Nelson R. 560 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Are any CBS stations planning something similar to KABC's "Monday Night Live" for the Thursday Night Football games? I doubt WBTV will since the Panthers miss CBS TNF by one week. If they were on CBS TNF or happen to get the local rights for the home game vs. the Saints on NFLN I'm sure they would.

Guest Former Member 207 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 You're probably see the Pacific CBS stations do a post-game show, since the games are scheduled to end by 8:30, and those stations will be on their own for the remainder of primetime. KCBS here in Los Angeles will sometimes do a post-game show following a Chargers or preseason network telecast (they did one this past Friday night, for example), and if CBS doesn't have filler primetime programming for its West Coast stations (for instance, a 48 Hours episode), I could see it happening. Another scenario could also have CBS do its own postgame to fill-out the hour before sending the stations to local programming (NBC does this for Sunday Night Football).

24994J 5276 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 One would think they might get fed 'Evening News' at some point after the game, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Former Member 207 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 One would think they might get fed 'Evening News' at some point after the game, no? Probably not...usually if CBS airs an event live at 5pm Pacific (or within that hour), a lot of the West Coast stations would air the Evening News as a lead-in at 4:30, or take it live at 3:30.

24994J 5276 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I'll be honest, that seems to be a really stupid idea. If it's the current precedent, fine, but as an Easterner, that arrangement's weird, having it so early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the current precedent, fine, but as an Easterner, that arrangement's weird, having it so early. I always thought you were a Centraler! I doubt CBS will give filler program as it will not be seen on the east coast (game will run 8-11). They should fill it with displaced programming. So, for KCBS: 8: CBS 2 News [at 5] special edition 9: CBS 2 News [at 6] special edition 9:30: CBS Evening News 10: Insider 10:30: Entertainment Tonight They could also air news at 4pm and send Judge Judy into primetime.

channel2 869 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Here in Denver, after NBC dumps out of Sunday Night Football, KUSA will go to the local news. NBC's coverage usually ends about half an hour before 10PM. I imagine KCNC will do the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
