Hi folks -
If you live on the East Coast, tonight’s Presidential Address (scheduled for 9:00 p.m. - 9:20 p.m. ET) will interrupt several prime-time programs across the big four broadcast networks. Others have been rescheduled.
Because this was just announced late yesterday, your Tablo’s TV Guide Data will most likely not reflect the changes to tonight’s programming lineup.
As such, you may need to use Tablo’s advanced recording options to extend tonight’s recordings to ensure the entirety of your program is captured.
Here are the details on the scheduling changes:
On FOX
- The season finale of The Masked Singer will still start at 8:00 p.m. ET, but will be paused between 9:00 p.m. - 9:20 p.m. to switch to the address. When it ends, the remainder of the 2-hour finale will air between 9:20 p.m. ET and 10:20 p.m. ET.
On CBS
- The special 2-hour episode of Survivor will also still start at 8:00 p.m. ET, but will be paused between 9:00 p.m. - 9:20 p.m. for the address. When it ends, the remainder of Survivor will air between 9:20 p.m. ET and 10:20 p.m. ET.
- The episode of America’s Culinary Cup originally scheduled to start at 10:00 p.m. ET will be pushed back to 10:20 p.m. ET.
ON NBC
- The episode of Chicago Fire originally scheduled to start at 9:00 p.m. ET will be pushed back to 9:20 p.m. ET.
