They preempted that for this?

[WheelRob]

Due to tomorrow's Raiders game, KGO San Francisco's evening lineup will be pre-empted from 7:00 PM onwards. The game starts at 7:15, and KGO opts to air ABC World News Tonight at 5:30 instead of the typical 6:30, preceding a one-hour 6:00 local newscast, which will run straight until 7:15 tomorrow. Bachelor in Paradise and Grand Hotel get moved to overnight starting at 1:07 AM, and the season premiere weeks of Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune will air a day behind everyone else, with the five episodes airing from Tuesday-Saturday. Thursday's airings will be at 9:00 and 9:30 PM due to the Democratic Debates, and Saturday's shows will also be in that hour due to College Football. There will be no previous-season repeats that weekend.

This is at least the third year in a row the game shows' season premieres got pre-empted on KGO by Monday Night Football. Last year, they were skipped entirely and not delayed or re-aired (at least not WOF). The previous two years, they were also pre-empted on KABC Los Angeles and typically bumped to overnight, but KABC will not be airing any games next week.

If the game is on espn why do they need to premept wheel on abc for?

 

[AbrahamJSimpson]

The games have long aired on broadcast in the markets of the teams playing. Nothing new there at all.

 

[Mr Tony]

NFL rules state that games on cable MUST be broadcast in the two teams PRIMARY markets over the air. Reason I say Primary is that is the teams local market. There are areas that are considered secondary markets (markets that part of their DMA is within 75 miles of the teams stadium). Rules for secondary markets are they must show all teams road games and if the blackout rule was still around they were subject to blackout rules.

Oh as to which network shows the game locally depends on the market.
If the ABC IS O&O or Scripps owned they get first right of refusal. After that (or if there is no O&O/Scripps in the market) its whoever pays the most. So for the last few years in Minneapolis the ESPN/NFL Net only games were broadcast on CBS O&O WCCO

This thread would have maybe one-tenth of the posts it now has if all of them were on topic. It's supposed to be about pre-emptions that make you shake your head, not routine sports pre-emptions of "Wheel of Fortune," "60 Minutes," local news, etc.; pre-emptions of dumbed-down chewing gum for the eyes like syndicated sitcoms and game shows for storm or other emergency/potential emergency coverage; or even pre-emptions created when a third party buys up the airtime for more money than the station could make from selling advertising in that time slot with its usual programming. The bottom line is that there are very, very few pre-emptions that don't make perfect sense on some level.

 

[vchimpanzee]

I don't understand why "60 Minutes" wasn't shown in the TV listings for WBTV. The only reason I cared was a newspaper headline that said one of their reporters would be the subject of a story. WFMY aired the show at its usual time and I recorded it. But not everyone has two CBS affiliates on their cable system. "Big Brother" was shown at its usual time on both stations.

The Panthers played an early game and Fox had the late game. The very late game, as it turned out. Then my listings showed "Last Man Standing", so that was being recorded, except it was the end of that show and then Fox went to "Family Guy" at its usual time.

 

[Mr Tony]

Carolina had the Early game at home so CBS HAD to show the late game (LAC vs Indy). The game ran long (13 after the hour) so 60 minutes would have started at 7:13/6:13 central. Greensboro showed an early CBS game (Tenn @ Cleveland) so they should have been on time for prime time

The Lions/Cards game ran until 7:23 CDT due to using up all of overtime and it being a tie. FOX stayed with it until the end with bonus coverage for all of the US which is rare. This actually made NBC delay the kickoff until 7:23:05 (right when the time in Arizona said :00 about 5 seconds later kickoff was in Foxborough)

A million times this. So much of this thread is just business as usual, standard operating procedure.

And, really, if a station schedules let’s say a hometown football team magazine all season at a particular time, then it is the regularly scheduled program. It can hardly be considered a pre-emotion, let alone one that is somehow “bizarre.”

And news is news. Sports run over. Things happen.

I don't see tonight's game listed on any of Denver's local affiliates.

I thought all day games had to be off air before the SNF game kicks at 8:15. Did the NFL give Fox an exemption to play the overtime out nationally.

You'd be amazed how many 'Rain Man' viewers there are. Logic, other tastes, or safety be damned.. Must watch Wheel and Jeopardy every day at this time!

I remember the huge uproar when our local affiliate decided to put Jeopardy on at 4 pm. Let's just say that didn't last long.

 

[AbrahamJSimpson]

Oh, one tornado warning or what have you shows the number of obsessive, self-centered viewers out there. Sadly, it’s not surprising.

What is perhaps surprising is folks who scour listings across the country looking for who is doing what, where and when, a layer on top of finding it unusual that stations sometimes schedule other programming.

I mean, we don’t say ABC preempts their Sunday shows for the Oscars (at least most of us don’t). The Oscars are a scheduled program. The other shows aren’t scheduled that night. Thus, to a rational observer, not preempted.

ESPN | KTVD-20 (Tegna owned)

And I have to correct myself....its Hearst owned stations, not Scripps that get 1st right of refusal for MNF games. For NFL Net only games FOX O&O's get 1st right of refusal

Thursday's Carolina/Tampa game on NFL Net goes to the O&O in Charlotte (WJZY) and More 32 in Tampa

 

[Mr Tony]

I thought all day games had to be off air before the SNF game kicks at 8:15. Did the NFL give Fox an exemption to play the overtime out nationally.

SNF game kicks off normally at 7:20 Central time. As for the exemption that would be a question for the NFL

Wheel Rob will probably not appreciate this comment as he puts a lot of effort into updating the users of this site what preemptions of wheel of fortune occur and in what different markets which is good and honorable updating of this thread in my opinion.

Hearst actually owns a 20 Percent stake in ESPN which is how their owned and operated stations are able to get the Right of first refusal.

None of which negates CTListener’s point.

to which most of us dont give a rats patoot about Wheel being pre-empted in Burnt Scrotum, NM for a local news special about how to escape a car fire

The listings on my TiVo had no way of knowing this. I assume "Big Brother" also started late and everything else was pushed later.

You would think "60 Minutes" would have been listed somehow.
