NBC Saturday Night Hockey

Post by sfpcc » Sun Apr 28, 2019 12:21 am

I have a question about NBC's Saturday night playoff hockey programing. Tonight's Columbus Blue Jackets Boston Bruins game went into double overtime, (Columbus won 3 to 2) pushing well into tonight's SNL rerun. Would they do the same thing if it was a live episode? Would NBC keep SNL waiting or they move the game to another channel? Somewhere the specter of 1968's Heidi Bowl is glowing.

Perhaps it would keep running in certain markets plus NBCSN.
The game also had an influence on sports broadcasting practices; the future National Football League would contractually stipulate that all game telecasts be shown to their conclusion in the markets of the visiting team, while other major leagues and events adopted similar mandates. In 1997, the Heidi Game was voted the most memorable regular season game in pro football history.
