well, this Friday will be first of many ABC Programming preemptions on WFAA in Dallas as Dallas Mavericks vs. Boston Celtics will preempt this week's edition of 20/20 on WFAA and Shark Tank will air after the game (i checked what will air on WABC in New York, NY & KLTV in Tyler scheduled for a Dallas/New York & Tyler for comparison for what will air in the time slot). this is the first Local Dallas Mavs game broadcast on WFAA since they signed that deal with the Mavs to air a few games for the remainer of the season.
 
Today and tomorrow High School Hockey is on WDIO/WIRT ABC 10/13 Duluth/Hibbing, MN
Tonight is the 7A Championship
All programming from 7-10 gets put on after late night programming (1:06am)

Thursday is the 7AA Championship
American Idol is on at 1:06am and Will Trent at 3:07am
 
I just happened to notice on zap2it that WSOC just randomly decided to bump American Idol to WAXN tonight. Zap2it didn’t show what WSOC was airing but they are airing a Black History and a primary special. At least this time they had enough sense to preempt reruns. AI, in turn, preempts Family Feud which isn’t rescheduled.

Here in Phoenix, KPNX (NBC) is preempting the Law and Order rerun scheduled to air after the State of the Union to air an expanded 94-minute 12News cast. Interesting seeing on many occasions here when primetime ends early whether it's because the network's airing a sporting event or in this case news, stations here love to do expanded newscasts, barring new network programming airing of course, although KNXV (ABC), a station that does this practice a lot, isn't prempting a Celebrity Wheel of Fortune rerun before their 10PM newscast. ICYW, due to the Republican Response & the delay to the start of SOTU, KNXV joined Celebrity Wheel of Fortune rerun in progress during a commercial break, looked like they synced it up 2 airing a couple of local ads after coverage ended & joining in once an ad during that show started.

Tomorrow night, WFAA (ABC in Dallas, TX) is airing the Mavericks game vs. the Bulls at 7pm. The pregame is at 6:30pm preempting Entertainment Tonight, which will not re-air overnight. The Bachelor, however, will air overnight at 2:11 (preempting the ET repeat, ABC World News Tonight repeat and ABC World News Now). 20/20 doesn't seem to be on the schedule. I guess THAT'S not airing overnight either.
 
The Mavericks will also air on March 21st against the Jazz at 7:30. Grey's Anatomy will air overnight at 2:11, but not 9-1-1 or Station 19. ET will still air at 6:30 but the 2:11 repeat will not air. Neither will the ABC World News Tonight repeat at 2:41. ABC World News Now will air as scheduled at 3:11.
 
WBZ will be airing a half-hour edition of PAA this Friday at 7pm ET which is Wheel's time slot whereas WoF airs at its regular time on WSBK replacing the first half-hour episode of TBBT but the real chances are that my Bell Fiber Op might opt to switch WSBK to CTV 2 Atlantic to simsub TBBT because I've seen that happen before.

Jeopardy will air at its regular time on the main WBZ channel following PAA.
 
The NCAA March Madness tournament is airing on CBS this week and next week which means both Wheel and Jeopardy airing on Thursday and Friday nights during the tournament will be either moved or preempted in many U.S. markets including Boston but since WBZ is airing NCAA March Madness since it is a CBS O&O station, they are moving both Wheel and J! over to WSBK during the NCAA tournament but the real chances are that my Bell Fiber Op might opt to switch WSBK over to CTV 2 Atlantic to simsub "The Big Bang Theory" in place of the former since I've seen that happen before. I remember that as last year when WSBK chose to air TBBT instead of Wheel during the NCAA March Madness tournament when my Bell Fiber Op switched WSBK to simsub CTV 2 Atlantic. Let's just hope it doesn't happen again this year.
