...which affects me.

My local NBC affiliate in Milwaukee has stopped carrying Saving Hope, and is broadcasting NFL pre-season football, instead.

Fortunately I discovered that my DVR was not showing a scheduled recording. I then did a menu search and Saving Hope did not come up at all. I then checked the NBC website and the TV Guide listings. Both showed Saving Hope returning, post-Olympics, tonight. WTF? I asked.

So I finally realized that it was my affiliate, not the network itself, and checked the TV Guide listings for antenna broadcasts in my area (between Milwaukee and Chicago.) The Chicago affiliate is still airing Saving Hope.

I still have an antenna, although it's not in the best of shape, and I have software on my PC that picks up broadcast signals. As of this morning, when I set up a recording, Chicago was coming in beautifully. So hopefully, right now, I am recording. I'll find out in about ten minutes. Will let you know! Because you all care! Deeply!

Stay tuned! ETA: It worked! :-)

Wow. TV over in the US sounds horrendously convoluted. I'm just very glad you still have Charlie in your life ... assuming he's still breathing (!). I'm hoping to view by cough*means*cough later.

I would also call/write to the local affiliate and let them know how very unhappy you are with them. Enough protests and they might make some room for it at another time.

Hope the antenna option works for you. It was an interesting episode.

I'm in a "dual market" area, which means I can get affiliates from two different markets. I get two versions of every network now, which comes in handy if the weather's wonky and knocks one out of commission.

I'm surprised that they're preempting locally but not scheduling it for another day/time. That's usually what happens, even if they put it on at 2 a.m.

Glad it worked. I thought it was interesting that there's a possibility that Charlie was misdiagnosed. Did he already have an issue that his injury brought out, or is the cause of his coma something beside the obvious?

I think we're nearing the end of the season, so I'm curious how they'll leave things.

My local CBS affiliate does the same thing in Jan-Feb with SEC basketball so I always miss 4-6 episodes of Criminal Minds. I get 2 CBS affiliates but they are both owned by the same company so they could split the shows. One could show basketball and one could show the CBS schedule but, alas, they won't do so.

I am on a small, local cable company that doesn't offer DVR.
