I didn't even bother. I went right to WFMY and there it was.

They preempted that for this?
- Thread starter Stanislav
- Start date
actually it wasnt moved. Friday was to have been the rerun of Wednesday's episode (NBC has done that for the last few weeks)
So here we go again. The broadcast networks pre-empted their 10PM programming for live news programming, setting up an address of some sort by Joe Biden.
That meant CBS pre-empted Blue Bloods, NBC pre-empted Dateline (which is produced by the news department,) and ABC cut into 20/20 (which is also produced by the news department.)

I doubt CBS cares are they are still in reruns until Sunday.
Side note: is CBS using the MTV studio space?
I guess so, why not? Not much other demand for the space, and they spent money building it. The accountants like efficiencies.

Was that always the Viacom office?
Depends on what you mean by "always." I believe the building was originally owned by Paramount Pictures. The old Paramount Theater is part of the building. It was merged into Viacom & CBS back in the 90s. For some time, the lobby of the theater was turned into a WWE retail outlet. There was also an MTV store along that strip.
I guess when MTV moved in was Viacom there also?
Correct. Perhaps around 1997.
They just showed a wide shot of the studio looking out on Times Square, so yes they are still in the former TRL studio on the second floor of the ViacomCBS building, at 1 Astor Plaza, also known as 1515 Broadway.
I'm starting to wonder if Biden will get this address in before 11PM. Or if he intends to be live when local stations begin their 11PM news.

With MTV not doing live programming what are they using that studio for? Does it just sit empty.
I think he is hoping someone calls him the winner before he starts.
ABC moved Shark Tank to the 10 pm slot in the east, making way for 20/20 at 8 this week (election coverage instead of the wretched crime of the week the regular series has become).
I'd be interested to see how the networks handle football if Biden is declared the winner.
I'd imagine they'd do a bulletin, then rejoin the game.
The game is actually airing on ESPNEWS, not ESPN2.
Even CNBC and Fox Business are airing it even though they air Paid Programing during this hour.
We could be looking at more preemptions with Trump's lawyers vowing to challenge results.
