Their spokesperson told me that they'd be pre-empting the "NASCAR Countdown" show for Loudon & Watkins Glen too ... They did it with Bristol and Talladega as well ... They did the same thing last year too ...<BR/><BR/><BR/><B>Anon @ 7:23pm - </B> KATU and KOMO have the same owner ... Fisher Communications ... Though, the schedule for KATU says they're gonna air the pre-race show at noon & the race at 12:30pm, you'll have to watch & let us know IF they in fact do that & you see everything 30 minutes later than the rest of the USA ... <BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Fisher's owns many tv & radio stations on the West Coast ... But, KOMO and KATU are their ONLY ABC affiliates ... All the rest are CBS or FOX ...<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>The irony of the whole thing is: In the response from KOMO-tv's spokeperson (who I think is the station mgr), she misspelled the name of the show that's going to be aired at 11:30am instead of the pre-race show ... Her misspelling was not limited to my emails as JD & a newspaper reporter/blogger got the same response & misspelling ... So, clearly the woman has NO clue ...<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><B>andrew s. - </B> The FCC considers it to be "children's programming" because the main stars are still kids & it's shown on Disney Channel (as well as ABC) ... But, if you've seen the show, you'll know it's a cute show, but only "educational / informational" if you want to learn how to get into mischief & cause mayhem/havoc ...

The local ABC affiliate has Good Morning America Weekend at 7am PT, children's programming between 8am and 11:30am, with NASCAR Countdown starting at 11:30am. And it looks like ESPN2 is still doing a rebroadcast of the race at midnight.colettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17568552867579423749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-79814864079109247722008-06-27T19:23:00.001-04:002008-06-27T19:23:00.001-04:00The Portland, OR affiliate KATU has always done th...The Portland, OR affiliate KATU has always done the same thing and aired the children's programming instead of NASCAR Countdown. According to KATU's website, they will be airing NASCAR Countdown tomorrow at 12 pm PT istead of airing it live at 11:30 am PT. So it looks as though KATU is choosing to solve the problem by tape-delaying the race by 30 minutes.

Their regular news advertisers aren't paying to showcase their products to kids. And those who sponsor the children's shows lose viewers if the programming is bumped up because many don't keep up with tv listings. The station may have dedicated sponsors in those time slots and be unable to be flexible. <BR/><BR/>Of course, it's possible the members of management belong to the Washington State "I hate NASCAR club": <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdlWPfNAUwQ " REL="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdlWPfNAUwQ</A>. I have no idea. <BR/><BR/>But if this has been going on for "quite some time now," I'm left wondering why NASCAR hasn't made other broadcast arrangements in the Seattle market.tallglassofmilkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293416720936260213noreply@blogger.com
