NBA playoff game pre-empted in (at least) one area...Any others?

I

Iowan

Only in one area that I know about. WBQD-LP will airing today's Lakers game in the Quad Cities Area....Are there any other ABC stations pre-empting this game (and/or alternate stations like WBQD airing the game instead)?
 
Simple explanation in this case; WQAD airs a yearly telethon this time of year and WBQD is their newsshare partner, so they move the game to WBQD and they can broadcast the telethon without annoying anybody.

I'm just glad to find out that there is a station still airing a telethon and showing actual concern for their community these days rather than just sponsoring a bike ride or 5k walk or having their anchors do a 4th of July parade convertible wave and calling that 'caring for our community'.
 
At least it wasn't pre-empted for infomercials. As long and drawn out as the NBA and NHL playoffs get I wouldn't be surprised for that to happen at some time. ::)
 
Irony would be if such a sports event was pre-empted for an infomercial promoting "Heidi" on Blu-Ray Disc from Time-Life. ;D
