President Bush has scheduled a news conference for about 8:30pm Eastern tommorrow night...so likely the entire prime time schedule will be delayed by likely an hour and a half to 2 hours..set your VCR's and TIVO's accordingly. http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20050428/pl_nm/bush_newsconference_dc_3

Woohoo! I have a test tomorrow night...no way to tape/record...so maybe I'll be able to actually watch an episode this season, instead of reading about it here (btw, thx Raen!) I'm sure this is gonna mess with a lot of schedules around here, but it's all about me, y'know!

Well I think that they should only air the speech in states where Bush won. Let us New Yorkers watch what is really important. I am calling CBS.

"As of Thursday morning, CBS is planning to start Survivor at 8:00 p.m., go to the press conference at approximately 8:30, and then resume Survivor at the point it was stopped following coverage of the press conference. No portions of Survivor are planned to be missed." The above from my local CBS station...is this insane? Why not have filler for the first half hour, air the Pres, then show Survivor? Won't it be too split?

I just looked at CBS website and all they say is the president asked the networks to air it and then they said that they will have a live webcast of the presidents press conference on cbs.com. They didnt say anything about knocking out programming.

NO blue states should be subjected to this man. I am in Massachusetts. There should be one station devoted to coverage of Bush and the popes, dead or alive. This preempting for special interest groups has got to stop. Seperation of politics/religion and entertainment! I think I will throw space launches in there too.

Tish is just goes to show out of touch they all are in washington. Thursday night is the big night of tv, you never put a speech on a thursday and then to do it at 8:30? What about 9? Does he really have to be in bed at 10:00? so far I havent seen anything on the CBS site that they are going to preempt to show the speech. maybe CBS will show a tape delay of the speech

They just announced on MSNBC that the press conference has been moved up to 8:00p EDT. So make your plans with this in mind.

I paid $2.19 a gallon for gas this morning. I don't need no stinkin' news conference interrupting my damn TV shows to tell me gas prices went up.

Wow, Lexie girl, where do you live? That's low! We pay $2.44 per gallon and I know we are not the highest in this good ole' US of A. My sister lives in the Bay Area and they were close to $3.00 per gallon. Consider yourself lucky.

Uhhh... I live in New Orleans... you know about 60 miles from the Gulf of Mexico where they drill for it. $2.19 per gallon was for Conoco el cheapo unleaded - 89 octane. It was $2.29 a gallon for super unleaded at Conoco and wayyyyy higher at Shell stations. Conoco is the el cheapo gas down here.

I think the WH is perfectly aware that Thursday night is a big TV night. I have always thought that it was W's way of having control over our lives - forcing himself upon us and disrupting our entertainment. He has had many press conferences during the Survivor time slot. I live in a red state but don't want to hear him either!! ETA - not that I'm red true blue here

Originally set for 8:30 p.m., the event was moved up to 8:01 "due to the complications of network programming," the White House announced Thursday afternoon there is an old song from the sixties I am reminded of "Power to the people!!! Power to the people Right on" Dont mess with survivor
