Turning Point USA Faces Hurdle Over Alternative Super Bowl Halftime Show Prematurely

The late Charlie Kirk's group organized a rival event to coincide with the Super Bowl halftime show.

Turning Point USA's alternative show faced a setback just before kickoff.

The conservative nonprofit planned to stream its own "All-American Halftime Show" for viewers not interested in Bad Bunny's performance during the official NFL break.

However, minutes before the game between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks on February 8, technical issues disrupted the rival broadcast.

Reason for the Counter-Programming

The decision to create a counter-programming event stemmed from backlash following the NFL's choice to feature Bad Bunny. Some Republican commentators criticized this decision.

Although halftime performers do not get paid for the show, the exposure can be highly beneficial.

Licensing Restrictions

Turning Point USA planned to stream its show celebrating 'faith, family, and freedom' on social media channels but faced licensing restrictions on one platform.

Due to the eleventh-hour update, viewers were directed to watch the show on the organization's YouTube channel instead.
