Possible Pre-emption alert 9/26

[MrZone]

I think most of us knew this was bound to happen after Tuesday’s announcement, and this may be the 1st of many this season.

Sorry to link politics in here, but you already know sources are needed for this one.

WATCH LIVE: @cbsnews coverage of the testimony of the Acting Director of National Intelligence before the House Intelligence Committee begins at 8:30am on CBSN and 9am on your local CBS station. https://t.co/3WAbB24qn9

For heaven's sakes, can't they just drop it already? Trump won, fair and square. Get over it, people.

That is the last you will hear from me on the matter.

And this is why I really didn’t want to post this. If you want to talk politics, take it elsewhere...not here.

[ssetta]

Do you think it will be made up? Or posted on CBS.com?

[TPIRfan#9821]

^If it's wiped out on the West Coast also, then I'd expect that it would need to be made up, and we wouldn't see it on CBS.

Screw this political BS. Honestly, outside of these morons politicians, does ANYONE actually care about this crap? I was really looking forward to this episode, but now I won't be able to watch it. My computer sucks and isn't able to watch the episode on CBS's website, so that option is out of the picture.

Seriously, this sucks. Buzz off, stupid politicians. Quit interrupting this awesome show.

I suspect more than half the country would have some interest.

[imhomerjay]

A great deal of the country has interest and should have interest because, regardless of one’s leanings, it is of great consequence.

Well, at least it's finally over. Whether or not the episode will be available online later I do not know.

A lot of people do, and should. I guarantee you more care about it than "this awesome show"... especially when "awesome" is subjective.

Since you care too much, take 60 days to get your priorities in order. I beg you.

This has nothing to do with the 2016 election.  It has to do with Trump asking a foreign government to help him smear one of his opponents in the 2020 campaign.

That is the last you will hear from me on the matter.

Oh, good.  I hate having to explain to people why they're wrong twice.

Doing God's work.

I use to not be able to stand preemptions that were of international significance, but then I turned 16.

Well, at least it's finally over. Whether or not the episode will be available online later I do not know.

It will not be. After the preemption ended an episode from February of 2018 was rerun in its place on the West Coast. What they will do to make up for it, I don't know.

This could be the beginning of a very long and arduous process that could cause many preemptions. While I don't think it'll be on the level of Watergate because of the advent of streaming things online now. This could certainly be as bad as some Bush era swaths of preemptions. Hunker down.

[imhomerjay]

Absolutely. If  the process reaches impeachment hearings stage, you’re looking at multiple weeks of large chunks of the day being news coverage. It’s just the nature of the business.

Ditto if the Senate takes up a trial. Some reports say the majority leader has said he won’t conduct a trial if it comes to that, but I’ve seen conflicting analysis of whether his agenda setting power extends that far.

Regardless, this is just the reality of where things stand at the moment.

[ooboh]

I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t care (or know) about politics and I hate preemptions to The Price is Right, but this seems pretty important and could have long-lasting ramifications.
