CBS Sunday Night Prime

O

oldiesfan6479

It appears that CBS scheduled only 3.5 hours of prime time
programming for Sunday night, due to the usual NFL runover,
with 60 Minutes scheduled for a 7:30pm ET start.

Both the WCBS-TV and WBBM-TV program listings indicated
as much.

Does anyone know what "filler" half-hour (sitcom rerun?) CBS
pre-fed to the Mountain zone stations for air at 7:00 MT, and
will run on the left coast feed to fill the 8:00pm PT slot?
 
I don`t know what the Western time zone stations got for that "missing" half-hour tonight, but the 7:30 start time for Sunday prime on CBS is for tonight only. Things`ll go back to normal next Sunday with the season premieres of "60", "Cold Case" & "Trace".
 
It would really make sense for CBS to do scheduling that takes football into account.

Indeed. Since they've given up on actually putting new shows in the affected slots, though, it doesn't matter as much.

The correct thing would be to hand 6:00-6:30 back to the affiliates, who could do local news or whatever else they wished in the time between the end of football and the start of the prime-time schedule. That still doesn't take overtime into account, though.
 
the next nfl double-header on cbs sports is sunday oct 1st. on the west coast, games will air at 10 am and 1.15 pm PT (11 am and 2.15 pm MT). after that, regular programming airs until 7 pm PT and 6 pm MT (cbs evening news airs at 5.30 pm PT in most pacific states and a few at 6.30 pm PT). the central and eastern time zones will air the games at 1 pm ET/12 CT and 4.15 pm ET/3.15 CT. primetime programming begins at 7.30 pm with no cbs news broadcast. mountain time zone cbs stations won't have a cbs news broadcast after nfl football (network programming resumes at 6 pm MT).
