OTA network coverage of President Carter's funeral Thursday 1/9

Are PBS and CNN the only telecasters listing "The Funeral of Jimmy Carter" or something similarly worded on the grids, in lieu of listing regular programming?

My TiVo said I recorded Hoda and then three local newscasts. I started at 10:30 after not seeing anything on the newscasts. I suppose I should have looked online. But I only recently got around to watching George Bush Sr.'s funeral. So I based my recording on that.

NewsNation also had President Carters Funeral listed in the grids but when I turned to the channel they were covering the wildfires in LA. All the local channels ABC, CBS and NBC in my area (Des Moines) said their regular programming but they aired the funeral.

Did any of you watch the Plains funeral service for President Carter? I streamed it on Youtube, it was really good.

Here is the schedule per the AP...

Here is the schedule for the final day of funeral rites for President Jimmy Carter

Here is Thursday’s schedule for the final day of rites honoring Jimmy Carter, the 39th president, who died Dec. 29.

I am particularly interested (on behalf of a family member who is a fan of The Young and the Restless who resides in the Eastern Time Zone, as do I). Will it and The Bold and the Beautiful be preempted by today's coverage of the rites? CBSNews.com isn't helping, and DIRECTV's grid is showing the normal schedule for our local Eye affil.

Both shows could've also been relegated JUST to Paramount Plus too

I wonder if the networks will split-screen with wildfire coverage. Funeral on one side, fire coverage on the other. Big parts of America's 2nd biggest metro area are on fire right now.

I doubt it

I likewise doubt the Denver stations split-screened Trump's inaguration with local coverage of the cold weather too

KABC-TV and to a certain extent Los Angeles TV stations had to either put the funeral on a tiny screen or pre-empt national coverage the funeral due to LA County and State of California giving updates over the fires.


Live Now on Fox has two feeds on their Youtube page one for KTTV's coverage of the LA Area fires and another one for Former President Carter's funeral.

Just goes to show that EVEN DURING A STATE FUNERAL, life still goes on
