Spring Rubber 716 Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 According to my program guide on DirecTV, on NFL doubleheader weekends, CBS's primetime now officially starts at 7:30 PM ET/6:30 CT with 60 minutes. From there on out, everything is naturally shifted back a half hour from its normal timeslot, so all of the network programs for the night start at :30 past each hour, and the late local news officially starts at 11:30 PM ET/10:30 PM ET. Maybe they should rename the late local news to the "News at 11:30" and the "News at 10:30". Still, this is a smart move by CBS; these late NFL games always run to around 7:30 PM ET anyway.

johnnya2k6 171 Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 West Coast won't need to worry, as Sunday primetime will remain from 7:00-11:00pm Pacific.
