9:00 AM "Charmed" schedule on TNT likely altered

[Wallyhorse]

To all:

Because of a NASCAR BUSCH Series race having to be postponed from Saturday afternoon to Monday and TNT being forced to pick up that race due to NBC (which was scheduled to show the race on Saturday) being unable to show the rescheduled event, TNT was forced to alter its schedule on Monday which resulted in the pre-emption of the 9:00 AM ET/PT edition of Charmed that was scheduled to precede an 11-hour Law & Order marathon that had been scheduled to start at 10:00 AM ET/PT. As a result of the BUSCH race being at 11:00 AM ET/8:00 AM PT, in order to keep the "L & O" marathon in tact for the west coast, TNT moved up the first three episodes of the "L & O" marathon in the east by two hours each.

As a result of what happened on Monday, the 9:00 AM ET/PT airings of Charmed will likely be running a day behind for while. Below is what was the schedule for this week at 9:00 AM ET/PT before the sudden change due to the pre-emption:

Today (Monday 2/16): Pardon My Past (Pre-empted due to the rescheduled NASCAR race)
Tuesday 2/17: Give Me A Sign
Wednesday 2/18: Murphy's Luck
Thursday 2/19: How to Make a Quilt out of Americans
Friday 2/20: Chick Flick

Monday 2/23: Ex Libris
Tuesday 2/24: Astral Monkey
Wednesday 2/25: Apocalypse Not
Thursday 2/26: Be Careful What You Witch For
Friday 2/27: Honeymoon's Over, The

Figure on these episodes running one day after they had been scheduled as a result of the changes caused by the rescheduled NASCAR race.

That was last week on the NBA doubleheaders. What it turned out actually happened from my understanding is that TNT moved up this morning's (Monday 2/16) Charmed to 7:00 AM ET/PT without telling anyone, also moving up the start of the Law & Order marathon in the east to 8:00 AM ET/PT so that in the west, the "L & O" marathon could begin on time following the BUSCH series race.

What happened here was that NBC (which had the NASCAR race on Saturday, but was rained out) could not show the re-scheduled BUSCH race on Monday due to the fact in the west, the race would have had to air during the second and third hours of the TODAY show while in the east, many affiliates would have pre-empted it for scheduled programming. That's why TNT had the race this morning.

Yeah I know that part. But during my time with the charmed episodes is the crappy NBA. I hate them all they do is bump into each other and cry about it. Charmed is so much better then the NBA.
