They preempted that for this?

How About NBC O&O KNTV San Jose they are a network O&O and sometimes pre-empt NBC Primetime in the summer months to air San Francisco Giants games produced by NBC'S Comcast Sports Net Bay Area. Or even KPIX as a CBS O&O where they air 49ers pre-season game's in August do they count as unusual pre-emptions when the O&O' do that.

I personally wouldnt count that. Minnesota Viking games are on FOX 9 for pre-season and WCCO 4 CBS for ESPN/NFL Net games and both are O&O

Well the First Super Bowl was Blacked out in Los Angeles back in 1967. Yes CBS and NBC were airing the Superbowl but KNXT and KNBC were not even allowed to air the Super Bowl because of Ticket reasons at LA Coliseum. back in 1967.

Actually it wasn't the ticket situation. In those days ALL home games of NFL teams were blacked out on the local TV stations and the NFL extended the blackout to the Super Bowl. Remember the 1st Super Bowl was played in front of a crowd of only 61K in the LA Memorial Coliseum which seated 90K so it wasn't the big event it later became.

Another great example was WDIV in 1987. as they had rights to the Detroit Tigers at the time, and a critical game (game 162) was also scheduled 3:00PM Sunday, and the AL East was still not decided between the Tigers and Toronto Blue Jays.

In fairness that was the 1st week of replacement players due to the 1987 NFL Players Strike so nobody knew wha the quality of play would be like.

Does anybody have records of what KNXT/KCBS2 and KNBC aired on the first Super Bowl? If they were not allowed to air their own network and yes its odd for an O&O to just pre-empt shows unless its a major emergency or other breaking news event.
 
And what a game it was! Playoff hockey at its best (unless you are a Stars fan).

Here in MST-land the hockey game proceeded the coverage of the Derby. Aren't both events broadcast live? And, if so, how could one pre-empt the other?

Oh, and there is yet another playoff hockey game following the "longest two minutes in sports".

Heads up for NHL fans in Louisville and Lexington: This afternoon's Blues-Stars Game 5 is bumped for local Kentucky Derby coverage on WAVE and WLEX. No other stations appear to be picking up the game.

Memphis didn't see Blues-Stars either; WMC was airing a funeral for a pastor who died this past week.

I'm sure Louisville and Lexington had more coverage than what was from the network

looking at the schedule Louisville's WAVE started local coverage at 7AM Eastern
 
Detroit...again. WDIV is shifting tonight's showing of King Kong (2005) (essentially an infomercial for a new ride at Universal Orlando) to WADL so it can air a Wheel of Fortune rerun and the Iraq War movie Home of the Brave. Appropriate though, since this is Memorial Day weekend.

Also, not a preemption of sorts, but a power outage at Roland Garros forced NBC to carry the French Open's world feed for part of the day today.

This wouldnt be considered inexplicable for obvious reasons but the Louisville Big 4 stations are carrying the Ali funeral today

WAVE 3 (NBC) feed is also being shown on Bounce across the nation (so their 3-2 sub also has it....since its Bounce)
WHAS ABC doesnt reflect it on zap2it but their website says they are showign it
WLKY CBS shifted programming to MeTV sub
WDRB FOX also carrying it

Meanwhile, Ali coverage has pushed the opening match of UEFA EURO 2016 from ESPN to ESPN2.
 
From Kam on the 506 Forums:

I live in the Houston market, and they are not showing the ESPN 30 for 30, Made in America on our local ABC affiliate. Instead, they are showing some local high school football all star game. Everyone I know is pissed. ABC13 KTRH is sending out generic tweets to everyone. But they will be showing it tomorrow at 2pm.

And from NYCsporty:

The call letters are actually KTRK, KTRH is the ID of a radio station there in Houston. I know ABC13 shows that annually every year at this time, but interesting of all affiliates to preempt that it's an O&O station.

The game Kam is referring to is the GHFCA All Star Bayou Bowl.

High school graduates get one more shot on the gridiron before suiting up at the next level. It's the 2016 GHFCA All Star Bayou Bowl, Saturday, June 11 at Rhodes Stadium in Katy!

It's Houston East vs Houston West in the annual classic that began in 2003.

The aforementioned O.J. Simpson documentary airs nationally at 8 p.m. Saturday on most ABC stations. However, in Houston it will be delayed until Sunday because Channel 13 is committed to air the Bayou Bowl high school all-star football game between teams from Texas and Louisiana.

And so, just as the slow-speed Bronco chase in 1994 prevented Houston viewers from watching full coverage of the NBA Finals between the Rockets and Knicks, high school football will delay this weekend's Simpson documentary. Weird.

Another one that really isnt inexplicable but this Wednesday (tomorrow) WFTC My29 Minneapolis is delaying the My Network programming for a MN United NASL soccer game. They have the contract to show all games. Usually NASL games are on Saturdays but this one is special night.

My programming is going to be shown from midnight-2AM. They dont want to mess with the L&O SVU episode at 9 or Simpsons and Anger Management that is on after ;)
(by the way..L&O CI is on at midnight normally and Cops reloaded is on at 1AM)

Hmmm, why won't CBS give back the time slots to the affiliates?

Because they dont want to?
So they can show paid programs all afternoon?
The last few weeks I've seen my local CBS, which is owned BY CBS, have paid programs Saturday afternoon for 2 hours until network programming comes on at say 2PM CDT.
