The Sports Overruns and Pre-emptions Thread

Surprised both games don't have 7pm local time start. A 4pm West Coast start on a Tuesday causes stressful ticket holders, freeway commuters, and less viewers IMO

Luckily for this week, most (if not, all) schools are on Christmas break starting today, so at least some of the potential traffic issues would be alleviated there.

I can speak for Los Angeles, since I don't live too far away from SoFi Stadium, and I've seen the traffic issues in the area around the stadium on some game-days. To and from the stadium during Tuesday rush-hour, again considering the holiday week, shouldn't be too bad...it's getting in and out of the stadium that would be the bigger issue, especially considering the shopping centers right across the street and next door to SoFi, and Century Boulevard (the southern boundary of the Hollywood Park complex) is one of the main roads that leads into Los Angeles International Airport.
 
On Saturday afternoons when CBS has a college football game at 3:35 P.M. Eastern/2:35 P.M. Central, wouldn't a lot of Eastern and Central time zone affiliates have local news scheduled for 7 P.M. ET/6 P.M. CT?

Not any more. College football games routinely run over 3 1/2 hours, especially in the SEC. The CBS postgame show runs past 6:30 p.m. CT most weeks. Syndicated programs are joined in progress.

Local affiliates happily pre-empt those newscasts on the weekends. Not much viewership for them anyway.
