Local TV news apps crash

I have several TV station news apps for cities I have interest in, and suddenly today they won't launch- they all crash with an error ""The application 10News (process com.lsn.localnews34) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." The application name varies according to the station/city and the number following "localnews" varies as well, but they all have this same issue.

I have tried to reinstall to no avail. I received updates to Skype, Tweetdeck, Lookout Mobile Services, Facebook Friend Checker, and Quake Alert! this morning, so perhaps something there mucked up something. I went to the LSN website (the company that makes these apps) and there is no link for support.

Any ideas?

Weird, I just tried my local news app in Memphis and it is giving me the same error. I wonder if all the news networks use the same server or something since I didn't update any of the programs that you did.

Sounds like they are being blocked.

Perhaps it was a server error on their side, because they are now working for me. I noticed after I posted that a couple of them worked, but three others did not.

Dallas: Even though this seems resolved, I'm curious what makes you think they may have been blocked. I'm only a couple of months into Android, so if there was something you saw that may help me pick up on new things in the future, I'd enjoy picking up a bit more knowledge.

Thanks all!
