TAR 19 Scheduling-Airing Times-Delays
theschnauzers:
The NFL has four different packages for all of its games in the regular and championship seasons, and some pre-season games.
Two broadcast networks broadcast the games that are aired on Sunday afternoons, and can overrun into prime time. Those networks like it because it gives them a big boost in the audience ratings for their Sunday night prime time programming.
A third broadcast network gets to air a game on Sunday nights during prime time (usually kills all the other programs on broadcast or cable channels.
A fourth package is held by a cable sports channel that is affiliated with the fourth broadcast network.
I won't even attempt to explain the collage football set up for broadcasting, because all fourth networks have such arrangements on Thursdays to Saturdays, and their are some syndicated packages as well. It is so complicated it's impossible to explain. Needless to say, I can see how non-Americans can find the whole thing confusing.
apskip:
The second half of the Patriots/Raiders game just started at 554pm. That means we can expect 60 Minutes to start around 715pm unless CBS elects to continue with finishes of other games.
apskip:
At 630pm EDT the Patriots/Raiders game has 13:38 left. There is no change in my prediction.

Per CBS Eye-lert:
--- Quote ---Revised start times for tonight's CBS programs: 60 Minutes (7:22pm ET), The Amazing Race (8:22pm ET), The Good Wife (9:22pm ET) and CSI: Miami (10:22pm ET) due to CBS Sports live coverage of the NFL.
--- End quote ---
theschnauzers:
As I've mentioned previously, both CBS and FOX are having two weeks in a row for NFL doubleheaders, in part due to other sports programming -- in this case, FOX is carrying the Major League baseball playoffs and World Series for the next three weeks.
CBS has only two late games, New York Jets at New England, and San Diego at Denver. Except for most of Missouri, and small areas of nearby states (Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, South Dakota, Oklahoma, and Texas,) all of the areas getting the east coast feed are getting the Jets v. Patriots game. There are no areas subject to NFL blackout rules.
I'm sure CBS will be sending out Eye-lerts across the board this week for any overrun.
