They preempted that for this?

WSBK TV 38 in Boston is airing The Late Show With Stephen Colbert tonight simulcasting with the main WBZ channel and replacing back-to-back episodes of Seinfeld. I just don't get why they are doing that? Does it have something to do with the leasing contract agreement?

Also, this Friday, the main WBZ channel is airing a special hour-long PAA which means both Wheel and J! will air at its regular times on WBZ's sister channel WSBK replacing back-to-back episodes of TBBT but the real chances are that my Bell Fiber Op might opt to switch WSBK over to CTV 2 Atlantic to simsub TBBT in place of the former.
Could you please translate PAA, TBBT and "simsub" into something comprehensible?

Spolier alert, the Celtics won the NBA Finals so that explains why WBZ went to overtime to cover the postgame coverage and reaction including outside TD Garden, sports bars and live heilcopter above.
 
Dozens of major sports channel got interrupted their score and news and switched to major breaking sports news about the passing of baseball legend Willie Mays last night.

I was watching MLB Network when the news broke, they were doing the minor league game between Montgomery & Birmingham from Rickwood Field & they cut away from the game during the 7th inning for about 10 minutes to show a tribute to Willie Mays & the remainder of the game broadcast was largely just reminiscing about the life of Willie & hardly much actual PBP of the game itself.
 
Thursday June 27, 2024 is the 2024 Election Debate night hosted by CNN on all the main local channels ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox along with some news networks like NewsNation, Fox News, MSNBC.

I don't know if this is all ABC Affiliates or just the ABC Affiliate in Des Moines Iowa but WOI 5 in Des Moines will air the Debate from 8-9pm then have a WNBA game at 9pm.
 
Nexstar now owns WHO13 right since 2019, Tegna bought WOI/KCWI because of the Nexstar-Tribune Merger

Yes Nexstar owns WHO 13 and Tegna owns WOI and KCWI. Nexstar only owns the Primetime and sports programming on the CW. Just was thinking that with NewsNation airing it that they would put it on the CW to like they did with one of the debates last year where NewsNation and the CW aired it.
 
WPLG (ABC Miami), jumped the gun wanting to get their local postgame coverage for the Stanley Cup Championship for the Florida Panthers, of which they're the local market station airing the Finals, they cut into ESPN on ABC's postgame coverage during an interview with their GM to get their late newscast going. I get what they're thinking, but couldn't they just have waited like the rest of the network did for coverage to end before doing their own, which IMO, when it comes to letting local stations doing coverage of sports, particular special postseason pre/postgame stuff surrounding their network coverage, it's subpar & more like a place to hear fans getting TV time reacting more than an actual postgame.
 
Dozen of bottom line score were preempted off and on last night for breaking sports news regarding the Florida Panthers won their first-ever Stanley Cup title. The Latino community did have reactions as well.
 
Believe it or not, I have some old TV Guides from Louisiana from 1979, 1980 and 1981 (the Louisiana Edition), one from the week of the day I entered this Earth, Jan. 3, 1981 (I got them from an antique store in the town of Daphne when I was staying w/my sister who lives in that area near Mobile), and inexplicably, none of the Louisiana CBS stations (WWL Channel 4 of New Orleans, WAFB Channel 9 of Baton Rouge, KNOE Channel 8 of Monroe, or WLFY Channel 10 of Lafayette) ever had Sunday Morning w/Charles Kuralt (all of them had religious shows wall-to-wall).

Here's pages from the Sunday listings in the TV Guide of the week of my birth to illustrate that...
