DirecTV took 60 minutes off the channel guide
I was going to watch 60 minutes and I checked the channel guide and it had a movie listed so I figured Orlando CBS preempted 60 minutes. I called them and they told me 60 minutes ran but DirecTV screwed up the channel guide. I wonder how many people across the country missed it because of that. Thank you Rupert Murdoch/KKKarl Rove

3. Not the point
They aired it in Orlando but like many people, I use the channel guide to navigate and the listed a movie starting at 8:00.

4. DirecTV only has what the channels give them
I don't like that fact that Murdoch owns it, but DirecTV/Tivo rocks!

5. C'mon. If Dtv were going to screw with the line up...
why didn't they do so to the CBS east and west broadcasts (380 and 381)?

My channel guide had 60 minutes for the east coast broadcast, and shows the same for the west coast broadcast.

6. Apparently there are
different guides for different areas of the country. My guide lists "Last Flight Out" starting at 8:00 CBS channel 6 Orlando. I don't get east and west channels.

7. No. They bumped the movie to show 60 minues.

(edited to say that I'm in Orlando, too.)

Originally, they were supposed to play the movie. My cable guide on the TV said they were going to play the movie and so does the printed guide in the newspaper from last Sunday.

The movie was scheduled BEFORE Mrs. Knox was scheduled. They ran a blurb at the bottom of the screen during 60 minutes that said the movie would be shown at 9:00 (they bumped a rerun of CSI:Miami to do that).
