TAR 24 Scheduling-Airing Times-Delays
Mister RC:
I think if Survivor stayed on Sunday, it would have aired on the 18th (and TAR would've landed on 5/11 conflicting with Mother's Day events). While I hate waiting longer than typical (in the event something happens, which, whatever), for those that do TARcon or something during the finale (in place of that if it's even happening) they'll be with family and still get to stick to their finale plans.
Sucks that it'll only be a one-hour finale though (that really sucked for the AR11 finale)
theschnauzers:
The fact that Survivor started the Wednesday after TAR this spring was due to the Sochi Games. And the end game in the May sweeps and the fact that Memorial Day weekend leaves only three weekends in May for sweeps had everything to do with the untraditional scheduling for Survivor's finale.
In other news, a heads up about this coming Sunday on CBS:
Per the CBS Eye-lert:
--- Quote ---CBS Sports live coverage of NCAA Basketball on Sunday could possibly delay start times for 60 Minutes, The Amazing Race, The Good Wife, and The Mentalist.
--- End quote ---
Mister RC:
CBS is disclosing their tip-times for Sunday. It's a 5:15 start for UNC vs. Iowa State. Basically a 2-hr run in real time equates to a blowout/quick game. So expect the Sunday line-up to start very, very late (later than usual). With delays three times in the next four weeks, I'm a little baffled as to why CBS won't emulate their autumn double-header schedule to have 60 Minutes set to start at 7:30 at the earliest.
theschnauzers:
Mister RX, if the Round of 64 these past two days are any indication, those times may be generous.
There have been a record six overtime games in these two days (and there were only two such games throughout the entire 2012 and 2013 tournaments). And you can count on one hand, literally, how many games were not close (four of the first 31 as I type this and the last game in San Diego is about 6 minutes left but isn't a blow out, either.)
So people need to monitor the situation, and I promise to post as we get close to the normal TAR air time on the east coast feed. The local station for me is the "local" home station for one of the teams in the Iowa State-North Carolina game which is the last one on CBS that afternoon, so I will not be able to avoid knowing about any runovers in the tournament.
