"Bonus coverage" would only apply to 4:05 games, i.e., late games on the
network that doesn't have the doubleheader.
However, I don't believe this would come up, because I don't think either
CBS or Fox normally offers "bonus coverage" in the situation where they
have more than one late game in a non-doubleheader week -- once a game
ends, CBS will switch that audience to "60 Minutes" if it's after 7:00,
and Fox will switch to their postgame show, or whatever animated show is
being rerun at 7:30, or "The Simpsons" at 8:00.
And, of course, it would be an incredibly unusual event to have two 4:05
games still under way at 8:20 anyway.
