Grab the pitchforks.
Yesterday KARE 11 NBC Minneapolis did not show the new episode of Jeopardy at 4:30pm. Instead they showed their documentary "Love them First....Lessons from Lucy Laney" (which was shown previously on Tegna stations) from 4-5:30pm (4 to 4:50 and 5-5:30 is normally news).
they did not show it at all. OH THE HORROR! WE NEED TO PROTEST KARE FOR NOT SHOWING JEOPARDY!!!
I was just looking at the ratings for last week and it seems the "Survivor" live cast reunion didn't start until 10:30. So did it get cut short?Evening impeachment coverage pre-emptions varied depending on the network.
ABC took a break from 6-7 for local news and World News Tonight, then resumed afterward. All Eastern ABC's pre-empted the 7-8 hour with mandatory coverage. WABC New York, WPVI Philly, and WTVD Raleigh all moved Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune to the .2 Live Well Network subs. WLS Chicago moved J! there, but bumped WOF to 1:35 AM.
CBS apparently expanded CBS Evening News to an hour with the second half being optional. Live impeachment coverage resumed at 7:30, but that portion was also optional, but many affiliates aired the regular 7:00 programming and then switched to the coverage at 7:30, including WCBS New York, which aired Inside Edition in full at 7:00, then cut to the coverage during Entertainment Tonight's intro. WFMY Greensboro was among the few stations that aired programming at both 7:00 and 7:30 (WOF/J!).
NBC aired nonstop coverage until 9:00, pre-empting one of two episodes of Ellen's Greatest Night of Giveaways. The portion from 7-8 was optional. Some affiliates like WXIA Atlanta aired the regular shows (WOF/J!), while others like WCNC Charlotte (same shows but reversed) aired the coverage throughout. WNBC went the latter route in lieu of Access Hollywood and All Access, although they did break away from the hearings from 5-6 for local news.
ABC and CBS signed off at 8:00, but both cut in for about 7 minutes during the 8:30 slot (pausing the live special on ABC) to announce the impeachment result.
Denver FOX affiliate KDVR aired at least some coverage. Social media reports that at least some (probably all) of Jeopardy! at 6:00 was pre-empted, and WOF was joined in progress in time for the Bonus Round, which would have been around 6:53 Mountain Time.

I think the "Survivor" cast reunion is live, so technically content may have been lost because it never happened.I wasn't watching, but I believe CBS and ABC both strategically timed their break-ins and the shows themselves so that no content was lost. Of course, it was easier for ABC since it was live. But I do know that ABC usually "pauses" The Bachelor on the East Coast when it conflicts with the State of the Union.
Got a Quick one, concerning the New Orleans Market and the Saints:
*If the Saints wind up the #3 Seed and play the Vikings.
*AND that winds up as the ESPN Game:
*AND given that WDSU-TV6 (NBC)has a Contract bound with ESPN through Hearst (Hearst has 20% in ESPN)
*EVENTHOUGH ABC is going to Simulcast:
*Would WDSU-TV6 (NBC) be eligible to air the game? or will TV6 be out in the dark and Not allowed to air due to the ABC network simulcasting?
So there is nothing WDSU can do, since ABC is simulcasting.

Other affiliates can probably still air pregame specials though. WVUE/FOX almost-always airs Saints pregames even though they rarely carry the non-TNF games themselves.
