Maybe we're disagreeing on the definition of "bonus coverage"; I'm using it to mean a game that the network switches to after the original game is over (with James Brown saying "And now here's bonus coverage of the Jets and Bills"). For whatever reason, CBS stayed with the Pats-Titans game all the way to the end, then switched to New York and Buffalo. >> 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." If Summerall and Brookshier were calling Rams-Cowboys, it probably was. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
