KDIX (now KXMA) in Dickinson has always been CBS, so it was probably that station. A lot of places also had translators for KFYR from Bismarck to get NBC, since Dickinson didn't have full powered NBC until 1980. I remember seeing that at one time Marmarth had a translator for one of the Lead, SD (Rapid City) stations, so pulling those in was possible also.

They preempted that for this?
- Thread starter Stanislav
- Start date
Did any of the Montana tv stations get that far back then, or not?
Will KCTV air any home Tigers-Royals games this season? And on those nights, will CBS programming during the game be bumped to KSMO?
That will make Tiger fans visiting KC feel at home, at least for one night.
Glendive's station started in the late 50s, but I have not ever seen any listings of North Dakota translators for that one.
I did find a listing for Bowman's translators in the TV Factbook 2 for 1967
Link here if you want to view it, it is on page 225-a:
Bowman had two translators, one for KDSJ in Lead, SD and another for KFYR in Bismarck.
KDIX should have been available in Bowman without a translator, its signal reached down into South Dakota in the analog days.
We have our answer.
This shows CBS covered the incident for two hours, and ABC and NBC for a half hour after the NBA playoff games each was airing.
Thanks!
Apparently in Connecticut the free-to-air Mets games are on WTNH 8/ABC owned by Nexstar.
The night the space shuttle came back WTNH was airing the game while Jepordy, AzBC News coverage of the space shuttle, and ABC programming aired on sister station WCTX/59 blowing out 2 episodes of Judge Judy reruns 7PM-8PM and the news at 8PM
Meanwhile a recent afternoon game pn WTNH blew out their 4PM News.

yes they are according to the schedule (although all say KCTV yet they say some will be on KSMO also or by itself)

KVLY-DT2 CBS 11.2 Fargo moves NCIS programming (NCIS, NCIS Origins and NCIS Sydney) starting at 12:36AM
KBJR-DT2 CBS 6.2 Duluth same thing as Fargo. Moves programming to after the national programming is done. Normally they would have it on KBJR-DT3 which is a sports station but they are carrying the Milwaukee Brewers game on there (Duluth is part of the Milwaukee Brewers "area")
KMSP FOX 9.1 Minneapolis moves programming to 10:35 at the earliest. Most other markets cut the postgame at 10pm to "keep on track" with programming. FOX 9 doesn't.
KYOU FOX 15 Ottumwa, IA moves FOX programming to 10:30 after news
FOX Western North Dakota (KFYR-DT2, KMOT-DT2, KUMV-DT2 and KQCD-DT2) same thing as other FOX stations. FOX programming will be on at 10PM
Other than KMSP which is a O&O, the rest are Gray owned stations

Surprised that KYOU is getting a Twins game--you would think that as far as American League teams are concerned, Kirksville/Ottumwa DMA would have more people saying that the Royals are "my American League team" instead of the Twins if they had to choose both a favorite AL and NL team (with the latter much more Cardinal fans in that DMA than Cubs).
There are some other Iowa markets that get it too but tv listings don't usually show it. Iowa is "claimed" by SIX teams (Twins, Brewers, Cubs, Sox, Cards and Royals). Iowa is part of Twins Territory along with the Dakotas and Western Wisconsin(the Minneapolis DMA). I know the Quad Cities get the Twins games OTA

New "Sheriff Country". "Fire Country" and "Boston Blue" on CBS Friday, but WBTV Charlotte had the Braves. And it's not like these shows are unpopular.

Tonight's D'backs home game against the Rockies is being simulcasted by KPNX (NBC/Phoenix) moving tonight's primetime lineup of 2 Law and Order episodes & The Hunting Party to after Seth Meyers. Usually, the simulcasts KPNX has of D'backs games are on Fridays, but obviously due to Game 3 of the NBA Western Conference Finals, it's moved up to tonight (D'backs website last week had tomorrow's game on 12News, but has been updated to D'backs.tv only). Clearly, simulcasting because MLB thinks D'backs/Rockies is a rivalry, which it is in terms of division NL West, but doesn't really feel like one.
Wait. If the show is airing at another time. I don't think that's considered a pre-emptipn.
Those are long gone. Programming just gets moved to late night or a subchannel which is what the last.....oh......how many pages here have mentioned. Heck even in the above MN Twins pre-emptions on some Tuesdays for ballgames on local TV I write "Pre-emptions (well just moving programming)."
