I predict that... with the ongoing trend in Baltimore... Channel 13 (WJZ-TV) will be starting their Morning Edition as soon as The Late Late Show over at 1:35 AM.

And will they want Ferguson to tape a toss to the news team?

Well of course.  What other way would there be to do it??

Why schedule a three hours morning news propgram if you just repeat 80% of the same stories over again?

Because it's cheap. What makes it so cheap? They're running 80% of the same stories over and over again.

Because just about Nobody watches an entire morning show. The avg span that someone has the tv on while they're getting ready for their day, assuming their even watching , and not listening....

is 15 minutes.

Exactly how morning shows like GMA and Today are designed, too. I highly doubt anyone sits and watches the whole 2-hour shebang (or 3, in Today's case) from start to end...

Heh, I guess my viewing habits are a little different.  I'll stick around for the hole hour of a newscast just to see what's going on.  Especially if I need something on to pass the time as I'm doing drawn out 3D modelling.  If I see the same stories repeated at 6PM, that's when I flip the channel .

I think the best bet now is to wait for the FF ep to run on PAX, they won't disrupt the show when it airs there.>>

I don't supposed anyone knows what ep their on, do they?  Our shows where 63, 064, and 65.  I only retaped the first two shows because of the bad reception on the original broadcast. The third show was the one I really needed because I was missing about 10 minutes of the show due to a mistake in recording...

And I was so busy putting together a new compuiter desk today that I completly forgot about it .

Here in Cleveland, I can recall a couple of instances where this should have been the case, because the interruption occurred before a critical moment in a game show or sporting event.  I think it was a couple or a few years ago when a Final Jeopardy was interrupted by a live weather bulletin after the rest of the show had aired.  (WEWS aired that particular FJ on their late news.)  And in November 2002, during the Atlanta Falcons-Pittsburgh Steelers football game, the last play of overtime (which I think was an Atlanta field goal attempt) was interrupted in similar fashion.  Those times I wish stations would put up a split screen or a picture-in-picture showing those critical moments while the bulletin airs.

Well, there's one instance where a newscast was interrupted by a game show.
