It's not nation wide, but my market is one affected by it tomorrow so some of you may want to check your guides. 11 PM Smackdown. Yay...

This will make the overnight ratings more volatile and less accurate so people should usually wait for the final number anyway but that's especially true in cases like this.

Packer preseason games are on my NBC affiliate so I'm able to switch back and forth, or better yet, listen to the Packers Radio Network and watch SD on mute.

Wrestling shows on local channels/network TV can be quite a bitch during the fall.

This will only affect you if your local NFL team's preseason games are produced and/or broadcast by your local Fox affiliate. Fox only has one nationally televised NFL preseason broadcast this year and it's on a Sunday. The NFL has really scaled back their nationally televised preseason games because, in the last half dozen years or so, most teams have decided against playing their regulars much, if at all, in preseason. Prior to that, you could expect starters to play a quarter to a half in the 2nd and 3rd preseason games.

Thanks to both. I don't mind Smackdown (powered by whisky and the Smackdown Thread!) but the idea of a 4am start for it is beyond even silly old me!

I have to avoid twitter until it airs here then. Guess I'll just spend that time trying to get through this 900 page fairy tale book I'm reading.

Eh, I once watched SmackDown at 2am because of preseason football. My UPN affiliate (before it became CW) had aired a Giants game that went on for more innings. Smackdown didn't air until 12am. I wasn't going to stay up until 2am watching Smackdown.

Trey Lance gonna show the world! (That he’s better than Jimmy Garoppolo, so the bar is already immensely low)

I remember back in the day it used to get preempted by UPN here because of the Pistons sometimes, so I'd have to watch on either Saturday or Sunday.

At least it's not as bad as Raw getting preempted for Tennis and Dog Shows during it's first eight years of existence. I remember getting so pissed about that when I was a kid. Especially in like 2000 when WWF was really good and the product was super hot at the time.

Preseason football STINKS!!! I get why they have to have it, but I just can't watch it. I'll just read and check injury reports the next day.

Most times it's boring but every now and then it'll lead to something. Russell Wilson and Derek Carr had such good preseasons that they were named the starters when originally they were to sit behind Matt Flynn and Matt Schaub, for example.

It was so weird in the summer time, I’d end up being mad that some Pistons thing was on instead of wrestling, only to randomly be flipping channels on a Sunday afternoon and catching it like lol wait what the hell happened
