At 8:59 AM they signed off went to commercial and started the show all over again. Three minutes later without warning they went to the regularly scheduled show. Someone forget to throw a switch?

Yeah, I was wonderin the same thing. I was watching at 6:50ish and they did an Early Show preview. They were supposed to go to The Early Show at 7 but instead they kept going until 7:30.

For whatever reason, The Saturday Early Show is live from 7am-9am. Stations air it 7am-9am, 8am-10am, or 9am-11am. Most, I believe air it 9am-11am. My guess is the wrong feed was picked-up. But you've also got weird scheduling this week because of tennis.

 

Why they don't air live 9am-11am is beyond me. It would seem to make more sense as Sunday Morning and Face the Nation air 9am-11am Sundays.

It could've been some technical control room glitch. Or perhaps someone wasn't there to switch it to the programming that airs after that show. :p

CBS carries the US Open tennis tournament...CBS-2 News is supposed to be on from 9-10am, but I guess since tennis was coming on they put the childrens programming on because they need to get it in.

 

I have no idea why The Early Show would have come on again, but I did see that happen, but I switched to NewsChannel4.

In the west coast, the program is on from 5am-7am PT. This, and the fact that it's not run live at 9am ET is in part because of children's programming that follows (usually) from 10am-1pm ET.
