As an ABC affiliate, WLOS/13 has pretty much stayed pretty close to the network re sports, expect for ACC games.

They preempted that for this?
- Thread starter Stanislav
- Start date
It wasn't just the Carolinas CBS stations that passed on the NBA in the late 70s-WAGA did the same thing for movies, even if the Hawks were in a CBS regional telecast. so WATL/36 would carry the games.
I've probably posted this before as long as this thread is, but the 70's and 80's WMC NBC 5 in Memphis would come into Major League Baseball
late because of Memfus Rasslin', and if there was a doubleheader, they would preempt the second game for the syndicated country music shows they always carried on Saturday afternoons.
Although I think it was a dumb move for any local stations to preempt network sports in most cases, at least at that time it wasn't for infomercials.

Didn't WMC carry Cardinals games back then?
WDIV in Detroit did that too, because the Tigers games conflicted with the NBC games. When NBC got exclusivity in 84, that stopped.
so with this weekend coming up and no golf on CBS I see Minneapolis is going with the old reliable paid programs from 11-5 Saturday and 11-4 Sunday (4-5 is network programming)
KEYC Mankato at least has programming. Saturday is Bandwagon 11-noon, Blue Bloods 12-1, 1-3 various programs and from 3-5 is mothers day programming (looks like religious type programming). Sunday is E/I and some various syndicated programming then the repeat of the mothers day stuff

Yes but it was usually Sunday afternoons, and it probably pre-empted NBC sports a lot, but at least that made more sense than the pre-emptions of baseball on Saturdays.
Although I haven't looked yet, I expect WREG in Memphis to do infomercials as well
, and WBBJ 7.3 in Jackson will probably simulcast Me TV. Although I haven't looked yet, I expect WREG in Memphis to do infomercials as well
you are correct on both counts
well KEYC avoided a HUGE pre-emption
The Royal Wedding for....................................well, nothing
KEYC still goes off the air nightly at around 1am and doesnt come back on until 5am (5:30 weekends) and as of this past Sunday online guides still showed them off the air which would have made them the ONLY market not showing it. The only market that doesnt have a CBS classified in its market is Zanesville, OH which just has WHIZ NBC. But they (NBC) is showing it too (The Big 3 & PBS are showing it...FOX is not)
I see they fixed it and will be staying on the air overnight. Probably the last time they were on overnight was the last Royal Wedding
KEYC is filling from 1:07-3am with their syndicated shows like "Small Town Big Deal" and "Tapping In: The Happiest People & Places on the Planet" and KEYC-DT2 is showing Men in Black II and some E/I programming (they have 4 hours to fill from 1:30-5:30am

NBC stations will preempt the religious shows for the English Primer League "Championship Sunday" with all 10 games available on NBC or sister channels.
Premier, not Primer.
For people who follow the league, this is often the day that determines which three teams must go down to the second level of the English game (the "Championship") next year. Sometimes, there is drama concerning which team wins the Premier League title. Unfortunately, very little is at stake on this Championship Sunday. Manchester City has clinched the league title. West Bromwich Albion, Stoke City and Swansea City will be going down (barring an unheard-of event like a 5-goal Swansea victory coupled with a 5-goal Southampton loss -- in a league that generated a near-record number of 0-0 draws this season, you can see how very unlikely that is). The only item of importance left is whether Chelsea or Liverpool qualifies for the Champions League, the big European competition, next year. Hardly reason to overload all NBC outlets with a full slate of games, only two of which will mean anything to anyone. But I suppose a contract is a contract and NBC has sold the time, even if nobody actually watches most of the games.
Some NBC stations (mainly in the South) may still air their regular programming (religious shows, infomercials, etc.) for the reasons CTListener laid out.
Today WREG CBS 3 actually showed a rerun of Blue Bloods at noon ahead of CBS's sports schedule instead of an infomercial!!! (For them does that count as a pre-emption?)
I've looked at the schedules for the other big 4 stations in my area at times to see what they do during non-sports times on weekends. Most of them have syndicated programs and not nearly as many infomercials. The only stations that are as bad as WREG in running infomercials during non-sports times on weekends are WJKT Fox 16 in Jackson, and WHBQ Fox 13 in Memphis.
Also I've discovered that WREG will show syndicated programs on weekend late nights well into the night until they go into the CBS overnight news. To me there is no reason why they can't run at least some of the same syndicated shows they already have during non-sports time on weekends and at least cut back on infomercials, and it applies to WHBQ and WJKT as well. To me five to six hours of infomercials is ridiculous for any station.

