They preempted that for this?

It appears the Panthers and Falcons replays are being picked up by Fox Sports South. The Bears-Falcons replay is being broadcast Tuesday night at 7 and the Panthers-Chargers replay Wednesday night at 7 and both will last for 2 and a half hours. I just noticed tonight. Both WSOC and WAGA must have passed up on the rights.
 
Fox has a heckuva situation on its hands. Texas-Texas Tech is headed to overtime at 7:43pm Eastern...after already running 43 minutes behind. The Brewers-Cardinals game is airing on FS2 while the Phillies-Rays is being streamed on the Fox Sports Go app.
 
Texas just completed the comeback in overtime...Fox just ran the promo for the baseball games that started almost an hour ago LOL!
 
WJZY just joined Phillies-Rays at 8:02pm in the top of the 4th.

And right on cue FS2 pulled out of the Brewers-Cardinals game and went to regularly scheduled programming. What a shame. I know they had to, but they should’ve shown that game to markets that didn’t get Phillies-Rays, and showed Phillies-Rays on there to the people that got Brewers-Cardinals on Fox. I miss the ABC/ESPN college football reverse mirror days
 
both CBS & FOX football games ran looooooong and basically both ran an hour over. FOX went to baseball (as noted above) and CBS went to prime time
 
CBS's game ran to 7:45 Eastern and postgame filled the rest of the hour to 8:00.

WTXF in Philly abruptly cut off College Football at 7:10 (at which point there were over 9 minutes left in the 4th quarter) to start the Phillies/Rays broadcast.

ABC's game doesn't look like it's going to be ending on time either still with the 3rd quarter not even half over at 10:15 Eastern.

However, FOX has had its shortest MLB games in a long time. Phillies/Rays signed off at 10:06 Eastern, only a little behind schedule. Brewers/Cardinals must have ended on time, because I checked KDVR in Denver at 10:04 and Jeopardy! was on while WNYW New York (which aired Phillies/Rays) was still on the commercial break before the final wrap-up.

Ironically, the episode of Wheel of Fortune that's rerunning tonight originally aired the same day as the Redbox Bowl last year, which FOX scheduled until 7:30 Eastern and of course ran long, so most FOX stations carrying WOF pre-empted the episode twice (most of them move it to Saturday or Sunday afternoon on weekends with MLB, but since FOX has sports pretty much all day and night this weekend, many are forced to air this weekend's ep in late night or not at all). Fortunately, none of the three contestants on that episode live in markets that carry it on FOX.

I wonder how you could get both Fox MLB games?
 
There are so many times that the afternoon game runs late on CBS just like ABC and Fox, so I don't know why they don't just go to scheduling games to 8PM ET as well and go straight into prime time.

Or 7:30 at least, since a lot of CBS's are pre-empting their usual 7:00 syndie for after-the-game local news.

In addition to this, WTXF still ran their 10:00 news to 11:00, followed by Labor of Love. WNYW ran the news until about 11:09 and started LoL from the beginning.

Stanley Cup went into Overtime. ... Out West, of course, it varied. On KSBY 6 in San Luis Obispo, an hour of local news was scheduled at 8:00 Pacific, followed by Jeopardy! at 9:00, Wheel at 9:30, and a Dateline NBC rerun at 10:00. The news ran from 8:30-9:30, Jeopardy! aired at 9:30, and Wheel was skipped to Dateline.

KSBY aired Friday's skipped Wheel at around 10:07 Pacific on Saturday after at least half an hour of local news after 2OT Stanley Cup, presumably replacing the usual Saturday rerun normally scheduled for 9:30 (I assume the Saturday ep of Jeopardy! aired in between, the news was still on at around 9:34 when I checked it). This time, they JIP'd Dateline afterwards.

in Dallas, NBC O&O KXAS stayed with the Stanley Cup finals being that the Stars is our team and they signed off when the game ended and NBC wrapped up, i was glued into the end of it last night, great finish.

Double overtime! NBC didn't sign off until 12:04 AM Eastern. SNL (a rerun of course) was delayed to 12:34 on the East Coast.

ABC signed off at about 11:25 PM. Who would have thought MLB would be the shortest of the Big Four sports for the day?

College football is seriously bloated. Everyone complains about the pace of baseball, but college football games are right up there, if not longer, in average time.
 
due to the Philly/Cincy game going to a tie and CBS offering it to all early games as "bonus coverage" then having a 15 minute postgame PBR bull riding was JIP'd at :12 after the hour (4:12 CDT as example)
