The deal is officially announced on February 11, 2011, and takes effect on April 18. At that time, KSBW-DT2 rebrands itself as "Central Coast ABC".[180][181] |
| The premiere of Million Dollar Money Drop, based on the British game show The Million Pound Drop (now called The £100K Drop) which also premiered earlier on May the same year, faced backlash by viewers on an inconsistency on one of the questions ("Which of these was sold in stores first?") and the three possible answers include Macintosh computer, Sony Walkman, and Post-it Notes. Contestants Gabe Okoye and Brittany Mayti wagered and dropped $800,000 on Post-it Notes but the correct answer was revealed as Walkman. News article Gawker posted the controversial moment the day after broadcast leading FOX and the host, Kevin Pollak, to allow the couple to play the game with the question thrown out.[182][183][184] The controversy might have also led to the eventual cancellation on May the following year.[185][186][187] | |
