Because I'm at work and want to be clear...does that mean that it will NOT interfere with Survivor? I'm so confused! I'm in central time, in Kansas, and Survivor comes on at 7pm. My TIVO is set on "Season Pass" to record it. Am I okay?

Anyone know? I guess at this point it doesn't matter because I can't get home to change the TIVO recording anyhow. I just hope I don't lose the last 5 minutes of Tribal Council when my TIVO switches to NBC to record The Apprentice. That'll hack me off!

Spy, The CBS HOMEPAGE is now showing 8PM EST the press conference 9PM EST Survivor 10PM EST CSI looks like you will get to watch the press conf on your TIVO  (8PM EST is 7PM central, n'est-ce pas?) ETA: NBC is showing 8PM Political content 9PM the Apprentice 10PM ER so it looks like survivor may be on opposite the apprentice!!

I've always thought they should just use a channel like C-Span to air ALL political, partisan or non-partisan, judicial, executive or legistative branch announcements, decisions, speeches, press conferences.. there and only there. Then there would be "breaking" "news" allowed only on news channels or during scheduled news programs. The weather channel would carry all weather/earth related watches, warnings, reports, announcements and press conferences. A dedicated channel would carry all amber alerts, car chases, missing adults, escaped bad guys and reports about same. Shows would never be pre-empted.

If they stick to that schedule, then I can still be spoiled from 6-7 pacific, get to my piano lesson at 7:35 and come home in time to watch survivor here (it will already be started but my DVR will have been recording it..

true Sea, - for you , the press conference will be on at 5PM so it shouldn't interfere with your schedule, will it?? Lucky you!! For our Canadian carrier, Global, they normally show Survivor at 8Pm followed by apprentice at 9PM then Without a Trace at 10PM. I have no idea how they will get around this. THey are showing an old will& grace right now for the 8-830 timeslot but I wonder how they will show both survivor and apprentice!!

For the confused.... CBS originally said they weren't going to carry the press conference, but later retracted it (but perhaps in exchange, the conference got moved up to 8 from 8:30)...So 9 now looks correct. The reason why CBS and the others were a little upset...tonight is the first night of May Sweeps....

Yes, this is one of those times when it is best to be on the west coast. On the other hand quite often we have events that happen and are aired on the east coast at 8pm that actually happen here at 5pm, but we are forced to wait until 8pm here (stuff like Emmys or Academy Awards, Grammys.. and then it is bestter to be on the east coast. And ofte we out here get shafted with "live" call in's which are only valid for east coast viewers.. because by the time we see the show the hosts and callers are home watching the 11pm news. And then there'e election nights when the news organizations must report national results before our polls even close, causing many people to fail to vote, even on local issues.. must be even worse in Hawai'i. Here we get Survivor at 8pm, CSI at 9pm, Without a Trace at 10 on CBS.. on NBC Apprentice at 9pm, followed by ER at 9:59.

so what will they do for the next 45 minutes!! Global just announced it will do survivor at 9PM and apprentice at 10PM so, at least in Canada, we will get to watch both, thank God.

I'm with you Jbean! Love Bush and all, but Thursday nite? C'mon W, give us a break. Hoping it starts at 9 like planned. I didn't even see a banner or announcement or anything saying when it would start. CBS should give some sort of hint, so I don't have to jump on the internet to find out.

I feel like a child being sent to their room with no tv for the evening. Why? Because Daddy was upset that the polls weren't in his favor and so he canceled tv on the night most American's love it most.
