CBS Not Carrying Tonight's Trump Speech?

[Mark Jeffries]

If the Comcast onboard guide is correct, CBS will not be interrupting the cycle finale of "Survivor" tonight for Donny Dementia's address to the nation at 9 p.m. ET, an interesting position for the Bari Weiss network.

As for the other OTAs, NBC will delay "Christmas in Nashville" until the coverage conclusion and the "Access Hollywood"-produced year-in-review special so it'll end right at 11 p.m. ET and local news, Fallon and Meyers will all air on time. ABC will interrupt the "iHeart Radio Jingle Ball" and pick it up after the coverage, with "20/20," the local news, Kimmel and "Nightline" running late. Fox will interrupt the cycle finale of "The Floor" for the coverage and pick it up afterwards, tossing it back to the affiliates late. The CW's not dropping anything but will probably run a message to turn to NewsNation for the speech. And PBS will probably feed the address to the affiliates with their choice whether to run it or not, like they usually do.

CBS is carrying the address. Will slide the remainder of Survivor. Stations were reminded not to auto start late news since it will be delayed. Colbert also slides.

I'm curious what Global Tv will do in Canada. I have extended my DVR by 3hrs.

They’ll either ignore the delay or drop in reruns of Border Security.

FYO IYC, at least on Xfinity's OSG, it's not registering the post-address portion of "Survivor" as a separate episode (not labelled as a repeat, but same episode number & title), so series recordings aren't catching it.  You have to manually set it to record.

[Doug Eastick]

You are correct. 

It's Border security.
