Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: How often does the NFL cause CBS or FOX to cut a show from the lineup?

My understanding with CBS is that CBS and Fox picked their policies because of their big Sunday night shows. CBS wanted to always air 60 Minutes in its entirety, Fox wanted to be consistent about broadcasting the first-run episode of The Simpsons at 8:00. On Thu, Jul 7, 2016 at 8:10 PM, Jim

It's also fatigue by they time the Olympics get here. Since the 100 day out mark our local NBC affiliate has been pumping the Olympics nonstop. Even the "sports" report that I watched at 11:00 last week. The only tape that they showed was swimming qualifying rounds. No baseball coverage at all,

NBC did show "Our House" and "Magical World of Disney" in its entirety after NFL(and i can recall a few times when they did that for golf too. did they ever do that with baseball?) Has ABC ever had to delay or preempt part of a show for NASCAR when they had it? On Friday, July 1, 2016 at

Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: How often does the NFL cause CBS or FOX to cut a show from the lineup?

I heard that it has to do with the affiliate ownership. The Fox stations are independent so they want the local news at 10pm no matter what. Fox will always preempt shows, although having "The OT" as a buffer makes it less likely. More CBS affiliates are "owned and operated" so CBS can push back

Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: The 'American Gladiators' remember

Agreed re: syndication but I would strongly disagree that '89-'93 were weak years for SNL; in fact, I'd argue the opposite - '89-'93 was SNL at it's most relevant since the original NRFPTP era. It was 1994 when things started going downhill again. On Thursday, July 7, 2016 at 12:33:26 PM

[TV orNotTV] Re: How often does the NFL cause CBS or FOX to cut a show from the lineup?

Why is it though, when a game runs long sometimes they join a show in progress, but sometimes show the full show? NBC was inconsistent about that, but CBS has always shown 60 Minutes in full. On Friday, July 1, 2016 at 6:25:15 AM UTC-4, daniel anderson wrote: > > was thinking of last year when
