US Open men's tennis final to be played on Monday, yet again.

**********SPOILER ALERT************



Andy Murray, finally, won the US Open, at just past 9PM ET/6PM PT. I bet news anchors all over the West Coast are pissed by now with CBS...

I wonder if next year if syndicated talk shows (Ellen, Dr. Phil, etc.) will move their premiers to Tuesday to allow for a rain delayed US Open final or simply delay them until the next Monday? Wheel and Jeopardy have premiers next Monday. (9/17)

Dr Phil is a CBS produced show so they just delayed it a day.
Ellen is a NBC produced show and is only on a few CBS affiliates. Here in Minneapolis her MOnday show is tomorrow at 4 and the Tuesday show is at 12:37AM Wednesday

WCCO got raked across the coals because there was NOTHING on their site nor a scroll.....the only spot was on facebook

FYI, Ellen is a Warner Bros. distributed, Telepictures-produced show.

According to their Facebook posting WPRI Channel 12 in Providence, Rhode Island bumped it to their sister (or is it cousin) station Channel 64.2, which is MY TV Rhode Island. 64.1 is FOX.

WKRC in Cincinnati and WJZ in Baltimore are both CBS affiliates who are scheduled to simulcast tonight's ESPN MNF game between the Bengals and Ravens (already in progress). I assume that they've shifted US Open coverage to a digital subchannel or elsewhere?

WKRC operates a CW-affiliate subchannel (Cincy is the biggest market without a CW affiliation on a standalone signal), and of course WJZ is a CBS O&O; WUSA Washington is near-by, and depending other locations, other viewers could get either KYW Philadelphia (to the northeast) or WBOC Salisbury (to the southeast).

KYW-TV aired the match in full. They didn't even bother to put their 5-6:30 PM newscasts on their sister station WPSG-TV 57.

I haven't read the entire thread yet, but my TiVo was set to tape "2 Broke Girls" (Probably a rerun I had seen) and all I got was tennis. I taped "Mike and Molly" (if the correct episode was to air I've seen it) and got "How I Met Your Mother".

Mother".

CBS Sports went "forever" after the end of the match and didn't sign off until almost
9:30 ET/6:30 PT. By that time they were promo-ing prime time as being the four
sticoms normally scheduled 8-10 ET, so they must have run about 30 min. late in
ET/CT. Book 'em Danno got pre-empted...except KPHO-TV Phoenix did run 5-0 in
it's normal 9 PM PT slot, after the sitcoms 7-9 PT. I can't figure out how they got a feed
of the 5-0 rerun--maybe on an alternate transponder at approx. 8:30.

Did left coast stations run the original schedule--including 5-0--from 8-11 PT?
