WTF! During Steelers vs Jets game in middle of the play they cut away to say that local reporter has interview w/Trump [View all]

I'm in the Pittsburgh area and was watching the Steelers vs Jets game. It's near the end of the game and Steelers are up 15pts and only ~2:30 minutes leftin the 4th quarter. Steelers are "milking the clock", however, during the middle of the play they (broadcast) immediately cut to a split screen and talks are how the local reporter from the NBC affiliate (WPXI) was able to talk/interview Trump during his last rally.
If you don't know sports broadcast, this stuff does not happen. You don't cut into the game and in the middle of a play no less to hock anything, let alone Trump. It almost looked like a Trump ad. This pissed me off even though the Steelers are going to win.
