Masters/CBS Evening News

O

oldiesfan6479

Was there an ET/CT feed of the CBS Evening News tonight (April 10)?

Masters Golf coverage was scheduled to 7 ET and I believe it actually ran
a few minutes over. Was there a shortened 'cast to 7:30 and/or a full one
at 7:30 ET?

I know they did the left coast feeds--I just saw a full show at 6 PT on
KPHO-TV Phoenix. The breaks were all "PI spots" and the odd thing was
a live(?) tag to his story by Bill Plante in front of the White House about
ten minutes into the show. If it was live in the first coast feed at approx.
5:40 PT, it would have been dark in Washington at 8:40 ET (sunset at DCA
was 7:39 tonight), but it was in sunlight, so the tag was either recorded
earlier or there was an earlier feed for somewhere...Mountain?

BTW, I checked two MT markets on zap2it.com (DEN and SLC) and neither
CBS affil had a net newscast scheduled for today.
 
There was no feed on the East Coast. My two local
CBS affiliates went to "Wheel Of Fortune" (WFMY) and
local news (WRAL) after golf coverage ended, and I'm
sure WCBS went to "Entertainment Tonight."

There will be no East Coast feed tonight, either. Coverage
is scheduled to end at 7 (ET), followed by "60 Minutes,"
which, of course, will be shown in its entirety if golf runs
past 7.
 
Anyone notice how abruptly the Masters coverage ended? It ended with Phil Mickelson being congratulated by Jim Nantz for winning the Masters; that shot faded and led to a "CBS: America's Most Watched Network" bumper, followed by a couple of minutes of commercials, and then, "60 Minutes" started. No closing credits or anything. Mind you, this was about ten minutes past 7 PM ET.
