No, they usually pre-empty "The List" whenever WFTS-TV or other Scripps stations has a weekday special that is at the same time as "The List", or affiliates forcing The List to be pre-emptied, for a extended (1-hour) national newscast, usually ABC World News, incase of a special report earlier in the day, it happened during the Orlando shootings, I guess?

Can't these people watch Bachelor on the ABC Apps? If RTV 6 based on accuweather and National Weather service say that part of the Indianapolis area is facing a threat by a storm then they have to go with whatever evidence was available at the time.
In some cases they're probably dealing with some people who don't even know what a phone app is, and they would probably have a hissy fit if their favorite soap was interrupted as well. Although I think some stations can go overboard with coverage when there isn't a tornado warning, this was a legitimate time for interrupting the show.

Chicago Stations Work Fast to Cover Cubs Victory Parade

I could hear non-Cubs fans complaining about missing The Price is Right, The View, Kathie Lee & Hoda, etc.

WVUE a Raycom owned Fox Affiliate almost decided to preempt the World Series for a Senate Debate in Louisiana.
pretty sure the national programming got pushed to the subchannels of each network
http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_581a9d33e4b01a82df64c149?section=politics For those who are outside of Louisiana. All the Raycom owned stations in that state had to air the Louisiana Senate debates. From the reviews I'm seeing here is that the Louisiana debates are crazier than the national presidential debates. In the case of WVUE the Fox Affiliate that's owned by Raycom television they had to air the debates after the World Series from what I've seen in some articles. This Senate debate in Louisiana is giving a PR nightmare for the Raycom stations in that state due to one of the candidates having ties to the KKK and Trump. Compounded by the debate taking place on Dillard University a historical Black College in Louisiana and the media and students for some reason was not allowed to watch the debates in the auditorium.
I'm not sure how Raycom television will recover from this fiasco for now?
Did other stations across the country ever have to pre-empt programming because the local stations in your state had to air a local debate such as a Mayoral seat, city council seat, county council seat, state congressional seat and governors seat? In fact that did happen in Sacramento where KXTV had to air the mayoral debates for Sacramento City government, KVIE had to air a congressional seat for Sacramento county, KCRA had to air senate debates for California.

Here are all the debates that aired in the Sacramento Area. Some debates were also aired on other California TV stations when it came to the senate debates.
Was this true in other places where a local debate Pre-empted national programming or pre-empted local news in your area.

The last 2 Sundays Minneapolis KSTP (ABC) pre-empted "youtube for old people" errr funniest home videos for congressional debates in 3 heated races. One of which, the 8th congressional district) has the distinction of being the 2nd most spent money by outside groups on slam ads in the US. (Nevada District 3 is the most right now)
By the way...the 2nd most money spent on Congressional in 2014? Yep District 8 in MN (2016 is a rematch of 2014)
Seems like every other ad on TV is political in nature, between presidential, US House, and State House races (both Trump and Clinton have Michigan as a key state and both the US House and State House districts I live in are very competitive)
The stations do not have to air the debates you mention. They do it because they think it is important to do so.
From what I can gather here is that stations will air a local debates whenever they obtain poll data showing that the congressional race, senate race, mayoral, gubernatorial races, and county seats are competitive and the donors are pouring money to that political seat. That was true for the local debates I seen in my area.
Candidates for N.C. governor debated October 11. I think every station in the state aired this. Which is ridiculous. Pick one station in each market. I should have investigated whether the "Jeopardy" episode I missed is available somewhere because I can't be sure that one will be one of the Saturday reruns.
last night, the NASCAR race at Texas Motor Speedway was moved from the schedule network to broadcast the race NBC to it's cable sister network NBCSN (due to rain in North Texas pushing the start of the race to 6 PM due to the rain and the long track drying process at TMS) because NBC airs Sunday Night Football and Football is more important then the final 3 races of the NASCAR season , however, in the DFW area, KXAS NBC 5, the local NBC station moved the coverage (by simulcasting NBCSN's coverage of the race) to it's 5.2 subchannel so those in North Texas who don't have NBCSN could see the race.
On [Dec. 19, 2010, WCIV is] preempting the ABC movie The Santa Clause 2, a Christmas themed moviefor their own movie, Magic in the Water (not a Christmas themed movie).
It's a family movie. These types of films are usually shown around the holidays.
