CBS just sent their coverage plans for the Michael Jackson funeral on Tuesday 7/7/09. Their coverage starts around 1:00 (all times eastern), which would normally cut into the middle of "The Young and the Restless". So...they're bumping "Y&R" to 11:00, local news at noon as normal, "Bold & Beautiful" at 12:30. They'll join "Guiding Light" in progress, then TPiR will air at 3:00pm. Other time zones appear to be similarly changed; Price appears to be airing in "Guiding Light"'s time slot all across the board.
-
I would *assume* then that for those who get GL at 10/9c, TPIR will air at 10/9c as well.
For those of you with DVRs and record TPIR, don't assume that you'll get this change in time. If they sent the plans at 5 PM to the grid people, that might not make it to the nightly updates. Trust me on this one.

...And for those playing along in the *central* time zones... IIRC it's Y&R at 10a, Bold and the Beautiful at 11a, Local Time at 11:30a, Jackson coverage from 12p-1:30pish, Guiding Light will be JIP'ed and then TPiR at 2p. Essentially, your only major change is the 11a hour.

So, in Saginaw TPIR will be on the My affiliate at 10 tomorrow?
-
Join The Guiding Light in progress, my eye. Katie'll keep yammering until it's time for TPiR. Maybe we'll even get a token tear.
Query! With CBS News offering team coverage to this, what will The Eye Network do if Walter Cronkite succumbs tomorrow?

WNEM (http://\"http://www.wnem.com/news/19970322/detail.html\") says Due to CBS Network coverage of the Michael Jackson Memorial Service Tuesday, “The Young And The Restless” will be seen at 11 a.m. on TV5. “The Price Is Right” can be seen on MY5 at 10 a.m. Tuesday only.

What they should do: stop coverage and announce it with the class it should have.
What they could do: announce it over the telecast (a la Howard Cosell when John Lennon died)
What they would do: jack squat until the funeral was over.
If it all plays out like a "normal" day, I'd get TPIR at 9AM (because it would make sense to keep the feeding times the same but change the programs they feed, right?). Not shabby.
-
Wow, that's got to be the first time a My station has aired TPiR. I wonder if they will plaster the My logo over the CBS eye? I might have to record this.
-
When T(N)PiR first ran in 1972, it was on at 3:00 PM. Albeit for only a half hour.

You are WRONG! The program bowed at 10:30am New York time in 1972. The move to 3pm didn't happen until March 1973.
-
Wouldn't it make more sense to have scheduled Y&R for after the coverage? It's easier to get people to show up later than earlier...and since TPiR is in reruns anyway, seems Y&R is the important cog in this arrangement for CBS.

I thought the same thing as you, Chris, but then I realized what CBS may have realized. This could run considerably longer than is believed and since the network is mindful that the fan base of daytime's #1 rated drama is legion, they wanted to run no risk of pre-emption. If TPiR runs, terrific. If not, so what. It's an encore presentation. As for their plan of joining Guiding Light in progress, that show's a dead duck, so who cares. And under this plan, As The World Turns is back tomorrow with no loss of content.

This actually holds true here in Pittsburgh as KDKA announced during it's morning news that TPIR will air @ 10am today only.

KYW has TPiR at 10 a.m. today. You can probably all sleep better knowing this.
-
If you please, I'd like to know what time every city in America will be running The Price Is Right today and on what channel.
If possible, I'd also like to know what show will precede it, whether it be a network show or a syndicated offering. Thank you.
-
In Saginaw it will be on at !0am on My5, preceded by "The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet" a syndicated offering distributed by Fox.

What are the call letters for My5?
-
I personally plan to be at the laundry and the library during the day. There will be no media coverage. I hope.

My5 is WNEM-DT2, its their MyNetworkTV affiliate.
Oh yeah, down here on WWJ its on at 10, since they have been one of the stations airing GL at 10.
-
For Don: The call letters for My5 are WNEM-DT22.2

While I think it's very cool that TPiR gets a one-day afternoon slot, and I realize that soaps are important to those who watch them, I honestly thought the most CBS would do is either plug in something for 1/2 hour at 12:30 or just begin their coverage at 12:30.

Katie Couric can't vamp that long. Do you recall what happened on November 20th 2006?
Of course, they could bring in guest commentators Casey Kasem and Don Cornelius.

Looks like the memorial coverage is going past 3 PM Eastern in any case.

I honestly didn't think it would NOT go past 3pm (EST).
-
Coverage be damned here: WSBT ran local commercials at 2:58, right into Dr. Phil at 3 (mind you, the same one from 9AM today).
-
Here's a thought (feel free to WHOOSH if you need to) which of course completely negates my "Why would CBS go to all that trouble?!" post.
I don't think CBS probably ever intended to air TPiR - being a self-contained show, if it were joined in progress or completely wiped out, no big loss, so it made a perfect 3pm fill.
Y&R and B&B are unquestionably CBS's most popular soaps so they had to be scheduled (and the 11am and 12:30 EST slots were perfect). GL, IIRC, was to be JIP'd before TPiR and GL's a lame-duck, so it didn't really matter.
/Shades of Summer '87 with the Ollie North hearings
-
A Price show did air this morning in the 10am slot (for those stations that normally show GL in that slot) with the L.A. Dodgers making appearances.
-
For those who desperately want to see Guiding Light:
FORT WAYNE Ind. (WANE) - CBS coverage of Michael Jackson's funeral went longer than expected and because of that many viewers missed soap opera Guiding Light.
CBS will re-air the show from 2:37 a.m. to 3:37 a.m. Wednesday morning.
Don't know if this is just a Ft Wayne thing or national.

Norfolk got the same episode at 3pm...or at least from about 3:48-4:00. ;-)
