CBS Weekend Sports Overruns

O

oldiesfan6479

Does CBS still publish (to affiliates) their plans for overruns during weekend sports events?

This weekend (Sun 02/17) the Glen Campbell L.A. Open (or whatever its current "name" is) was still going about an hour after its projected sign off of 6:30 PM ET. That blew out the CBS Weekend News (6:30-7:00 PM ET), and Jim Nantz announced late in that half hour that at the TOH (7:00 ET) it would continue on west coast stations, but the rest of the network would be starting prime time at 7:00 ET. Can't keep 60 Minutes from Grandpa and Grandma outside of NFL season, now can we?

They were still going with golf wrap-up stuff around 7:30 ET/4:30 PT which is when KPHO-TV Phoenix dumped the net and went to their scheduled local newscast (at 5:30 MT).

Did CBS west coast stay on with golf until 5:00 PT?

I guess there's no place that "civilians" could find such info on a CBS website, is there?
 
I believe CBS always does this...the east coast starts prime time at 7:00 ET, but the Golf Channel picks up the end of the event, and it's simulcast for west coast CBS stations. Been going on for a while.
 
WWMT puts news at 6:30PM on Sundays for years which I don't get and have the Nightly News ABC, CBS at 6PM. Wood TV doesn't air NBC News on the weekend deciding to put news on for a full hour on the weekend since 95.
 
CBS has been dealing with weather the past few weeks of golf coverage, so they have had to run over, plus they are on the west coast so the window is longer.
 
KIMA dumped golf for an infomercial even when the final hole hadn't been finished. Their Facebook page has a complaint from a viewer.
 
I wasn't sure what was going on. When I added a show to record, I was told five shows recording at once was not possible. The second half of "60 Minutes" always records because that's when "Jeopardy" is on most nights, so when the CBS show "God Friended Me" was cancelled, my only option was to cancel something else, use another TiVo, and "Watch Live" on the channel with "60 Minutes", which was over by the time I started, but TiVo saves 30 minutes when it is possible. At some point I realized I could record and I set the other CBS affiliate to do that. I don't even remember why I was willing to have a gap, but there wasn't one. I started the recording on the other CBS station and I was in the middle of "60 Minutes".
