    Appendix C-1 Selected Network - Affiliate Preemption Issues KFOX-TV, El Paso/Las Cruces, Texas, Fox Affiliate · Until recent years, the Station was able to preempt what it considered “lower standard programming” during sweeps and replace it with quality programming of interest to local viewers. · Station also, until recently, was able to reschedule sports of little interest to the Texas market (such as ice skating and skiing) and run programs to which the station had previous commitments before Fox decided to expand its sports programming. · Station has declined commitments to local college sports because carrying the games would cause the station to exceed its allocated preemptions. · Station has wanted to air programs of local interest, such as specials during prime time on issues such as Y2k border security, but was denied permission for the preemptions by the network. KIRO-TV, Seattle, Washington, CBS Affiliate · Station reports that the network has become much less flexible regarding make-goods for prime time preemptions. Through 2000, when KIRO-TV preempted any network prime program for a Mariners game or a local news special, KIRO had the option of making those preempted network shows good either in late night or sometime the following weekend. For example on Thursday, June 22, 2000, KIRO aired a 7-10 p.m. Mariners game and made good the two preempted episodes of Diagnosis Murder the following Saturday at 3-4 p.m. and Sunday at 4-5 p.m.. As of 2001, the Station no longer has this extended delay option. When network prime time is preempted locally, the network pressures the Station for make goods the same day in late night.

  • Joint Statement: Seafair, Seattle Seahawks, the Bite of Seattle, the Seattle Mariners, Sounders FC, the Seattle Storm, and the WA State Fair
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 27, 2020 Media Contact Patrick Harrison, Director of Marketing & Communications 206-728-0123 x 109 [email protected] Joint Statement: Seafair, Seattle Seahawks, The Bite of Seattle, The Seattle Mariners, Sounders FC, The Seattle Storm, and the WA State Fair We, the organizers and teams of some of the Northwest’s favorite summer events, sports, and activities, implore you, our fans and patrons, to follow local government calls to stay at home. What you do over the next few weeks can either help or hinder the return of some of your favorite events. We don’t know how long it will take to flatten the curve, but what you do now could help save celebrations and entertainment for the Puget Sound Region. While home, stay home. If you must venture out, only do so for food, medicine, or defined essential work. If out for needed exercise, please follow social distancing guidelines. Wash your hands often and refrain from touching your face. The small steps that you take now could help stop this virus for you, your neighbors, and your community. When the emergency has passed and our social interaction returns to normal, all events will be an important part of the recovery, providing people with a sense of community, local pride and the opportunity to return to the kinds of social interaction that build and maintain strong neighbors and communities. After a long period of isolation, our communities are going to need live interaction, connection, and celebration more than ever. Help us flatten the curve that could help your favorite event and sport return.

We were in Texas for spring break during a city’s weeklong community celebration that seemed similar to our Seafair. Unfortunately, most of the activities, even parades and watching school band performances, had an admission fee, and not just a couple of bucks.
