OJ strikes again in daytime. Due to the media circus, our favorite soaps will once again be affected. I mentioned this in the DAYS thread that this could likely mean Day 2 of Ron C could be potentially moved to Friday. 

 

Another link details the coverage from the different TV Networks following it.

The TL;DR for the 3 Networks:

 

NBC: Cutting into programming at 1pm with NBC News Special Report. DAYS preempted

 

ABC: Same as NBC. GH possibly affected 

 

CBS (Edit): CBS is cutting into programming for a Special Report. 2nd half of Y&R/B&B affected. Judging by the hearing, The Talk will likely air as scheduled 

 

How do you feel about OJ preempting Daytime again years later? Do you agree with NBC or ABC cutting into their schedules to cover the parole hearing, or feel like they should've followed CBS and just broke in when they needed to?

I'm sorry but this question is inappropriate, like your questions about rape and necrophilia

 

The wording isn't great but it also isn't something that hasn't been discussed here before. 

 

I'm just sorry that yet again the media have made this man a spectacle.

Believe it or not, Marcy's former Santa Barbara castmate Tawny Kitaen had an affair with O.J. Simpson.

Wait? You like talking about Marcy Walker don't you? Lawd ...

I just watched my DVR recordings for Thursday, I'm in the central time zone.  GH starts at 1pm and had the first 30 minutes interrupted, they came back for about 20 minutes and then were interrupted for the last 10 again.  DAYS airs at 12:30 and aired without interruption.  This is usually what happens when a news event happens - ABC will wax on and on interrupting GH for most of the broadcast and if NBC does anything it is a shorter interruption, they seem more to the point.
