They preempted that for this?

[ftballfan]

Do cable viewers in east Arkansas and north Mississippi get an additional NBC affiliate, or do they have to be outside the Memphis SMSA for that to happen?

Some areas on the outskirts of the Memphis market may get one of the following, either OTA or on cable:
KAIT-DT2 (Jonesboro) - its OTA signal gets close to Memphis
KARK (Little Rock)
WNBD (Greenwood)
WPSD (Paducah)
WTVA (Tupelo)

This preempts Leicester-Manchester City on NBC, as well as the first part of the Ironman Triathlon.

Again I ask....how is this Inexplicable????? I understood inexplicable as "unable to be explained or accounted for."

Its the LOCAL team on the LOCAL station. Its no different than during the college football season when North Dakota State Bison (for the last 7 or 8 years) have pre-empted NBC programming on KVLY (including Notre Dame games) to show NDSU football or other football teams pre-empting network programming to show the LOCAL team

Now if they decided to pre-empt it for a paid program....yeah then I would agree

There's also WNBJ-LD in Jackson, TN, but they still aren't carried by Charter Cable. I think it's mainly because Charter won't carry a low power station, even if it's on a Big 4 network. They're on JEA Cable though.

Now if they decided to pre-empt it for a paid program....yeah then I would agree

That's probably what WMC will carry instead of the remainder of the triathlon.

The Notorious WSB is at it again, preempting the winter finale of "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D" tonight (12/6) for another of their so-called "investigative" specials.

WSOC-TV aired "9 Investigates", which they often do. TiVo found "Last Man Standing" and "Dr. Ken" for me the next day. However, I should have remembered earlier this week when I was at a library where I could watch video. They cut off Mike's vlog in the middle before they even got to the credits. I don't know how such a mistake could have been made. Thhey just went right into "Dr. Ken" from there. At home, my Internet is so slow that Youtube is a site made up of black boxes that don't do anything.

By John Carmody March 22, 1990

[WUSA] Channel 9 last night preempted Part IV of a five-part "Wiseguy" arc in favor of a 1980 movie called "The Ninth Configuration." Vice president, broadcast operations Sandra Butler-Jones said the movie had been scheduled long before the station was aware of the continuing story on "Wiseguy," called "the Lynchboro arc" which began in mid-February ...

She said the station had sought to broadcast it at midnight last night on a delayed basis but that the network had balked (we'd guess the declining ratings of "The Pat Sajak Show" had something to do with that) ...

Butler-Jones said yesterday, "I really feel badly" about the preemption for the local movie, one of a series that she said is placed in the primetime schedules about once every three months by WUSA ...

Not a preemption, but was it really necessary to have the first NFL wild card playoff game (Raiders-Texans) air on both ABC and ESPN? Seems like an inexplicable waste of Disney resources to me. Why not one or the other (preferably on ABC--and perhaps ESPN could have carried an extra college basketball game or two).

The first year, it was on just ESPN, but I imagine the NFL wanted it on broadcast...

 

[KML0224]

This was done on wildcard weekend last year as well (ABC and ESPN).

Friday (1/6), The Notorious WSB struck again, as they hit their late news two hours earlier at 9:00 pm, devoting all of it to snow coverage...while at the same time, pissing off many "Shark Tank" and "20/20" fans who had to stay up till 2:05 in the morning for their beloved shows!!!

Over on WGCL, snow also bumped "Young and the Restless" to 1:35 am after James Corden (usually, it would be the late news repeat).

Well very important if you are in San Francisco where the Raiders are big and may be their final seasons in the Bay Area until the Las Vegas Move is approved.

It's no different than when the Viacom Networks show the awards shows on all their networks. And then also Saturday USA, Bravo, and E! all ran the Pilot episode of "This is Us" at 1PM Easten. (USA aired the first 10 episodes).

Even if the game had been on both ABC and ESPN the game would have aired on an OTA station in the Oakland/San Fransisco DMA as the NFL requires cable only games to be shown OTA in the participating teams markets. If the game had not been on both networks ABC would have been the odd network out as ESPN has rights to one wild card game a year and ABC does not show regular season college basketball games anymore so more than likely without the football game the station would have shown infomercials.

Not inexplicable, but worth sharing here:

**PROGRAMMING ALERT** — STEELERS-CHIEFS PLAYOFF GAME ON NBC THIS SUNDAY, JANUARY 15, MOVED TO 8:20 P.M. ET

Per the NFL’s announcement earlier today, the AFC Divisional playoff game featuring the Pittsburgh Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., will now be played this Sunday, January 15, at 8:20 p.m. ET, on NBC. The game, which was originally-scheduled for January 15 at 1:05 p.m. ET, was moved due to public safety concerns in light of a forecasted storm for the Kansas City area this weekend.

Coverage of Steelers-Chiefs will now begin Sunday at 7:30 p.m. ET on NBC with Football Night In America.

This bumps a repeat of The New Celebrity Apprentice and back-to-back new episodes of Dateline.

yeah, game is getting a delay by a few hours due to a possibly crippling ice storm that's about to hit the Kansas City Metro area. in fact The Weather Channel has named it "Winter Storm Jupiter". it's gonna be a long weekend for that part of the country. Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, a few counties of Nebraska, parts of Texas Panhandle, and parts of Illinois are in the bullseye of the worst as those are the states are under "Ice Storm Warning" right now.

Ironically, the game has been postponed to NBC's usual SNF time slot during the regular season (so this will be the last SNF on NBC until Sept. 10).

And depending on how the ratings for tomorrow night's rescheduled game goes, can you eventually foresee the last playoff game of the Wild Card and Division round weekends ending up on SNF's time slot (and on NBC) in future seasons?

Not the Wild Card, because of the Golden Globes.

 

[danderson6500]

Don't see why they can't have that game on ABC/ESPN.

 

[anotherguyTN]

I also don't see why the Golden Globes couldn't be rescheduled like other awards shows have when they conflicted with a major sporting event.

 

[danderson6500]

I do remember a few years ago, when CBS had a Chiefs-Chargers game that had a lot of playoff implications, cut into the Kennedy Center Honors. But since that was on tape, it wasn't a big deal.

If NBC did have the Golden Globes, and a overtime game took place, that would be a nightmare. But does the NFL require CBS and NBC(and FOX too) to stay with a game till the end?

 

[ThePowerCow]

Yes. Look up "The Heidi Game".
