How many people were unable to see 60 Minutes last night

[clydefrand]

due to blackout of their CBS station during that hour? If so, were other local stations still on the air?

2. I saw on here last night

that at least 3 DU'ers from Richmond, Ohio, and PA said they couldn't see 60 minutes.

3. My own personal blackout

fell asleep in my son's bed when I was reading to him and woke after midnight.

6. I didn't catch it because...

I'd heard that it was only going to run at 3:30 am in the OKC area, so I set my VCR and forgot it til I found out that they actually had run the program. *sigh*

7. Indianapolis screwed around with it bigtime

First they bumped it to 2am due to the station's 50th anniversary show, conveniently slotted into the only hour that 60 mins occupies.

Then, apparently at the last minute, it moved 60 minutes to 9pm, or an hour later that it was originally scheduled.

Only reason I knew that was due to a fellow Hoosier's post on DU. So I got to watch it. But i bet a bunch of people set their recorders for 2am if they had heard of the bump, or just missed it altogether when they saw the anniversary show instead of 60 mins.

Definitely has the look of tampering. The station probably felt that by moving it back to 9pm it covered its backside, but the damage was already done by that point.

8. I thought it was going to be on Sunday's 60 Minutes!

Oh, shoots. I didn't know it was, what, 60 Minutes II?
