Potus Interruptus 1/8/19

The Democrats are asking for equal time, but I'm skeptical that they'll get it (on the main networks, anyway)...

 

According to CNN this morning, NBC and CBS will air the democratic response, following.

 

My TiVo did an update this morning but the guide data doesn't show any changes. I'll force an update later to check it again. In the meantime, I'm padding everything by an hour and hoping for the best.

CBS confirmed this morning that it will be airing a response to the address (which then will delay regular television programming).

 

TiVo’s online guide data has not been updated.

 

I doubt that they would even change the guide here because 6pm is the time for national news anyway so they just leave it under the header of the usual news show.

 

I wouldn’t hold your breath for it to be, either.

 

NBC has scrapped the 9pm hour and will resume with New Amsterdam at 10.

Not sure what they’ll air in the West.

 

In Mountain i am showing NBC with a 20 minute presidential address and everything else delayed 20 minutes. It doesnt return to a normal schedule until 3 in the morning

 

My connection du jour was one of those super early (around 3am) ones so I'm thinking I might try doing another one this afternoon to see if it changes anything because that one didn't.

 

I am seeing the same thing now except in Mountain time the Presidential address is first at 7 for 30 minutes followed by 90 minutes of (2 episodes) Fox also still has the 8 minute delay

 

New guide data just popped through now (I sent a raven to TiVo via Twitter to let them know it was a few days behind) and the POTUS address is not included in the listings tonight. Pad your shows! You’ve been warned.

 

TiVo was touting a way for sports recordings to automatically pad their recordings with new start times for anything else. I'm thinking it was for the new experience. Wouldn't this fall under something like that?

I'm setting up 1 extra hour for everything anyway. Chances are they'll reshow on Saturday anyway

 

NBC is airing a re-run of Ellen's Game of Games and will join it already-in-progress when the politics are over. New Amsterdam will air as scheduled at 10:00/9:00C.

FOX is airing its programming in full after the address, with an anticipated 8 minute delay (pad your recordings, folks, it'll be more than 8 minutes).

ABC is doing the same as FOX, so pad pad pad.

CBS is scrapping new programming tonight in the 8:00 hour.

 

Above per Trump's Tuesday Border Crisis Speech: Networks to Air Democratic Response

UPDATE (12:11 pm): Fox says it still plans to air its schedule in full, while CBS is bumping its fresh episodes of FBI and NCIS: New Orleans to next week (NCIS proper remains unaffected).

UPDATE (2:25 pm): NBC will now air an Ellen’s Game of Games rerun at 9 pm and join it in progress after the news event. New Amsterdam will air as planned, at 10 pm.

UPDATE (2:58 pm): ABC plans to air its line-up (black-ish, Splitting Up Togetherand The Rookie) in its entirety following the Democratic response.

 

In the past, TiVo has not been able to handle a 1 or 2-day noticed change to its Guide.

 

Not even if they had implemented it yet. it is for the event itself not the programming after the event.
