Just got word that there will be not one...not two...but THREE hours of The Price Is Right on November 22, Thanksgiving Day for most of the US:

Here is the rundown per CBS:

Eastern Time Zone Stations:
9:00AM-12NOON CNYT THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE
2:00N-12:30PM CNYT LOCAL NEWS
12:30-1:30PM CNYT THE PRICE IS RIGHT
1:30-2:30PM CNYT THE PRICE IS RIGHT
2:30-3:30PM CNYT THE PRICE IS RIGHT
3:30-4:00PM CNYT THE NFL TODAY
4:00-7:30PM CNYT NFL ON CBS

Central Time Zone Stations:
8:00-11:00AM CT THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE
11:00AM-12:00N CT THE PRICE IS RIGHT
12:00N-12:30PM CT LOCAL NEWS
12:30-1:30PM CT THE PRICE IS RIGHT
1:30-2:30PM CT THE PRICE IS RIGHT
2:30-3:00PM CT THE NFL TODAY
3:00-6:30PM CT NFL ON CBS

Mountain Time Zone Stations:
7:00-10:00AM MT THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE
10:00-11:00AM MT THE PRICE IS RIGHT
11:00-11:30AM MT LOCAL NEWS
11:30AM-12:30PM MT THE PRICE IS RIGHT
12:30-1:30PM MT THE PRICE IS RIGHT
1:30-2:00PM MT THE NFL TODAY
2:00-5:30PM MT NFL ON CBS

West Coast Stations Please Note:
Due to special holiday scheduling, THE PRICE IS RIGHT will be preempted for West Coast stations. Your Daytime schedule will be:
9:00AM-12:00N CPT THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE
12:00N-12:30PM CPT LOCAL NEWS
12:30-1:00PM CPT THE NFL TODAY
1:00-4:30PM CPT NFL ON CBS

One of the 3 episodes will more than likely be the Wednesday (10/17) ep that was interrupted. Wouldn't be surprised if Mr. Bush calls two more press conferences within the next month and pre-empts or interrupts another 2 episodes of TPIR.

/He always could interrupt Y&R for a change...
//Or what about Guiding Light???

Holy....someone went TPIR overload. I mean...I'm a fan and all, and TPIR is a good show again...and Drew's good....but wow. That's a little crazy.

And the West gets completely shafted.

I have a feeling that, since my CBS affil. has no noon news, they'll put Wheel in the noon slot that day, and the normal double-runs of Mill and J on the sister indie station could be preempted for the first runs.

Then again, you'll never know what will happen on this affiliate when it comes to scheduling... this fall's lineup has at least 75% time changes compared to last.

It's not a bad idea - with the hype about Drew, this will be the first chance a lot of working folks have had to see him.

Oh, wait...
"not gonna happen???"

I know it never happens.... but why *doesn't* the President give speeches in the afternoon?

The best way I can explain it is because most reporters have deadlines to edit & publish their stories for their respective media, hence, you'll always see Bush on at mid-mornings(generally around 10 AM or 11 AM Eastern). Besides, most major news stories usually take place sometime between about 8 AM-8PM Eastern. The morning shows are basically news oriented anyways, so if a story breaks, they simply cut right to the story either after an interview or a segment featuring the weather. From 8PM on, it's up to the networks to decide what warrants breaking news. If they put Bush on in the afternoon, that'll get some soap fans angry. Besides, how many Americans actually watch that stuff lately in this age of dual working households.

As for TPIR being on Turkey Day, this is a good chance for many working Americans to see Drew in action. I think the episodes will most likely be re-runs if the West Coast isn't getting any.

If it was Dora the Explorer, yes definitely. This, I dunno.

It seems the president has always chosen the 11AM hour to do press conferences. I can remember an episode of the Dawson Feud in which someone sent a letter to the White House during the Carter Administration about why they held press conferences when Feud was airing. The White House actually responded and there response was read by Richard. Maybe I'm guessing that the press conference has the chance to make it onto the Noon news.

I think someone mentioned there earlier that the reason why the news conferences and speeches are chosen for 11AM is mainly for the west coast's benefit -- they follow the morning news shows in the Rockies (9AM), and seen during the morning shows on the Pacific Coast (8AM).

Figures, 3 TPIR episodes on Thanksgiving Day when i'm home from College and they won't air on the West Coast. Oh well, at least there's GSN and all of the other shows on the air.
