Please reread my quote. CBS had the doubleheader this week. It wasn't "bonus coverage" when CBS switched everyone from Pats-Titans to Jets-Bills. > In the '70s, on weeks where CBS' single game was early, I'd turn on my > affiliate at 7:00 to see 60 Minutes, and they'd join the end of their > late national game. If it was a singleheader week, then it wasn't a "national game." Perhaps I'm remembering incorrectly, but in the '80s, I only remember seeing CBS switch FROM local programming TO football (as opposed to "60 Minutes") at 7:00 when... 1. It was a doubleheader week for CBS. 2. My local CBS affiliate wasn't showing a game at 4:00. I was in Tampa, so this happened in CBS doubleheader weeks when the Bucs played a 1:00 home game against an NFC opponent. -- Jim Ellwanger <train...@ellwanger.tv> <http://www.ellwanger.tv> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ TV or Not TV ....
