Might also mention that Stanford-UCLA is preempting local news on Fox stations. I assume that KTTV and KTVU will get the whole game in event Yankees-Mets baseball runs past 10:30pm.

They preempted that for this?

ABC, CBS, and NBC will also air special 9/11 20th anniversary specials Saturday Morning running from 7:30am to 10am
Yes. The last "new" cartoon i watched with any regularity was The Real Ghostbusters. When i got cable i could watch Cartoon Network, which had Wacky Races and The Perils Of Penelope Pitstop, which i had never seen before. The CTA of 1990 turned me off on cartoons for the most part.
The You Bet Your Life Preview Show preempts the secondary airing of 25 Words or Less on WJZY Friday at 11:30am. I do not think that particular episode will air. You Bet Your Life takes over the time slot Monday, with the secondary 25 WOL moving to 1am
I've said before that the big 3 networks used the E/I rules as a convenient excuse to drop cartoons on Saturday mornings by only running the required E/I programming and filling the rest of the morning with weekend versions of their morning news shows. They also took the cheap way out with Litton's programming instead of coming up with kid's shows that could be both fun and educational.
In Los Angeles, KCOP will be simulcasting the Fox News Channel Coverage of the 9/11 20th Anniversary Memorial from 6-8am local time. FOX LA has elected to keep College Football on the main channel, KTTV
I kind of miss ABC when they had The Real Ghostbusters then college football(either a Big Ten or Pac-10 game). They also had PBA bowling too during the winter.
The “excuse” was simple: business. Let’s not pretend for a moment that had E/I never been more than a part of the Old MacDonald song that the morning shows wouldn’t have found their way to Saturday mornings alongside local news (in many markets). The cable networks were going to become the home for cartoons and kids shows. The broadcasters weren’t going to keep living in some over-romanticized past, mostly championed by people well past the typical cartoon age.
E/I may have forced them to limit some of the news expansion, and there was absolutely no reason to continue down the path of throwing good money away on a dwindling benefit.
If it was election season, it could have been to catch up on inventory. We did that at WLFI, Lafayette....blew CBS off 2 Fridays in a row to run a movie and catch up on local spots, many that had been bumped for political
I remember that KDSM FOX 17 aired basketball during the winter on fridays during the normal time cartoons aired. They did however air the cartoons that was suppose to air on Friday on Saturday afternoons from Noon to 2pm replacing that weeks movie. This was also before Fox became a network carrying sports.

Not here in Denver (#16)
Ever since KTVD 20 lost the OTA rights, the Rockies have ONLY been on cable via the various incarnations of what is now AT&T SportsNet (Opening Day included)

Couldn't have been because last year, that game was on FOX (And it wasn't a very good game either)

Could this have been the game between the Avalanche-Golden Knights game that was played on the waters of Lake Tahoe??

I didn't know KMGH aired the CBS Late Movie in the 1980s. I thought they stopped that in the 1970s
But you're right about KYCU 5 as although they were a CBS/ABC dual affiliated station, they largely operated as a CBS station, only they took the East Coast CBS feed live (I think they even took the morning news live on the Central Time Zone feed just as KMGH did in order to squeeze in the late afternoon CBS shows broadcast the day before elsewhere)
KREX 5 in Grand Junction did the same thing, although they were a CBS/NBC dual affiliate as Grand Junction didn't get their own NBC affiliate until KKCO 11 signed on much later on
BTW - How receivable was KKTV 11 in Colorado Springs to you?? Back then, there were times, I got KKTV almost as good as the Denver stations
It was like having a second CBS affiliate

That's what KMGH did, although they never had the rights to MASH (Those belonged to KUSA 9, who delayed "Nightline" for a half hour to air the show (They were still the ABC affiliate at the time))
For a while, KUSA 9 (I believe) also had the rights to "Cheers" & delayed "Nightline" EVEN FURTHER (Much to ABC's chagrin no less 😈)

Why is that a surprise?? The Jets-Giants game is…
✔️ Not of interest of ANYONE out of New York
✔️ Features two teams that aren't very good anyway
✔️ Just happens to be broadcast by NBC O&O. WNBC 4 in New York
That DOES NOT make it an NBC national broadcast
Now from what I saw, the game WAS on NFL NETWORK but there's A HUGE DIFFERENCE between that & being on NBC itself

If that were LOUISIANA, folks WOULD NOT be angry
If they WERE, they'd be VERY MUCH in the minority

Keep in mind that CBS doesn't have the SEC anymore but other sports can still wreak havoc on the network schedule though
CBS doesn't lose SEC football until 2024 when the deal with ESPN starts. But I won't be surprised for them to make some other deal with another conference to keep college games on after that, or go to carrying several conferences like ABC.
Tonight KEYC Mankato, MN is going to be showing the Minnesota State University-Mankato vs. University of Minnesota-Duluth D2 football game on the CBS station at 6pm (it can be seen for free on the NSIC streaming service also)
Anywho CBS programming will be shown at 10:30-12:30 tonight. Wheel rerun was on at 11:30am and they will join the 9pm show in progress if the game runs long.