not WCCO. 2 hours of paid programs (11-1) before the national programming.
Knowing off the top of my head this is the usual for my Big 4 for Minneapolis on weekends for time frames when no national programming (starting at 11am)
WCCO-Paid program if no national programming. 99.99999% guaranteed
KARE NBC-usually paid program or a replay of locally produced "Minnesota Bound".
KMSP FOX-Saturdays is paid programs up to 3pm then Access & JJ. Sundays when no NASCAR is paid programs until 3 then TMZ and usually Access
KSTP ABC sometimes will show other programs but has some paid programs.
KSTP runs Scandal and American Ninja Warrior on Saturday night and Rookie Blue on Sunday nights
WCCO has Blue Bloods, CSI Miami, Person of Interest and Elementary on weekend overngihts
Its nice to have a 2nd set of CBS & FOX because they rarely run paid programs
KEYC CBS rarely runs paid programs. In fact looking at schedule between yesterday and June 2 they do not have one paid program showing. They run other syndicated shows like Americas Heartland, Small Town Big Deal or run more E/I
KEYC-DT2 FOX does run paid programs but if they do its usually on a Sunday for an hour. They have lots of syndicated fare to show
Note they do sign off nightly at 1am and sign back on around 5 or 5:30am
I guess that is the one advantage of being a small market (KEYC is the only station in the Mankato market). They can get the syndicated shows and not fight with other stations in the market

Everything on The Big 4 in the Hartford/New Haven market was pre-empted last Tuesday for nonstop Weather Coverage. Connecticut is a small state, but on Tuesday between 2:15PM and like 5:45PM we had 7 tornado warnings.
We ended up having 4 tornadoes, 2 macrobursts, and 1 microburst in the state. Not too shabby considering Connecticut averages 2 tornadoes a year. Some school districts are still closed. Most of the power has been restored, but 1800 power poles were damaged or destroyed, 300 miles of power lines had to be restrung, and 100s of trees damaged or destroyed.

The Big Three in Nashville (WKRN-2, WSMV-4, WTVF-5) might preempt the network news for The Donald's latest xenophobic rant at the Municipal Auditorium.
well I see KEYC is doing the old "syndicated shuffle" in a couple weeks due to the soccer thingy starting the 14th where they move the syndicated shows between KEYC-DT2 (FOX) and KEYC (CBS)
Late Thursday 6/14 they are doing as such on KEYC
12:37 am Modern Family (from 6pm KEYC-DT2)
1:07 Last Man Standing (from 12:37am KEYC)
1:37 Rachael (from 9am KEYC-DT2)
KEYC-DT2 has Jeopardy at 1:30am (from 4pm)
Daily Mail actually moves up an hour to 11PM due to "World Cup tonight" at midnight..this replaces replay of Dr Phil
Friday into Saturday
KEYC
12:37am Modern Family (from 6pm KEYC-DT2)
1:07 Rachael (from 9am KEYC-DT2)
2:07 Crime Watch Daily (from 2pm KEYC-DT2)
KEYC-DT2
1:30 Family Feud (from 3pm)
2:00 Last Man Standing (from KEYC 12:37) <----this move is to even out the programming time so they can sign off at 2:37
Saturday 6/16 looks like they are moving some syndicated shows like Judge Judy and Family Feud from KEYC-DT2 to KEYC as FOX has US Open and CBS has....well nothing (national programming wise)
