Sunday Morning Show To Be Pre-empted In NE?

Wow...my Sunday morning rituals (and I'm NOT talking about going to church here) will be entirely upended by Irene in New England. Chances are all the Sunday morning talk shows will be preempted by Boston TV stations and channel 9 in Manchester. "Meet the Press" probably won't be on MSNBC at 2:00 pm Eastern time; maybe in the overnight. ABC's "This Week" and CBS's "Face the Nation" will also be blacked out. OK, this happens in winter when it snows heavily on a Sunday, so I should be able to get over it. And Howie Kurtz's "Reliable Sources" was going to be on hiatus anyway. It may be all moot if the electricity goes out and I have to rely on (gasp) RADIO!
 
Well considering what Irene is doing to places like Philly & NYC, this shouldn't be a surprise to any Bostonian

As for Meet The Press not being on MSNBC, that will only be in the event they are in hurricane coverage mode themselves (It should still be seen south of the Carolinas on the East Coast & elsewhere in America on the main NBC network though)

Cheers :D
 
These Sunday talk shows are either taped on Saturday or are live on Sunday in Washington, D.C. Either way, I doubt anyone will be in the studios considering the hurricane is passing almost over D.C.
 
It'll be long gone from D.C. by the time the shows air. ABC has already said there will be three live feeds of This Week.
 
They all podcast thankfully, so if you get to a computer you can get them that way. Usually FTN also has a WCBS rebroadcast on the radio but I don't see that happening, and there is a slight possibility that MTP will still re-air on NBC's "All Night" block as usual (slight as it depends on local pre-emptions, of course). And Fox News Sunday (not mentioned) will likely have their FNC re-airs dead for the weekend.
 
CBS tweeted that this week's "Face The Nation" broadcast was indeed available in on-demand video form. Also, a previous tweet from CBS advertised "FTN" as being "live" - at least for this past weekend, anyway.
