 2012}}</ref> a service that allows viewers to be notified via e-mail and text message when the start time of a program will be delayed. The "Eye-lert" was eventually extended on-air to a banner graphic that appears during the prime time lineup within sports broadcasts and segments of delayed regularly scheduled evening programs. During Week 7 of the [[2008 NFL season|2008 season]], a power failure at [[Buffalo, New York|Buffalo]]'s [[Ralph Wilson Stadium]] caused problems leading to the regular broadcast team of Greg Gumbel and Dan Dierdorf being unable to call portions of the game (the [[2008 Buffalo Bills season|Buffalo Bills]] vs. the [[2008 San Diego Chargers season|San Diego Chargers]]). Video was still available, and so James Brown called portions of the game from the studio, with the rest of the [[List of NFL Today personalities|''NFL Today'' team]] providing color commentary.
