DATELINE May Be Pre-Empted or Rescheduled!

Mister Biggs

There will be an NBA Playoff game on NBC at 9:00 PM EST.
This means that Dateline will either be pre-empted OR shown at 8:00 PM EST.

According to my TV Guide that I received in the mail yesterday, it is scheduled to come on at 10:00 PM EST.

That would mean that it will be pre-empted.

However, TVGuide.com shows Dateline being scheduled to air at 8:00 PM EST.

That would mean that it would air as scheduled.

So, since Friday's (May 24) Dateline will be the last show until Tuesday (Sunday's is pre-empted) they should announce at the end of the show what will be coming up for Tuesday the 28th.

Let's keep an eye on this.
The only thing definite is that it WILL NOT air at 10:00 PM EST (for all you VCR-heads) on May 28.

My apologies, of course, if someone has already addressed this. :o)

Hey people's

Jehovahs Spirit is working this. First 9-11 than the playoffs,
the result is Dateline not showing. Guess all the NBA dudes
were right in thanking Jesus after all.

Dateline NBC
Tuesdays (10-11 p.m.), Fridays (9-10 p.m.) and Sundays (7-8 p.m.)
The award winning prime time magazine show.

OK, Mr. Biggs, you've confused ME totally. As far as I can see from the show times listed above from the msnbc website, there IS no Dateline show tonight, THURSDAY, May 23, to be viewing.

I had heard that Sunday, May 26's show is pre-empted.

So, yes, TOMORROW night it would be a good idea to tune in and see what the upcoming segments and air times are.

oh, and MM?

Oops! Yes, TOMORROW night is what I meant.
I must be nuts for thinking that today is Friday.

And I had ALREADY toned down what I meant to say, sicko!

OK I'm going to ask a STUPID question. What does pre-empted mean? and I live in CA so what time will it show? Just give it to me straight.

Pre-empted means that another unscheduled program (for example, the Playoffs) airs instead of the show that would normally air in that time-slot.
The game should be over at 9 or 9:30 (Pacific) and Dateline would probably air at 10:00 PM Pacific.

On the East Coast, it probably will air BEFORE the game (because the game won't end until midnight over here in the East.

Thanks for posting this, Mister Biggs.

I will be working on Tuesday night, and would have set my VCR to tape Dateline from 10-11pm, instead of 8-9pm.

Maybe, just to be on the safe side, I'll let the tape run from 8pm until 11pm.

Love, Scully
