Not Really A Good time To Do This

According to the Comcast guide WDIV is bumping the season finale of Law And Order SVU for something called Local 4 Sports Special. Right now I can't tell if it's being moved to WADL of shown at a later date. I know this station does this somewhat often but it's the season finale! It's not some Saturday night rerun. Maybe something will change or it will show up on demand.

"We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming for a special presentation of Make Good Theater. Thank you for allowing us to fulfill our contractual obligations to our advertisers and clients by showing something in primetime with inventory we control instead of the mere 4 minutes the network gives us. In between the commercials Bernie has amassed some amusing videos from the internet and we talk to some Tigers."

According to Zap2It WDIV is actually preempting the episode that precedes the finale-and it's also a new episode. That episode won't air on WADL either.

There is finally relief. WDIV will show the entire two-hour season finale and the Sports Special will actually preempt an SVU repeat that precedes the finale instead. Source is from at least two program guides.

I'm sure Local 4 did this because they finally gave in and did something to please all those complainers.
