WXYZ preempts part of MLB playoff game
According to someone on the 506 Sports Discord, WXYZ did not air the 3 PM hour of ABC's MLB playoff game between the Philadelphia Phillies and Saint Louis Cardinals, preempting it for a couple of infomercials. I am shocked WXYZ decided to do this, but if this was for make-goods reasons I wouldn't be surprised.

Personally I have no interest in the baseball playoffs. They go on too long, until a week after Halloween. Way too many games. WXYZ might sense that other people feel the same way too.mtburb wrote: ↑Fri Oct 07, 2022 7:31 pmAccording to someone on the 506 Sports Discord, WXYZ did not air the 3 PM hour of ABC's MLB playoff game between the Philadelphia Phillies and Saint Louis Cardinals, preempting it for a couple of infomercials.

I feel the same way about the NHL and NBA postseasons. But in all three sports, I enjoy the day-to-day activity of the regular season.

Did anyone on the 506 corroborate that claim? 7 had multiple posts on their Facebook page letting viewers know they could stream the 4pm newscast due to the game telecast. It's there in the listings at 2pm and hard to believe they would stop the telecast in the middle for infomercials.
I used to like the 506 but after about a day of the Discord disaster I moved on.

Why didn't WXYZ not use TV20 for the 4PM newscast Yesterday?

Re: WXYZ preempts part of MLB playoff game
That's great, but do you think that they should preempt part of a playoff game because you don't have any interest? Not really sure what you added to the conversation here.Bobbert wrote: ↑Fri Oct 07, 2022 10:40 pmPersonally I have no interest in the baseball playoffs.

Who cares? Real sports are on.

I can guarantee that the game aired in its entirety.

I wonder if whoever posted that on the Discord maybe lived out-of-market, where they have to replace the ABC content with infomercials?

one guy made one post on a discourse board somewhere, and it wasn't confirmed, and you come here and act like it happened.mtburb wrote: ↑Fri Oct 07, 2022 7:31 pmAccording to someone on the 506 Sports Discord, WXYZ did not air the 3 PM hour of ABC's MLB playoff game between the Philadelphia Phillies and Saint Louis Cardinals, preempting it for a couple of infomercials.

Did you call channel 7 to confirm? Have any other type of confirmation?
