I don't see anything in the listings to indicate that the commercial
networks are blowing off their primetime schedules for any Jackson-
related programming. Have you heard otherwise?
In addition, Tuesdays are the night for NOVA (reruns) and Nova
scienceNOW (new episodes). And, of course, "True Blood" on HBO.
I'm also seeing a bunch of new programs on the cable networks,
such as the premiere of "Warehouse 13" on PsyPhi.

Local news here did say all 3 networks would cover it, about like a
state funeral. 'Breaking news' with prurient appeal vs. reruns? Yeah,
they will likely cover it.

The memorial service is in the late morning (California time). Have
you heard anything about the networks repeating it in the evening?
So far, as I noted, the listings (and their websites) show normal
programming on Tuesday night.

Let's see - even if network Primetime gets nuked, I'll record at least
"Make It or Break It" and "Raising the Bar" on Monday, and "Warehouse
13" will still premiere on Tuesday on Psly-Phy. (And I work late on
Tuesday, anyway.)
So, I should be covered... :)

One local radio station has announced it will carry the "event". I
suspect others will too.
From there, I can certainly imagine the station rerunning it in the
evening "as a special favor to you listeners", if for no other reason
than they've been reairing older shows to fill in during holidays lately.
That may not be the case for TV, but I suspect it may. "It's not
fair to the people who can't watch during the day". At the very least,
there will be recaps during all the news and entertainment news shows in
the evening.

For the summer, the broadcast networks mostly have reality and gameshows.
However, the networks do/did have some firstrun scripted programming on:
ABC: Better Off Ted, Samantha Who?, Surviving Suburbia, The Goode Family,
The Unusuals, Pushing Daisies, Eli Stone, Dirty Sexy Money
CBS: Harper's Island
CW: Valentine
NBC: The Listener, Kings, The Philanthropist, Merlin
FOX: Mental

The major broadcast nets will air the service live, no primetime
reruns.

I think I'd have to say that such a condition doesn't quite equate to
"no TV next Tuesday".

There's a new episode of "Deadliest Catch" for me on Tuesday.

Try C-Span. In theory, they wouldn't be doing MJ coverage.
Michael Black
I heard somewhere recently (I think it was on TV) that nobody watches
C-Span, so they can do whatever they like.

Notice that about 75% of this airs Fri-Sun. They're not putting
burn-off shows during the week, presumably because they can get bigger
audiences for the reality crap.

Yeah - of these only "The Listener" airs on Thurs. (and it's getting
*killed*), and Mental (and Better of Ted?) airs on Wednesday.

In CBS's case, at least, they actually get bigger ratings for scripted
series reruns.

Not sure, but I think there are 3 episodes. Marked my calendar for July
18th!

Yep. TV viewers prefer reality crap and reruns to original scripted
programming...especially if the scripted programming is known to be burnoff.
For whatever reason, many/most TV fans are scared to be caught watching
something that has been cancelled.

I've always liked that CBS reruns their Sunday night dramas in the
summer, because during the regular season they get pushed around by
Sunday afternoon football.

I should have added "morning". However, there's nothing in the
evening I care to watch either. There are, I hear, a few shows out
there I might like at inconvenient times, but none I've sampled enough
to bother to tape except Masterpiece Mysteries.

I love PBS, too, but they have nothing to do with Morning Edition
or any other program on Minnesota Public Radio. (Unless MPR runs
the audio feed of PBS's "NewsHour," which some public radio stations
do.) Your adulation in this case would be properly directed at NPR,
APM, and other providers of public radio programming. APM, by the
way, is an outgrowth of MPR that produces "A Prairie Home Companion"
and many other popular radio shows.

Apparently ABC will have two hours tonight about the event. Barbara
Walters will interview the family at 9pm, then at 10pm something else.
I hear Robert Macnamara died yesterday. The only place I noticed that (I
don't tend to watch the tv news that much) was on the page for "Fresh
Air", where they said they'd rerun a 1995 interview with him, and then
some related older piece.

You're right; I meant NPR, but I also like many public TV shows.

I'm wondering whether some movie network might rerun "The Fog of
War" soon, but so far I'm not finding it in a search of the upcoming
TV listings.
