The network received some angry comments on Facebook from viewers about the timing, though some of the ire was directed at members of Congress.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No NFL divisional championship games &#8230; perfect timing &#8230; I bet members of congress are gonna watch it,&#8221; someone wrote on AFN Europe&#8217;s Facebook page.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I hope that they&#8217;re still running those great advertisements that made AFRTS the programming giant that it is. Otherwise, how would the troops know to shut off the lights when they leave a room? <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It wasn\u2019t immediately known Saturday why AFN went off the air completely. In October 2013, the last time the federal government shut down, AFN maintained news and some radio services.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>My son told me that they have satellite TV in many areas now, so, I&#8217;m not sure how the AFN shut down affects the troops overseas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stars &#038; Stripes reports that troops overseas have lost some of their programming on the Armed &hellip; <a title=\"AFN viewers victims of Schumer shutdown\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=77274\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">AFN viewers victims of Schumer shutdown<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":77275,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-77274","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-support-the-troops"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77274","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=77274"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77274\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/77275"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=77274"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=77274"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=77274"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
