They preempted that for this?

Huh? Did you watch? They had a huge stage out in front of the tree, most of the performances were live, and a lot of the musicians were wearing masks. I think the Dolly was pre-recorded, and a few others were from other locations, but the majority of the show was in front of the tree. I thought it was funny that the statue of Atlas above the rink was wearing a mask.

They really should have lit the tree 1 hour in. Who wants to see a dark tree for 2 hours. 3 with the O/O's

Didn’t get to post yesterday because of the software upgrade. But WCNC preempted Wheel of Fortune for a special 7:30 newscast after “Wednesday Afternoon Football.” But according to the listings on the website Jeopardy aired as scheduled. I’m sure WheelRob will be just thrilled to hear about that. They aired Judge Judy at 3 as scheduled according to the listings and decided not to air a 3pm newscast. Some stations did. The Baltimore and Pittsburgh stations aired pregame shows as you might expect. Some stations actually left talk shows in progress. And one station in the Quad Cities didn’t air the game at all! 😳
The game preempted Days in the western time zones. I know the Salt Lake station aired it at 1:05 am their time.

I can verify "Jeopardy" aired in Charlotte. I was surprised after what I had read before the site shut down.

They may force Baltimore to forfeit.

Well considering BOTH teams had COVID-19 issues, the Roger Goodell would've likely dished out a 0-0 T to their records, fined them UP THE YANG YANG (With half the money going back to Comcast/NBC for all the trouble they were put through (NBC could've EASILY BURIED the game on NBCSN with their BACKUP announcers in the booth), told them to READ THE MEMO, say SEE YA SUNDAY & called it a day had they not been able to play TODAY :) LOL

The CBS affiliate in Fort Wayne didn't carry "Good Times" and CBS offered it to the NBC affiliate, which ran it at 6:30pm Saturdays, a week later.

I'm actually confused by this. Both of the CBS and NBC stations in Fort Wayne have different owners. Plus, was it the 70's show or a different one?
 
Not sure I've figured out the quote function in the new board, but I'm talking about when Good Times was in first-run network episodes. Of course WANE and WKJG had different owners as they could do nothing else in the 70s. The affiliate didn't air the show so CBS shopped it elsewhere and WKJG (the NBC affiliate) bought it. Monday (I think)'s episode ran the following Saturday (not the same week but the next week).

Oh right, now I know. Thanks for confirming.
 
so Monday Washington plays Pittsburgh and originally it was assumed it was on FOX nationally at 4 CST. But FOX press releases show its regional. So only 71 markets are carrying it. These areas are showing the game (none in Mountain or Pacific time zone)

all markets in Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Mass, Rhode Island, Connecticut, NJ, PA, WV, OH, VA (minus Tri-Cities DMA) and Kansas
Lexington & Louisville
Knoxville
New Orleans
Tampa Bay & Orlando
Dallas and neighboring DMA's (Tyler, Wichita Falls, Austin, Sherman, Abilene, Waco)
Minneapolis
Detroit
Chicago
Green Bay & Milwaukee
Omaha & Lincoln/Grand Island/Hastings
Western Missouri (KC, St Joe, Columbia, Springfield)
