They preempted that for this?
- Thread starter Stanislav
- Start date
If you're curious as to why...it ties down to playoff positioning in NFC, and the South divisional crown is at stake. As result, Fox decided to protect the Carolina-Atlanta for themselves, and slotted in the 4:25pm ET window (as is New Orleans-Tampa Bay). Also, since it's the final weekend of the regular season, both CBS and Fox have doubleheader coverage.

Im shocked that WCCO was showing a infomercial rather than the Patriots game at the start. I'd say it was a mix-up, because the home team rule didn't apply this week.
It wasn't cleft palate again, was it?
no. I wasnt home until 1:00 and was recording the game via KEYC Mankato but per posts on facebook it was a "hair commercial" which is probably one of those shampoo type ones
Is a game where nearly all the scores were field goals any good?
Not really, but unless the NFL is "sports entertainment" (like wrestling) rather than competitive sport, how was the network to know what kind of game it was going to be showing?
They must have been really confident it would be a good game.
They knew the game would mean something, and it did. I'm sure fans of both teams -- and other NFC playoff teams whose potential playoff opponents would be determined by the game's result -- were tuned in to the very end.
Now, an interesting question is this: What would have happened if the teams involved were the Giants and Cowboys or the Packers and Bears, teams with huge national followings? Would the move to 4:30 have been blocked and the prime-time slot utilized instead?
Tonight it's on WFSB the Merideth owned CBS station in Hartford instead of Inside Edition/Entertainment Tonight. (Both are listed on the on-screen the program guide).
It's all a bunch of crap if you ask me. It looks to me that this is crap from 3rd World Countries. And in my opinion until every single child in the USA doesn't have any health problems, people shouldn't be sending their money overseas to help those in 3rd world countries.
Entertainment Tonight is always on twice 7:30PM and 1:37AM, but Inside Edition never gets aired.
Didn't YOU get out of the Christmas spirit in a hurry!
These time buys can't be cheap. They must feel enough people will watch the infomercials -- a dubious premise, if you ask me -- that the money raised will pay for that major investment. What is the organization behind the infomercials and how much of the money donated goes to its executives and other insiders?
As long as they have Scot Haney and continue to name winter storms, I won't watch them (channel 3 CBS Hartford) when weather comes on. Just as bad as when Rachel Frank (channel 61 FOX Hartford) claims they don't hype the weather. Total B.S.! Don't get me started with the souped up weather vehicle used by channel 30 NBC of New Britain/Hartford!
I really don't know why they all felt the need to blow out programming all day to show us snow. It's not like we live in Florida and this is a rare event. And they gave the excuse about people needing to know about the weather as an excuse to blow out the afternoon lineup.
This happened in Seattle back in January 2012. When we had 5" of snow and freezing rain, KIRO stayed on the air from their 4:30am news until 7PM...nonstop! KING and KOMO also blew out most of their programming including soaps. I recall the only school district in western WA that was NOT closed (and this included universities...UW cancelled classes) was Ocean Beach School District in Long Beach, which had a 2-hour delay. In Seattle they treat freezing rain like the biggest news story since 9/11. Here in Yakima, you get to see your CBS daytime shows on KIMA even when freezing rain is falling.
Back when the ACC tournament finals were on both Raycom-Jefferson Pilot and NBC, I wonder if WYFF/4 was required to air the Raycom feed or could they take the NBC telecast instead with Dick Enberg? In 1991, when CBS had the ACC title game, WSPA/7 was required to air the Loyola Marymount-Princeton game, due to WYFF/4 having exclusive rights to the ACC title game(likely the reason that CBS didn't do the ACC title game after 91; since Raycom would have excuistvty in the ACC area, and had to have a second game for those cites.). A few years ago, this was eliminated; ESPN shows the game simultaneously with WMYA/40

I mentioned this on other threads that Hawaii TV stations had to pre-empt regular programming on Saturday to Cover the Alleged Missile threat. It was later revealed to be the Hawaii OES error. Hawaii Alert system was intended to be a drill.
