What is KPRC preempting?
- Thread starter rageradio
- Start date
Here were the shows that aired on NBC Saturday (9/27):
8/7c - The Voice Recap
9/8c - Global Citizen Festival
10/9c - Vintage SNL
One, two or all three of these shows were preempted in some markets:
Indianapolis (8-9 ET) Indianapolis Zoo Prize Special
Detroit (8-10 ET) The Ides of March
Houston (7-7:30 CT) News Special, (7:30-10 CT) Thelma & Louise
Nashville (7-9 CT) The Ides of March
Louisville (9-11 ET) The Ides of March
Albuquerque (9-10 MT) New Mexico Governor's Debate
This is done all over the country on low-rated nights so that stations can get more local ad money. And hey, shouldn't this be in the "Most Inexplicable Network Program Pre-Emption" thread?

Well sure, except nothing is unexpected at our senior citizen, KPRC. I'm waiting for someone to get the bright idea to preempt Sunday Night Football. I mean, it's happened to Formula One, golf, basketball, and likely other events that are escaping me right now.
I saw that, Rage. The "This" bug was there, but it didn't have the "Houston" insert underneath it. I won't complain about a movie. It certainly is better than the Time Life country CD collection Infomercial that KPRC has been running at 7pm on some Saturday nights. I haven't seen John Schneider so much since The Dukes of Hazzard was regularly airing in Houston...Good Lord!

And there's another reason: more political ads. I wouldn't be surprised to see more preemptions just so stations can get those political ads to air.
It's happening in Michigan:
