They preempted that for this?
- Thread starter Stanislav
- Start date
Not confirmed yet, but a Week 2 of Monday Night Football on CBS is most likely ahead. The NFL has moved the Denver vs New England gane to Monday which was scheduled as one of 2 late afternoon Sunday games. Which means Big Brother gets the 10pm slot, the One Day At A Time and Manhunt premieres get pushed back one more week.
The games are spaced too close together. Why couldn't Marlins-Braves have started at noon instead of 2 p.m.? Daytime is daytime, the audience isn't going to be great but fans of the two teams wouldn't be greatly inconvenienced by the earlier start. Then start Astros-A's at 4, Yankees-Rays at 7:30 or even 8. Padres-Dodgers is on MLB Network, so who would care if it started at 11 or 11:30?
I haven't seen any reports of Broncos/Pats airing on CBS, but as the first of an ESPN doubleheader.
Bills/Titans on Tuesday is confirmed to be on CBS, but what time? Some are saying 6 ET, others 7 ET.
7pm Eastern/6 Central on CBS. The Denver/NE game is on ESPN
The NFL announced today the following scheduling changes for Week 5:
The Denver Broncos at New England Patriots game will be played on Monday, October 12 at 5:00 p.m. ET on ESPN.
The Buffalo Bills at Tennessee Titans game will be played on Tuesday, October 13 at 7:00 p.m. ET on CBS.
These scheduling decisions were made to ensure the health and safety of players, coaches and game day personnel and in consultation with medical experts.
Should the Buffalo-Tennessee game be played on Tuesday night, the Week 6 Kansas City Chiefs at Buffalo Bills game scheduled for Thursday, October 15 will be moved to later in the weekend.

Hmmm. Might it be fallout from CBS taking audience away from MNF this week? Not sure what the contract says.
The Tuesday matchup is weaker than Broncos/Pats. If I had a choice, that's the one I'd want.
I dont know if KMNF screwed up and got the east coast feed instead of the "1 hour delayed" feed yesterday because at 11am it was a "hard cut" into the match (no preview or nothing like it use to be) and at 1pm they signed off. So KMNF showed Kelly an hour earlier and then showed Drew at 2 (common sense would be to put Drew in at 1 and keep Kelly at 2)
I'm sure it was a "make good" with ESPN
If Titans players keep testing positive the game wont happen
correct
If the Buffalo/Tennessee game goes thru on Tuesdays then no Thursday Night Football (the game gets moved to Sunday)
If the Buffalo/Tennessee game is postponed due to more positive tests then Thursday Night Football is a go
FYI all negative tests today.

But now the Jets have a positive test and all players have been sent home. Their home game against Arizona on Sunday is in jeopardy. How much longer until the NFL pulls the plug, and who will have the final word on that: the league or television? The league may be too big to fail, both in its own eyes and in the eyes of its network partners, who stand to suffer huge losses if the league aborts its season.
The NFL is still a license to print money. They will shift games around as needed for the rest of the season, including adding a Week 18 in January if need be. The networks, especially CBS and Fox, will never allow the league to completely shut down.
all Jets personnel test negative today

What began as an uncertain situation for the Jets organization has now been determined to be nothing more than a close call.
New York announced Friday evening that all of its players, coaches and personnel have tested negative for COVID-19 hours after NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported that one of its players received a presumed positive test result.
Friday night was the South Carolina Senators Debate, which aired live out of WSPA's studio from 7-8 PM Eastern on all Nexstar-owned stations that reach SC. The following programming was pre-empted on the following stations:
Savannah, GA - WSAV NBC 3: Friday's episodes of Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! bumped to 1:00 and 1:30 AM Monday, replacing The Very Vera Show (a syndicated southern cooking show that's mostly carried in southern states; WSAV also airs it Sundays at 7:00 AM) and an infomercial. Saturday's Wheel is unaffected at 7:00 PM, while Saturday's Jeopardy! is bumped to 1:02 AM Sunday after SNL due to College Football.
Charlotte, NC - WMYT My 12: Two episodes of Two and a Half Men pre-empted entirely.
Augusta, GA/Aiken, SC - WJBF ABC 6: Local news is at 7:00. Entertainment Tonight is pre-empted, but it repeats overnight, at 2:01 AM in this case, possibly a bit later due to NBA overrunning.
Asheville, NC/Greenville, SC - WSPA CBS 7: No programming affected; local news airs at 7:00 and 7:30.
Charleston, SC - WCBD NBC 2: Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! moved to 2.2 CW+, replacing Family Guy x 2.

Florence/Myrtle Beach, SC - WBTW CBS 13: Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! moved to 13.2 MyTV/Antenna TV, replacing Archie Bunker's Place x 2.

I saw it streaming on the WJZY website but didn’t realize WMYT aired it. Guess they wanted it as a lead-in to the News Nation preview.
WSPA has had their 7pm local news preempted twice in a month and could be a third if the Titans tests come back negative. They've already bumped it for Patriots-Chiefs and the South Carolina Senators Debate this week.
This hardly seems fair. My motel room's cable in Myrtle Beach doesn't have this channel. I'm guessing anyone who lives there also doesn't have it in the standard package, but the motels could be different. And WBTW is on VHF, so few people in Myrtle Beach can get it with an antenna. I'm going to assume the situation is the same in Charleston.
Its in basic cable. Its up at 1215 which is where Spectrum puts the subs in that market apparently

I assume you went around and asked a ton of people if they have issues with WBTW to make that assessment.
They showed this pretty cool graphic at the beginning of the broadcast showing what stations around the state were carrying it. That's how I knew, since some of them didn't have it listed. https://i.imgur.com/gZ4hY6W.jpg
