The Seattle market has been part of Vancouver/Victoria for decades. However, very little programming is aimed at British Columbia, mainly due to little revenue gain across the border. However, someone is making some money. Hmm., I wonder who.
 
Note that Monday Night Football was delayed an hour on KOMO (and its
sister station in Portland, KATU), airing at 7 instead of 6 (PT). That no
doubt created havoc among Seattle-area listeners who could hear the CBS
radio broadcast live at 6 while on their way home from work. I suppose the
solution was to wait an hour after getting home, then turning on Ch. 4 to see
the rest of the game. IIRC, the delay was because Fisher Broadcasting was
determined to get its local news in, but the practice of delaying was later abandoned.

Face it: people want their sports events live, else the NFL wouldn't feed games to CBS
and Fox's Pacific affiliates at 10 AM on Sunday, and even when there's a nationally-
televised NCAA game at 12 N (ET), it airs live in Honolulu at 7 AM.
 
Notice the one--hour delay of Monday-night football on Ch. 4
(and its sister station in Portland, KATU), a move made, IIRC,
because Fisher Broadcasting was intent on getting in its local news.
That must have played havoc for Seattle-area commuters who could
listen to the CBS radio broadcast at 6 while on the way home from work;
I suppose the solution was to wait an hour after getting home, then turning
on Ch. 4 to see the rest of the game. I seem to recall that Fisher later
abandoned the practice.

Face it, people like their sports live, else NFL games wouldn't air at 10 AM
on the West Coast, and Hawaii would not get the occasional nationally-televised
12 N (ET) NCAA game at 7 AM.
 
I remember reading about KATU still delaying MNF in the late '80s/early '90s. I don't recall seeing anything about Seattle also doing the one-hour delay, until this thread. KOMO must have stopped well before KATU.
