David Salter JR 66 Posted December 1, 2018 Author Share Posted December 1, 2018 4 minutes ago, ColDayNews said: The last time a President died — Ford — NBC gave the affiliates the option to run Days of our Lives and Passions in overnight hours. Same as with the Kavanaugh hearing. NBC offered a feed that went out at 7pm EDT for the affiliates to tape and run in the overnight hours or on a weekend afternoon as a make-good. because Days tapes way in advance, they aren't easily able to just push an episode back like the other soaps Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16808-george-hw-bush-dies-at-94/page/2/#findComment-217690 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mountainave 606 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 On 12/1/2018 at 1:38 AM, TriangleTriadMediaNews said: Would not be surprised to see the network morning and evening shows going with the weekday crew later on today. That's exceptionally rare and I wouldn't expect to see that happen except in the case of a major national disaster. What does happen on the weekend occasionally is the chief anchor being called in to anchor an ongoing special report for major news. But you typically don't see a weekend show's anchors being swapped for the weekday anchors at the national level. You do sometimes see it at the local level, though.

It happens where the morning people would start a report, then the main anchor comes in. I saw it on ABC a lot where Charles Gibson or Diane Sawyer would start a report, and then Peter Jennings would come in. Not sure about NBC or CBS.

Correct, though that would've been a weekday, not a weekend as was originally referenced.

WXIX took KRIV during their morning show and joined Fox News at 11:03ET. I’m just curious as to whether simulcasting the network’s affiliate was a decision made at the station level or does FOX make affiliate simulcasts/clean feeds available during breaking news if the network isn’t exactly ready to go with a special report?
