They preempted that for this?

WheelRob said:
On Wednesday, two separate CMA preshows will be pre-empting the 7:30 ET/PT slot in several markets.

One is produced by KABC in Los Angeles, and will be airing on all the ABC O&O's, pre-empting Wheel of Fortune on all of them (barring KTRK Houston which would simply cut their 6:00 news in half).

The other is produced by WKRN in Nashville, and will be airing on all Nexstar-owned ABC affiliates.

WABC NY, WPVI Philly, and WTVD Raleigh/Durham all moved Wednesday's Wheel to the .2 Localish subchannel, as they did last year back when that channel was still Live Well Network.

WLS Chicago and KFSN Fresno both bumped it overnight.

KGO SF is sliding the Wed-Fri episodes to Thu-Sat; Thursday's episode is airing right now instead of Friday's.

KABC LA is delaying Wednesday's episode to Saturday at 9:30 PM, replacing the weekend rerun.

For the three Nexstar ABC's that pre-empted Wheel on Wednesday, WKRN Nashville and KMID Midland/Odessa, TX bumped it overnight. WTNH New Haven did not air the episode at all (they never make up Jeopardy! or Wheel when pre-empted on a weekday, although they do air the weekend runs on Sunday afternoons when pre-empted on Saturdays, including all of CFB season). WRIC Richmond has the shows swapped, so J! got bumped instead. Usually, J! gets delayed to 12:30 PM the following afternoon, replacing the secondary run (they do not make up Wheel when that gets pre-empted). I assume they did so this time even though their listings still had Thursday's 12:30 airing as a rerun.
 
I know it was because of the Masters but I was surprised that CBS had no college football even in prime time yesterday, which they usually do if there isn't an afternoon game. But then Tennessee was postponed because of You Know What and Memphis was off so I didn't watch much football anyway.

They kind of lucked out, because so many teams canceled games due to COVID. A lot of ranked teams weren't even playing, and ESPN was stuck running weaker games.

They even did College Game Day from The Masters.

There was to have been a game at 5 CST (LSU/Alabama) but since the game got cancelled CBS gave the time back to the affiliates as they had no backup game (unlike ESPN which can shift games up from say ESPN+ or ESPN3

Not even a "Who Cares Conference" game from its CBS Sports Network's roster?

Also, will the advertisers get a full refund from CBS or a make-good for spots on a future game -- which would have a good chance of being canceled due to COVID?
 
so tomorrow WCCO Minneapolis has the rights locally for the ESPN Monday Night Football game (MN vs Chicago) so tomorrows primetime programming is split between two nights

at 6:30 Vikings pre-game pre-empts Wheel which is shown Wednesday morning (late Tuesday night) at 1:37am
Neighborhood, Bob (hearts) Abishola and All Rise is delayed until 1:07 (approx)-3:07 Monday night/Tuesday morning
Bull gets moved to 2:07am Tuesday night/Wednesday morning
 
This week's CBS game (Ole Miss/Texas A&M) is already cancelled due to Covid

Dont know if there will be a replacement game, maybe a classic game or given back to the affiliates

Tennessee was supposed to play Texas A&M last Saturday and it was because pf players on A&M having the virus that the game was canceled. Not saying it couldn't happen with Tennessee though.
 
Sunday night had a bad storm with tornado warnings on the NY/CT border. Some, not all, of the Big Four broke into primetime on both sides.

NYC: WNBC 4 and WABC 7 aired coverage, the former of which interrupted NFL. WCBS 2 and WNYW 5 (FOX) stuck with programming.

Hartford/New Haven: WFSB 3 (CBS), WTNH 8 (ABC), and WTIC 61 (FOX) aired coverage. WVIT 30 (NBC) was the only one that stuck with programming (NFL), though they did run a crawl and a mini-map throughout.

The NY stations returned to programming by 9:10 or so. WFSB switched back to NCIS at 9:23 during a break.

And for the Chicago side, WLS ABC 7 was originally scheduled to carry it (as they did with the other Bears game on 10/26), but they passed it on to WCIU CW 26. Pregame at 6:30 pre-empted one of two Mike & Molly's entirely. Whose Line x 2 and Penn & Teller are delayed to Saturday night at 7 and 8, replacing double runs of Bob's Burgers and Family Guy (both of which normally air a total 7 times each on Saturday evenings, brought down to 5 this week). One of two King of Queens (normally 9) was moved to 11:00, replacing one of two Funny You Should Ask's (the other is at 3:30 AM). The other KOQ was pre-empted entirely.
 
Tonight at 7:00 PM Eastern, The Big Three of Lexington, KY aired a half-hour special on the "virtual groundbreaking" of a new Baptist Health Hospital campus.

WKYT CBS 27: Wheel of Fortune was moved to 27.2 CW, shortening local program "The Breakdown" to half an hour starting at 7:30.

WTVQ ABC 36: Entertainment Tonight was pre-empted, but it re-airs at 2:36 AM regardless.

WLEX NBC 18: Special was moved to 18.2 MeTV, replacing M*A*S*H. Local news aired at 7:00 as normal.
