WKRC pre-empts LMAD for a Cincinnati Reds Opening Day special.
 
   Do you know of any other stations preempting games today for baseball?

Yes.  ESPN preempting their games for a simulcast of ESPNEWS.  Oh wait, that's MLB's blackout rules.

Carry on.

That's...odd, didn't think too many CBS affiliates carried baseball teams but hey.

(or perhaps more accurately "still")

WJZ in Baltimore carries the Sunday afternoon Orioles games, usually, and some others I think. They are still simulcast on MASN at the time but for those without cable it's a nice way to see them

edit: Meant to say CW/MyNetwork affiliates, which arent really relevant to this discussion I guess..



I am seeing this last weekend that the Harrisburg/Lebanon/York, Pa.  CBS/CW affiliates were carrying Phillies Baseball (On the Roku-USTV Now)
