2011-12 Network Pre-emptions

[Iowan]

Up until now, WHBF-TV had never aired CBS' 'Up To The Minute'. It just started airing the late night program recently...What other regular network pre-emptions are there? Any kind, not just late night. What about daytime? Primetime? Saturday morning? And do other stations pick up the programs?

WFSB Channel 3 the Merideth owned CBS station in Hartford doesn't carry The Saturday Early Show. If you have rabbit ears however you can see The Saturday Early show on Channel 3.2 in Hartford, which is a simulcast of WSHM-LD from Springfield "CBS TV 3". Originally on 67 now on 21.

WHBF is owned by Citadel Communications, which is notorious for having its stations leave the air every night. In light of this, does any Citadel ABC affiliate begun showing "World News Now" overnights (besides WLNE in Providence, which was grandfathered in)?

During non-sweeps periods, affiliates with often pre-empt a random show that's scheduled to be a rerun with an infomercial or an old movie as make goods for local advertisers. Last December, KSDK in St. Louis pre-empted a new episode of Community with a local grocery store infomercial.
