This just happened for me. If you live in the NY/NJ area, maybe you can relate:
Me: I'm just looking through the sport pages . . .
Newspaper: Yeah, Giants are playing tomorrow night on ESPN . . . and Ch. 11.
Me: Fucking what?!?
Newspaper: Is there a problem?
Me: That's the second part of Crisis!!! Where's the TV schedule?!? This can't be happening . . .
Newspaper: You've been out of the loop. I don't have listings on Sunday.
[a few minutes later]
Me:: This can't be happening. No fucking way should I have to miss the second part because the local area HAS to see the Giants' worthless asses play. Fuck, at least the Jets win games in between losing to previously-winless teams . . .
Cable: I got Batwoman at 8, Black Lightning at 9.
Me: For real?
Cable: Um, yeah.
Me: Wait, so where will Giants/Bears be airing here?
Cable: ESPN . . . and Ch. 7.
Me: The ABC affiliate. This is a Christmas/Holiday miracle.
Cable: Dude, your story framing device is weird . . .
So, yeah, the local ABC station should be airing Monday Night Football, pre-empting The Great Christmas Light Fight and The Good Doctor. I just wanted to share this because there's always a chance the CW affiliate might wind up airing MNF. In which case, I'd like options as to how I could see Batwoman ASAP, as opposed to waiting after I come home from work to watch On Demand.
