News on FOX Stations tonight?

I was just curious. How many FOX stations ran their news after the conclusion of the All-Star Game? Here in Hartford it seems like FOX 61 was caught off guard. Following the conclusion of coverage of the game they ran a promo for a cute baby contest they're co-sponsoring with their co-owned newspaper The Hartford Courant, then they ran a 90 second Promo for 2 1/2 Men, a 60 Second Promo for Family Guy, and started another 90 second promo for 2 1/2 Men before cutting it off fading to black for a few seconds and then starting The FOX Connecticut News at 11 at 12:20AM.
 
Are you sure it wasn't a tape of their 10 pm news? Actually, did WCCT-TV channel 20 (a.k.a. WTXX-TV for some) air their news at 10 pm?

No. WCCT did not air the 10PM News. Southpark was on as scheduled. And furthermore I know WCCT always rebroadcasts the FOX 61's 11PM news at 1AM, but was it really necessary for them to do so last night considering the FOX 61 11PM news start at 1220AM and ended at 1250AM?

It should also be noted to get back on scheduled from 12:50AM-1AM FOX 61 ran 10 straight mins of commercials and extended promos for FG and Men. Then Malcom in the Middle started at 1AM as is the norm.
 
With the thunderstorms in my area I wanted to see the weather so I set TiVo to record the news and then added an hour just in case, They did start about midnight even though the listings said 11.

Yeah, I could see the radar loop on other stations but those stations almost never say how hot it was. My Fox station does.
 
We were live at 11:05. FOX really should have started coverage at 6:30 (7:30 ET), with a first pitch around 7:00 (8:00 ET).
