CBS Atlanta will air Big Brother in it's entirety at 3 a.m. Friday.

Where I live, CW primetime will be preempted tomorrow for NO-STL, and NBC is out Saturday for GB-TEN.

What other shows will be bumped by football in your market?
 
In Los Angeles and San Diego, Big Brother is shifting to 10:05pm, while the other CBS prime-time shows will pre-empt the CBS overnight news show.
 
In Boston, from the opening of training camp until the end of the playoffs (or regular season, should they not make the playoffs), "Jeopardy" is pushed from 7:30 p.m. to sometime between 1:30 and 2 a.m. on WBZ Channel 4 for a Patriots magazine show.
 
In my market(Philadelphia), WPVI-TV(6 ABC) will air Eagles-Bears tomorrow night(Friday, Aug. 8th) instead of ABC's Friday shows(Shark Tank, What Would You Do?, and 20/20).

In my market, they'll bump Masters of Illusion, Who's Line Is It Anyway?, and Penn & Teller: Fool Us for the Falcons. That's nothing to be upset about. That's all that is affected. Some preseason games are the only NFL games carried by local stations instead of being on a network.

What gets me is how many people don't grasp the concept that if the local affiliate of a given network is pre-empting the network, then it's the local station doing the pre-empting. On Friday, the CW will not be pre-empting anything in Atlanta. WUPA will be.

Only the people on this board know the difference between "local" programming and "network" programming. Check out the ME-TV Facebook Page once in a while. Whenever a local station is pre-empting something the "network" is always getting blamed for it. I.E. ME-TV Philly pre-empts Batman on Saturday Nights for Public Affairs Programming. Or if the local station is having technical problems. I.E. about a month or two ago ME-TV New York (WZME Bridgeport/Seymour) was having a lot of problems and the network was getting blamed for it,.
 
Last night MY TV 9 (WCTX 59.1 New Haven) pre-empted The Best of Judge Judy at 6PM and replaced it with the same day repeat that normally airs at 7PM. At 7PM New England Patriots programming began. I don't know what time the game ended, but if it ended early enough a shortened version of their news would air until 11PM followed by the programming from MY NETWORK TV, pre-empting regular MY TV 9 programming.

It's the same when they air NY Yankees Games. (21 a year). After the game My Network TV programming airs 11PM-1AM. So if you like to watch TMZ, DISH Nation, and whatever airs 12AM-1AM you're out of luck.
 
WTIC-TV (FOX) channel 61 of Hartford will air the preseason game with Pittsburgh vs New York Giants on Saturday evening. WCCT-TV (CW) channel 20 of Waterbury will air New York Mets vs Philadelphia Phillies baseball (taken from Tribune sister WPIX-TV) at the same time.

But what shows are being pre-empted? That's what the thread is about. What shows are normally on those stations that won't be shown because they are pre-empted?
 
^Why did you not mention the programs FOX would provide in primetime this Saturday ("Brooklyn Nine-Nine" and "Gang Related")?
 
It has been my experience that when local stations pre-empt shows they show them later. But I see part of this is about networks showing games.

The Panthers are still on the CW affiliate even two years after they switched from Fox, so a Dean Cain magic series and "Whose Line Is it Anyway" are getting bumped. I forget what else is on. One of the "CSI" programs, "Hawaii Five-O" and "Blue Bloods" are getting bumped by the Panthers on a station in an adjacent market which is on my cable system and which I can receive with an antenna.

Same here for the Panthers but they may all be reruns. But Penn & Teller are quite entertaining. They sawed a woman in half and there was blood all over with body parts hanging out (that may be the episode that airs tonight). That's after some really good illusionists, at least one of which fooled them and gets to go to Vegas.

Mario, FOX changes its Saturday Night schedule so often I wasn't aware what was airing. Life was so much simpler when Saturday nights on FOX meant COPS and America's Most Wanted. Aside from an occasional baseball game or NASCAR race Saturday Night primetime on FOX never changed before.

If a show I really wanted to see got bumped, I'd catch it on OnDemand.
